Utah State vs UNLV Prediction

I’ll probably stay with UNLV. The Rebels posted 354 total yards (227 passing) and 7.1 yards per play during their close OT loss to Syracuse. The defense had trouble getting off the field though, as the Orange accumulated 39:38 in time of possession, 492 yards (355 passing), 34 first downs and 11-of-18 on third-down tries. The nine UNLV penalties for 108 yards didn’t help either.

As for Utah State, they had a nice offensive outing (507 total yards) in their matchup with Boise State. The Aggies also gave up 599 yards (296 rushing), 8.1 yards per play and 27 first downs on the other side, though. That makes 38 or more points surrendered in four straight Games. UNLV should have ample opportunities here.
