The UNLV football team played its second and final intrasquad scrimmage of fall camp that was open to the public on Friday morning at Rebel Park. It was the 17th of 29 practices leading up to the Rebels’ Sept. 1 season opener against Jackson State at Sam Boyd Stadium.

Junior quarterbacks Johnny Stanton and Kurt Palandech continue to be locked in a tight two-man race for the starting job after they each threw costly interceptions.
