UNLV fans might be chilling after the Idaho State win, but let’s be honest, it wasn’t the best way to kick off the Dan Mullen era. The fact that the Rebels had to push hard to win 38-31 despite being 30-point favorites says a lot about how much work is still left on both sides of the ball. They will now travel to Houston to play Sam Houston under the Friday night lights in what is going to be their first true test of the season.

Meanwhile, Sam Houston is working on their own story of redemption. The Bearkats and WKU faced off neck and neck initially for 3 quarters before they ultimately lost to them 41-24. With Sam Houston in the comfort of their home, this one seems to be a must-win, and they should be ready to give it their all because it will be their only home game until October 9.
