Dan Mullen is already being linked to the Maryland head coaching vacancy. But is leaving UNLV for a struggling Big Ten program actually worth it? On today's Rebel Daily Drive, Mike Cooper breaks down Maryland's coaching search, Mullen's future at UNLV, the financial differences between the programs, and why staying in Las Vegas could put Mullen in a better position for his next opportunity. Plus,...

UNLV took a 24-20 lead into the fourth quarter against Air Force. Then everything fell apart. The Falcons scored three fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns and beat the Rebels 41-31, finishing with 430 rushing yards on 62 attempts. Air Force threw just three passes all night. UNLV knew what was coming and still could not stop it. That is where this Rebel Daily Drive starts. We break down why Air Forc...

Dan Mullen previews UNLV’s road matchup with Air Force after the Rebels’ 13-7 win over North Dakota State. Mullen discusses why UNLV leaned heavily on the run in the second half against NDSU, defending Air Force’s option offense, Andre Porter’s development, Austin Boyd’s recovery and the continued growth of UNLV’s young defense. Jet Thomas and Kamuela Ka'aihue also meet with the media ahead of the...

UNLV beat previously undefeated North Dakota State 13-7, but this was one of the strangest wins of the season. The Rebels did not score an offensive touchdown. Instead, Paul Guenther’s defense carried the night, forcing Nathan Hayes into three interceptions, producing Andre Porter’s early pick-six and repeatedly winning the short-yardage situations that North Dakota State normally controls. UNLV h...

UNLV opened exhibition play with an 89-79 loss to Utah, but there was plenty to take away from Josh Pastner’s shorthanded group. Darrell breaks down the Rebels’ 45-37 rebounding advantage, the 18 turnovers, poor free-throw shooting and a point-guard performance Pastner said needs to improve. Sebastian Mack led UNLV with 25 points, while MJ Thomas was active on the glass. Freshman Jackson Kiss show...

Yeah. For a full press conference upload, the description should be much simpler. You do not need to recap the whole game in it. Use this: UNLV head coach Dan Mullen, Jackson Arnold and Andre Porter speak after the Rebels’ 13-7 win over North Dakota State at Allegiant Stadium. Mullen discusses UNLV’s defensive performance, the offense’s red-zone issues, Jet Thomas, the physicality of the matchup a...

North Dakota State comes to Allegiant Stadium 5-0, 2-0 in Mountain West play and allowing only 49 points through five games. UNLV is 3-2 after back-to-back wins over Akron and Cal. This is the matchup that should tell us a lot about both teams. North Dakota State is disciplined, physical, well coached and has already forced 11 turnovers. The schedule has not tested the Bison the same way UNLV shou...

UNLV is coming off its biggest win of the season against Cal, but Dan Mullen made it clear Monday that the challenge gets even harder with undefeated North Dakota State coming to Allegiant Stadium for Homecoming. Mullen called NDSU one of the best teams UNLV will face this season and said he does not see an obvious weakness. The Bison have one of the top defenses in the country, one of the most ef...

UNLV picked up a major home win over Cal, and Dan Mullen’s biggest takeaway afterward was the toughness his team showed when the game turned against it. The Rebels built momentum, watched Cal erase it and take the lead in the second half, then responded instead of letting the game get away. Mullen repeatedly came back to the way UNLV handled the swings of the game, especially with both teams deali...

UNLV is finally back at Allegiant Stadium, and Saturday against Cal should tell us much more about whether the Rebels actually changed during the bye week. Both teams enter 2-2, and both have spent the last week trying to make life easier on their quarterback. UNLV already went through that process after the 44-6 loss at North Texas and showed real improvement in a 38-10 win over Akron. Cal is doi...

UNLV needed a response after the 44-6 loss at North Texas, and the Rebels finally gave us one. The 38-10 win over Akron got UNLV back to 2-2, but the final score does not tell the entire story. Akron moved the ball in the first half, UNLV still committed too many penalties and there are still questions around Jackson Arnold, the intermediate passing game, tackling and Alex Orji’s role. But the Reb...

Basketball season is here, and we finally got our first real look at Josh Pastner’s second UNLV team. The biggest takeaway from practice was how closely this roster matches the way Pastner wants UNLV to play. He wants the Runnin’ Rebels to run, pressure the ball for 94 feet, make opponents uncomfortable before they can get into their offense and turn rebounds and turnovers into transition opportun...

Mullen said UNLV needs to develop more toughness and an edge while continuing to improve its fundamentals. The Rebels are using the bye week to focus on turnovers, tackling, individual technique and the consistency that disappeared during the 44-6 loss at North Texas. Mullen also d...

Has Dan Mullen already failed at UNLV? After a 1-2 start and a 44-6 loss at North Texas, that question has started following the Rebels into their bye week. On this episode of Rebel Daily Drive, Mike Cooper explains why the answer is no, but also why “it’s only been three games” cannot excuse everything. UNLV entered the season expecting to compete for the Mountain West championship and push into...

UNLV-North Texas is here. On this episode of Rebel Daily Drive, Mike Cooper puts together the full pregame show after a week of coverage on the Rebels and Mean Green. UNLV enters 1-1 after responding to the Memphis loss with a 21-6 win at Hawaii. North Texas enters 0-1 after a 52-16 loss to Indiana, but the final score did not tell the full story. The Mean Green outgained Indiana, ran 21 more offe...

On this episode of Rebel Daily Drive, Mike Cooper and Michael Matsumoto break down UNLV’s 21-6 win over Hawaii, the Rebels’ move to 1-1 overall and 1-0 in Mountain West play, and why the final score only tells part of what changed.

Rebel Daily Drive previews UNLV’s road matchup against Hawaii after the Rebels’ 27-21 Week 0 loss to Memphis. Mike Cooper opens the show by resetting where UNLV stands after the Memphis loss, why the College Football Playoff path got harder but is not dead, and why winning the Mountain West remains the main goal.

Mike Cooper recaps UNLV’s 27-21 Week 0 loss to Memphis on Rebel Daily Drive. The Rebels had chances to win at Allegiant Stadium, but red zone misses, a missed field goal before halftime, fourth-quarter pressure and explosive plays allowed gave Memphis enough room to leave Las Vegas with the win. Jackson Arnold’s UNLV debut was one of the biggest positives. Arnold threw for 291 yards and two touchd...
