2008 UNLV Football Preview:
Head Coach: Mike Sanford
The University of Nevada at Las Vegas Rebel football program has certainly struggled in recent years to compete in the Mountain West Conference (MWC), but things look like they may be turning around for the team. Rebels coach Mike Sanford is making some coaching changes and shaking things up in Las Vegas. He looks to use the experience he gained at Utah under coach Urban Meyer, before Meyer left to coach Florida to a national championship. Sam Boyd Stadium will rock this season as UNLV fans look for a big turnaround.
