SATURDAY'S PREVIEW...
Playing at home for only the second time in 56 days, UNLV (6-1/2-1), hosts New Mexico (5-3/2-2) at high noon Saturday ... The Rebels continue to receive votes in the coaches' poll this week after coming off their third and final bye week ... The Scarlet & Gray have received at least one vote in either the AP or Coaches poll for a school-record 28 consecutive weeks dating back to the final edition of the 2023 season ... UNLV has earned bowl-eligibility for the third straight season for the first time ever and has six wins in the first seven games for the first time since 1984 ... UNLV, which is tied with BYU to lead all of college football with nine road wins since the start of last season, has also become a force at home, winning five straight at Allegiant Stadium and 13 of its last 17 outings in Las Vegas ... Head coach Dan Mullen's was the first UNLV coach to begin his career in Las Vegas 6-0 since the program's inaugural season of 1968 when original coach Bill Ireland started 8-0 on the Division II level ... UNLV is tied for the sixth-most overall turnovers gained in the nation with 16 as well as third in turnover margin at plus-10 ... Since falling 35-7 at eventual national champion Michigan in the second game of 2023, UNLV has scored at least 20 points in each of its last 29 regular-season games. That's the second-longest active such streak in the FBS, behind only Memphis (44 straight) ... The Rebels have also scored at least 30 points in their first seven games of the season to set the record for consecutive 30-point outings at the school. The previous mark was five in the middle of the 1974 season under future NFL coach Ron Meyer.
REBELS vs. LOBOS NOTES...
In these teams' most-recent meeting, UNLV's 56-14 win over UNM in Albuquerque in 2023 gave the Rebels a 15-12 all-time lead in the series ... The Rebels have taken nine of the last 12 vs. the Lobos and a win Saturday would give them four straight in the series for the first time ... This game will feature a father-son broadcast duo as current UNLV play-by-play man Matt Neverett heads over to call the action on TV while his dad and former radio voice of the Rebels, Tim Neverett, will do play-by-play on the radio after completing another season as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers announcing crew.
