00:00So, the Dan Mullen era in UNLV in Vegas begins, so I don't think there's any question that if you're looking for maybe an over for a team win total, I think he's going to try and score as many points as he can on Idaho State.
00:14But here's the deal, as has always been, Bill. UNLV just doesn't play defense on football. They just don't. And so they tend to give up a lot of points. The total is 65 and a half, which really tells you everything you need to know, that the Rebels are going to score some points,
00:29but so is Idaho State. Is this a line where you would lay 26 and a half, or do you like something else here?
00:35Well, right there, I think that feels like 45 to 21, something like that. And the flash factor with Dan Mullen is very real.
00:42A couple things to look for long-term with the Rebels over the next two weeks. If they show something here and put up a bunch of points, like you say, and I believe that's what they'll do,
00:52and then Boise State turns around and loses on Thursday night somehow to South Florida, which isn't out of the realm of the possibility.
00:58That's a tricky opener. The whole group of five playoff outlook is going to shake up a lot.
01:03And UNLV, who is already a team that a lot of people are picking, could jump up and become kind of that group of five favorite around Dan Mullen.
01:12And I do know when you watch this game Saturday, there's going to be like, oh, yeah, that guy.
01:17You know, Alex Orji, Michigan quarterback. Vontaze Berfic on the sideline.
01:21They've got a who's who of transfer players on that roster.
