The UNLV Rebels watched the action from their couches last weekend, but are set to take to the field. They will take on the California Golden Bears at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday at FTX Field at California Memorial Stadium. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
UNLV ran circles around the Idaho State Bengals two weeks ago, and the extra yardage (554 yards vs. 238 yards) paid off. The Rebels blew past Idaho State 52-21. The team accrued 45 points in the first half and coasted on those for the win.
Meanwhile, everything went California's way against the UC Davis Aggies last week as they made off with a 34-13 victory. California's RB Jaydn Ott was one of the most active players for the squad, picking up 104 yards on the ground on 17 carries in addition to snatching one receiving TD.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. With both UNLV and California swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
