Can UNLV Looks to Build On Last Season?

UNLV Football

UNLV had success last season and they have confidence heading into this game. Last season UNLV’s offense averaged 34.4 points per game, and they are going to need that offense to continue the same type of success here. The big question for UNLV heading into this game is who is going to start under center. As of Monday UNLV still hadn’t announced a starter for this game. Matthew Sluka was the patriot league player of the year last year, and he has a chance to be the starter this season. Running back Jai’Den Thomas found the end zone 12 times last season and is going to be the top running back again this year.


So, UNLV's defense has seven starters returning from last year, and one of them is linebacker Jackson Woodford, who's pretty solid on defense. Cameron Oliver is the key player on defense, and he'll have to step up to shut down Houston's passing game. After this match, UNLV will face off against Utah Tech and Kansas.

Facts that say UNLV could Beat Houston

  • UNLV has won four of its last five road games against non-AP-ranked teams.

  • Houston has lost each of its last three games.

  • UNLV has covered the spread in 16 of its last 17 road games against non-conference opponents.

  • Houston has failed to cover the spread in nine of its last 12 games as a favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.

Can Houston Has Bounce Back this Year

Houston College Football

Houston had a bad season last year finishing with a 4-8 record overall but they hope this year is going to be better. The bad record was enough for head coach Dana Holgorseon and in steps Willie Fritz to take over the job. The good news for Fritz is it looks like he has a good quarterback on paper. Donovan Smith is already being mentioned near the top of many NFL draft boards, and they are going to need him to have a big game here and a big season overall. Michigan State tight end Maliq Carr did come in and there is an expectation that he has a big season.


So, like, Houston's defense has tons of question marks, which could be a major weak spot for the team. Last season, the defense had a tough time stopping opponents, and not much has been done in the offseason to make it better.

The Facts That say Houston Could Beat UNLV

  • UNLV has lost each of its last six road openers as an underdog.

  • Houston has won four of its last five games against non-conference opponents.

  • UNLV has failed to cover the spread in each of its last three games against non-AP-ranked teams.


The UNLV vs Houston Game Prediction

UNLV Football

The Pick: UNLV / Houston Over 56.5

UNLV and Houston are totally gonna go all out and score a bunch of points. Donovan Smith is a solid quarterback and he's gonna crush it against UNLV's defense. But man, I'm not so sure about Houston's defense. Whoever's playing quarterback for UNLV is gonna have a field day. It's gonna be a high-scoring game with not much defense on either side, I feel a total shootout vibe. Bet on the over!
