UNLV Gambling Odds from Sportsbook.com to win BCS: +220000

The UNLV Rebels are famous for playing some very good basketball, but this football program just hasn’t been able to find any success on the field of late. In the last 15 years the Rebels have just one bowl appearance. Bobby Hauck is the new coach, and he was extremely successful in Montana as the Grizzlies head coach.

Hauck is looking to bring a new attitude to the team and get this Rebels football team on the map.

The offense looks like it should be solid this season, but the defense is a real question mark. In 2009 the UNLV defense was last in the conference in almost every defensive category. Rebels fans are hoping that Hauck and his assistants will bring along their defensive prowess from Montana and change this team quickly. Hauck is also changing the entire scheme on offense and switching to a pro style offense from a spread offense.

Clearly, some major changes are going to occur this season at UNLV.

Team Strengths:

The offensive line is a strong spot for the Rebels. Four starters return and three of them are seniors. The line will be asked to do more run blocking this year, which will certainly be an adjustment, but they should do well.

The Rebels have quite a bit of talent at the skill positions on the offensive side of the football. Both C.J. Cox and Channing Trotter are quality runners in the backfield. The receiving corps is solid with Phillip Payne and Michael Johnson.

The starting quarterback is still undecided, but both Omar Clayton and Mike Claussen are quality players.

Team Weaknesses:

The rushing defense is absolutely atrocious. Last year the Rebels gave up 221 yards per game on the ground. This is something that must change if UNLV is going to start winning games on a consistent basis.

The front seven have done a terrible job getting to the quarterback, which puts a ton of pressure on the secondary. The defense had a measly 15 sacks last year and they were not a bit disruptive against their best opponents. The worst news is 6.5 of those sacks came from a player who is no longer with the team. This is a huge area of concern.

The Rebels have to do a better job taking care of the football on offense. Last year they threw a lot of interceptions at costly times and they weren’t very good at taking the ball from their opponent.

2010-2011 UNLV Runnin’ Rebels Football Predictions: 6-7

I think that Hauck will likely have success turning this program around in the long run. This year’s schedule makes it pretty unlikely that 2010 will be the year they get to a bowl game. Injuries have been a huge problem at UNLV in the last couple of years, so if they stay healthy I think we will see some improvement from this team.

The front seven of this defense is too much of a weakness to ignore, which is why they’ll be unable to beat the best teams in their conference.
