SATURDAY'S PREVIEW...
Undefeated UNLV (3-0), which continued to receive votes in both the AP and Coaches' polls, closes its non-conference schedule with a first-ever meeting with Miami University (0-2) ... After beating the Bengals, Bearkats and Bruins so far, the Rebels will face the RedHawks from the Mid-American Conference ... Both teams enjoyed a bye last weekend ... UNLV has never defeated every non-conference opponent on its schedule since first joining a league in 1982 ... Head coach Dan Mullen's team is coming off its first-ever victory over UCLA, 30-23, before the third-biggest crowd for a Rebel game at Allegiant Stadium (36,117) ... Mullen is the first UNLV coach to start his career in Las Vegas 3-0 since Tony Knap started 4-0 in 1976 ... UNLV posted its fourth win since the beginning of last season against schools from the ACC, Big Ten and Big 12. That's the most wins by any program other than Notre Dame against those three conferences by a non-conference opponent in that time ... In fact, since the start of 2023, the Rebels have earned six wins over teams that were part of P5 leagues at the time of the meeting after having only one such victory in the previous 14 seasons ... UNLV has won five straight road games against non-MW teams, the longest such win streak in MW history ... DB Aamaris Brown is tied with four other players for the national lead in interceptions with three (he has one in all three games) ... UNLV has scored at least 20 points in each of its last 25 regular-season games. That's the second-longest active such streak in the FBS, behind only Memphis (40 straight) ... With a second straight 3-0 start to the campaign (first time since 1973-74), the Rebels improved to 10-2 (83%) since the start of 2023 vs. non-conference opponents after going 19-45 (30%) during the previous 17 years since college football moved to a 12-game season in 2006. 

REBELS vs. REDHAWKS NOTES... 
UNLV has played six teams who currently make up the MAC and hold a 7-10 mark (3-2 vs. CMU, 2-1 vs. Toledo, 1-1 vs. EMU, 1-0 vs. Ohio, 0-1 vs. Akron and 0-5 vs. future MW member NIU) ... This is only the fourth time UNLV will play in the state of Ohio ... The Rebels last played in the Buckeye state against -- the Buckeyes (54-21 loss at Ohio State in 2017) ... UNLV will return to the state next season with a trip to Akron to start a home-and-home with the Zips ... Miami is scheduled to return the game at Allegiant Stadium on Sept. 18, 2032.
