QUARTERBACK
Johnny Stanton has been serviceable for UNLV through two starts, but senior Cooper Rush might be the best quarterback in the Mid-American Conference. Rush, who is averaging 8.8 yards per attempt this season, is in his fourth year starting for the Chippewas and will likely finish as the school’s all-time passing leader.
Edge: Central Michigan
RUNNING BACK
Both teams rely on running back duos. The Rebels have sophomore Lexington Thomas and freshman Charles Williams, while Central Michigan has junior Devon Spalding and freshman Jonathan Ward. Right now UNLV’s younger backs have the edge in production.
