LAS VEGAS - UNLV's football game vs. the University of Idaho on Sept. 18 has been selected to be televised by ESPNU and will kick off at 7:30 p.m. PT, the Western Athletic Conference announced.

The game is a return date from the Vandals' visit to Las Vegas in 2005 but the Rebels will head to Moscow, Idaho, for the first time since 1977. UNLV leads the all-time series 3-2.

Under new head coach Bobby Hauck, the Rebels will appear on television at least 11 times in 2010 with broadcast plans for two games - at Hawaii and at West Virginia - still to be determined by the host schools' TV partners.

The Idaho game will mark UNLV football's first appearance on a national ESPN channel since the Rebels played at Nevada, Reno on Sept. 17, 2005. That game was also shown by ESPNU.
