COLLEGE FOOTBALL -- October 7

NEVADA at UNLV -- Nevada has decisively taken care of the Rebels the last five years, but now UNLV well-equipped for revenge. And highly motivated for it as well - UNLV players won't forget the beer dousing they took from Nevada fans after Wolf Pack's 26-12 victory. How good is Jason Thomas? Well, the USC transfer was touted as an All-Mountain West quarterback in several pre-season publications, without even playing a down. And he's lived up to expectations, sitting fifth in NCAA passing efficiency ratings and rushing for 269 yards (leads team). Thomas has thrown only 19 times a game, but John Robinson likely to turn the super soph loose against this hated rival. Nevada brought back only six starters from last season, and it has showed. They are being destroyed at the line of scrimmage, averaging just 1.8 yards per rush while giving up a robust 5.6 yards per carry. So one must wonder how they're going to keep Thomas off the field. UNLV defense shut down Air Force and is coming on, especially in the secondary (151 average yards allowed last three games). THE PLAY: UNLV ***
