FRIDAY'S PREVIEW...
Hitting the road in conference play for the first time, UNLV (4-1/1-0) travels to Utah State (1-4/0-1) for its second consecutive Friday evening outing ... The game will be the first of five national TV appearances by the Rebels on CBS Sports Network this season ... UNLV dropped out of Sunday's AP Poll but is still receiving votes in the Coaches Poll ... The Rebels made their first-ever AP appearance at No. 25 last week and earned their first national ranking in the Coaches Poll on Sept. 15, moving up as high as No. 23 ... UNLV won its first four games this fall for the first time since 1984 ... UNLV is coming off a 44-41 overtime loss to visiting Syracuse while USU fell at Boise State, 62-30 ... With a win at Houston and a victory at Kansas, UNLV became the first non-conference team ever to have multiple road wins against Big 12 competition in the same season ... The 13 wins in 19 games under head coach Barry Odom represent the most victories over any two-season span since the Rebels went a combined 16-7-1 in 1984 and '85 ... With the August 31 victory at UH, Odom became the first UNLV coach to win his first two season-openers at the school since Tony Knap in 1976-77 ... The Rebels are 12-0 under Odom when leading after the third quarter ... UNLV is tied for third in the nation with a plus-eight turnover margin as the UNLV defense has forced at least one turnover in 18 of 19 games under DC Michael Scherer ... The Rebels have scored 44 total points off turnovers while allowing just seven such points from opponents ... UNLV returned two All-Americans for the first time in its history -- WR Ricky White III and KR/PR Jacob De Jesus. 

REBELS vs. AGGIES NOTES... 
Utah State leads this long-running series 18-8 ... This marks UNLV's second straight visit to Logan as the Rebels snapped a six-game losing skid to the Aggies in their last meeting in 2022 ... UNLV has never won two straight trips to USU ... These programs first staged a home-and-home series back in 1971 & '73 and later played 13 times as Big West Conference (originally PCAA) rivals from 1983-95 ... The Rebels and Aggies have played some of the closest contests in UNLV history as 12 of the 26 games were decided by a touchdown or less, including three by just one or two points ... UNLV lists two players from the state of Utah on its current roster: DL Waisale Muavesi from Provo's Timpview HS and OL Austin Boyd from Lehi HS ... UNLV second-year OL coach Vance Vice was an assistant at USU from 2005-08.
