SATURDAY'S PREVIEW...
UNLV (0-2/0-2) plays its first day game of the season when it hosts Fresno State (1-1/1-1) Saturday at Allegiant Stadium ... Last week the Rebels debuted at their new home by falling to in-state rival UNR 37-19 while the Bulldogs, who are this week hitting the road for the first time in 2020, downed Colorado State 38-17 on Thursday ... UNLV looks to win its first game under new head coach Marcus Arroyo who was hired by UNLV in December after helping Oregon win the Pac-12 Championship (and then Rose Bowl) as offensive coordinator ... Allegiant Stadium is the fourth home of UNLV football (and the closest to campus at three miles away) ... The Rebels downed St. Mary's in their inaugural home game played at old Cashman Field in 1968; won their first game at Butcher Memorial Field vs. Southern Utah in 1970; and lost to Weber State in mid-season 1971 when opening up Sam Boyd Stadium (then known as Las Vegas Stadium), which became the program's home for the next half-century.

LIMITED FANS APPROVED FOR FIRST TWO GAMES...
UNLV Athletics' plan to allow a limited number of fans at its home football games at Allegiant Stadium was approved for the first two games by the Southern Nevada Health District as well as the state of Nevada's department of Business & Industry on Oct. 23. Although the Governor's directive for gatherings at stadiums does allow for up to 10% capacity, to comply with restrictions requiring independent section zones of 250 people or less, separated by at least 25 feet that operate and function separately without attendees leaving their zones, UNLV is limited to 3% of capacity which equates to 2,000 patrons. Game attendees must be screened upon entry, be required to wear face coverings and maintain social distance, and follow other health and safety protocols. Plans for games that occur after November 14 must be resubmitted.
