LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - Hot sun and high temps greeted the UNLV football team as it turned in a two-hour Friday afternoon session at Rebel Park on campus.

The workout was a prelude to Saturday's first full-pads practice under new head coach Tony Sanchez, who said that the Rebels will do some team scrimmaging during the final 20 minutes of the practice. Things get started at 9 a.m. tomorrow and the public is invited to attend as UNLV closes its first week of spring drills.

SPRING SLATE

UNLV is scheduled to work out for approximately two hours, four days a week (except one) with 4 p.m. practices on Mondays and Wednesdays, 1 p.m. kickoffs on Fridays and 9 a.m. starts on a pair of Saturdays. The squad will take off for spring break during the week of March 30-April 3.

All practices are open to the public but viewing areas are restricted and no use of mobile communication devices will be allowed while at Rebel Park. Please note that times are subject to change.
