Finished the entire first year at UNLV. It was a really fun season and I was too enthralled with playing the game to be bothered with reporting. So here is a recap of the regular season starting from Week 4:

UNLV 45, Wyoming 42
This was a fight to the end. I tried to slow the game down, but couldn�t stop Wyoming from scoring. It took some really diligent clock management to finish out the game on top.

UNLV 49, South Alabama 30
We went into Mobile and learned that South Alabama came to play! They were actually ahead of us for a quarter and a half, but our defense finally broke them. We continued the run-heavy style and our pressure forced them to make mistakes and secure our win.

UNLV 35, Hawaii 7
Hawaii was having a really bad year (they finished 1-11) and this was never close. We imposed our will on defense and pounded them on the ground until it was over.

UNLV 35, Nevada 17
Another game that started off tough, but our defensive ends got into a groove early, causing multiple sacks and made this game easy for us.

UNLV 49, Fresno State 3
Another one that was barely a contest. It seemed like the Bulldogs took this game lightly. This time we won through the air instead of on the ground. Nick Sherry threw for over 400 yards, but no touchdowns, lol. We�ll take a blowout any way we can get it.

Boise State 38, UNLV 32
This was more lopsided a loss than the score indicates due to the garbage time points. We were outmatched and out-coached. Chris Peterson devised a scheme that kept 6 defenders in the box at all times, a front we hadn�t seen all year. In turn, the Broncos shut down every run we threw at them. Making us one-dimensional, the pressure on Nick was too great, and he threw 4 interceptions. I benched him for running threat Jared Lebowitz, who was able to lead a triple option attack late in the game. But it wasn�t enough.

UNLV 33, BYU 28
The interceptions continued for Sherry, and he was knocked out of the game in the fourth quarter. This time, junior Troy Hawthorne led us to the end. We recovered an onside kick and scored for the victory.

UNLV 35, Colorado State 17
The Rams started out super strong, and I felt like their quarterback was invincible. But a couple of key stops swayed the momentum in our favor. Our defensive ends Swanson and Blount were the stars of the game like many times before.

UNLV 39, San Diego State 36
The Aztecs were the pride of the West division, with a record of 10-1, and us having a record of 9-2 meant that whoever won this game would go to the Mountain West championship game. It was a tough one too. At one point, we were down 14-0. But we kept to what got us here and pounded away on the ground. First making it 14-7, then imposing our will on defense. And before we knew it, we were ahead. This fight continued until the final whistle, and somehow we were on top.

So that�s the recap of the regular season. Conference championship and Bowl game coming up next.
