UNLV Coach Dan Mullen's Perspective
UNLV football coach Dan Mullen appeared serious during his Monday press conference, reflecting on the team's recent 40-35 home loss to New Mexico. Despite allowing 532 yards and missed tackles, Mullen is more focused on the Rebels’ missed opportunity to win late in the game.
“That hurts, as a team,” Mullen said. “It’s our focus to get back into making sure we’re performing better, and when we have opportunities to make things happen, to win games, we’re doing things to win games.”
The Rebels managed to narrow the Lobos’ lead to one point with just over six minutes remaining, but allowing a touchdown three minutes before the end and failing to capitalize on their last offensive drive cost them the game.
Season Outlook and Team Focus
Mullen emphasized that there is still much football left in the season. The Rebels, currently 6-2 overall and 2-2 in Mountain West Conference play, aim to maintain their pursuit of the conference title by securing a win against Colorado State.
Key Player: Anthony Colandrea
Quarterback Anthony Colandrea remains one of the top signal callers in the Mountain West. In the previous game versus New Mexico, he completed 36 of 46 passes for 382 yards and three touchdowns, highlighting his importance to UNLV's offense.
