UNLV vs. Colorado State Prediction, Betting Odds & How To Watch
UNLV football coach Dan Mullen appeared serious and focused during his Monday press conference. The usual humor and smiles were missing as he reflected on the Rebels’ recent 40-35 home loss to New Mexico.
Coach Mullen’s Reflections on the Game
The 21-point deficit his team faced isn't troubling Mullen as much as the missed opportunity to win late in the game. Although the defense gave up 532 yards and several missed tackles, what bothers him most is the team’s failure to capitalize in the final moments.
“That hurts, as a team,” Mullen said. “It’s our focus to get back into making sure we’re performing better, and when we have opportunities to make things happen, to win games, we’re doing things to win games.”
UNLV fought back to narrow the lead to one point with over six minutes remaining, but a touchdown run allowed by the defense at 2:54 left, and the offense’s missed scoring chance, sealed their fate.
