Clash at CEFCU Stadium: UNLV Rebels Face San Jose State Spartans in College Football Showdown

As the UNLV Rebels gear up for their next encounter at the CEFCU Stadium, fans are eager to see if they can bounce back from their recent 40-7 defeat against the San Jose State Spartans. The Rebels have shown a mixed bag of performances in their past games, which could make this upcoming game an interesting one.

In their last three games, the Rebels have had two wins and one loss. Against New Mexico's Lobos, they secured a 31-20 victory with a solid offensive display totaling 356 yards and maintaining possession for over 30 minutes. Their defense was also noteworthy with two interceptions and limiting penalty yards to just 80.

The following week saw another win for the Rebels as they outscored Utah State's Aggies by ten points (34-24). The offense was slightly less productive with 320 total yards but still managed to maintain possession for nearly 34 minutes. Impressively, the defense stepped up with five interceptions and kept penalties down to seven for just 75 yards.

However, consistency is key, and that's where UNLV has struggled. In a dominant performance against North Texas' Mean Green earlier in the season, they racked up an impressive score of 58-27. They amassed a staggering total of 576 yards while controlling the game clock significantly longer than their opponents.

Despite these strong showings in previous matches, it seems that when faced with tougher opposition like San Jose State Spartans recently, UNLV struggles to replicate such form – managing only seven points on offense while conceding forty points on defense.

Fans should expect an intense battle as both teams strive to assert dominance early on. The venue itself may play a role; playing away from home at CEFCU Stadium could be challenging given its vibrant atmosphere known to energize home team supporters.

The upcoming game is scheduled for October 8th at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, California. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network starting at 02:30 AM UTC (October 8th).
