LAS VEGAS - UNLV football opened up the final week of spring football with under sunny skies that changed to partly cloudy with chilly winds as practice 12 ended following nearly two-and-a-half hours of drills and team work at Rebel Park.
Rebel head coach Bobby Hauck had mixed reviews following the end of practice as the team nears the end of its first spring session under the new head man. The first half of today's session was focused as usual on position drills, while the second half was more team oriented stuff, including a lot of 11-on-11 drills during the final portion of practice.
"Today's practice was just ok," Hauck said. "We came out a little flat during the first part of practice but picked it up during team play."
REVIEW OF THE TAPE
Hauck and his staff watched the tape from the Rebels' second full scrimmage of the spring, and as the saying goes, the tape does not lie. It appeared from the sidelines that the offense turned in a solid effort during Friday's scrimmage, and Hauck verified that on Monday.
"The offense got the best of the defense," Hauck said. "It was a solid scrimmage and we got a lot of plays in. We have a ways to go as a team, but I like what is going on and the work the team is putting in."
BBQ WITH THE REBELS
