REBELS WITHOUT A CAUSE

Vegas Baby, Vegas!!!! UNLV brings the bright lights, glitz and glamor to the ashtray where fans will either feel like they hit the jackpot on the Wheel of Fortune penny slots, or wake up hungover realizing that they just lost all their cash, and their girl, to Abgar the Armenian black jack dealer at Caesar's Palace. I hate you Abgar. Colorado State has an intriguing home game this week against the Running Rebels of Nevada-Las Vegas. This will be an interesting match up because UNLV is not very good. The have won only two conference games this year, but interestingly enough are the only squad to beat the Air Force Academy outside of being a ranked team or military institution. They also have played many a close game. Boise State is the only team to have completely dominated them. Looking at record alone would indicate that this is a winnable game, but again we are Colorado State and many of UNLV's strengths match up well with Colorado State's weaknesses. 

CSU v WYO POKES

Break out the Pokey helmet!

Bronze Boot time!

These two teams seem to be mirroring each other this season and this contest looks to be a tight match up. Here are some things I want to be carried over from our Aggie win against the Warriors.

Create turnovers: One stat that jumps out and worries me about the Cowboys is their passing yards. They average 236 yards per game (which isn't much but...)  judging how horrific our dbs have played this season, Brett Smith can easily reach the 300 yard mark. We need to contain Chris McNeill. The dude has over 500 yards receiving so far this season and needs to be doubled up. We also need create some turnovers like we did against Hawaii to tally a win. Those pick 6's are fun to watch.
