Fresno State vs UNLV Game Preview

Why Fresno State Will Win

QB Jake Haener is back, and Fresno State is rolling again with four straight wins on the way to likely taking the Mountain West’s West title – it needs to win two of its last three games.

The passing game has gone off – even if it needed the final few seconds to work against San Diego State – and the defense has been solid enough against the run to overcome a shaky secondary.

The offense is good on third downs and has a way of bombing its way out of trouble. On the flip side, UNLV has one of the worst offenses in the nation on third downs and is on a four-game losing streak with the passing game sputtering.

However …

Why UNLV Will Win

The Rebels are back home.

They’ve dealt with road games in three of their last four games, are 1-4 away from Allegiant, and 3-1 at home. The competition has a whole lot to do with it, but the Rebel passing game is far, far sharper in its own house.

Fresno State might be playing well, but it’s giving up 200 yards or more passing yards on a regular basis, the offense is good for around two turnovers a game, and now it has to face an ultra-motivated team that needs this win to stay in the bowl hunt.

UNLV is creative enough to pull out all the stops and keep things moving, but …

What’s Going To Happen

The Rebel secondary will struggle late.

Fresno State will have a hard time pulling away – the first half will be entertaining – but Haener and the passing game will come through when absolutely needed in the last ten minutes.

UNLV will have its chances and will keep coming up just short.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Fresno State vs UNLV Game Preview


Why UNLV Will Win

How healthy is Jake Haener and how much is Fresno State basking in the glory of last Saturday night?

The Bulldogs pulled off the thrilling 40-37 win over UCLA on a heroic effort from Haener, who played through a banged up hip to get the win.

As good as they’ve been, they’ve turned it over 11 times in the first four games along with a whole slew of penalties. To have any chance of pulling this off, UNLV needs to generate a ton of mistakes and capitalize on all of them.

Week 4 College Football Expert Picks

Why Fresno State Will Win

UNLV isn’t doing much of anything right.

The passing attack can’t get going, the offense is averaging just 209 yards per outing, and simply moving the chains has been a chore.

To be fair, the  running game worked just fine in the loss to Eastern Washington, but playing Arizona State and Iowa State wasn’t easy – UNLV was playing out of its class.

Fresno State might be at that higher level, too, at least on offense. UNLV doesn’t have the firepower to keep up if and when Haener and company get going.

Week 4 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Give it a few early scoring drives and that will be about it.

UNLV just can’t find enough of a passing game to get going after Fresno State gets up fast.

It wants and needs to run the ball well, but the Bulldogs are allowing fewer than 100 yards per game. UNLV hasn’t hit the 100-yard passing mark in the last two games and has yet to pitch a TD pass.

Why Fresno State Will Win

It wasn’t perfect, but Fresno State played far better in its second game.

It lost to Hawaii in the opener because the defense didn’t do anything against the ground game. Against Colorado State, the passing game worked with Washington transfer Jake Haener going off with three touchdown passes, 311 yards, and after the problems in the opener, no picks.

UNLV just can’t move the ball. It didn’t do anything in the first half against San Diego State, and it couldn’t keep up against Nevada. The O line hasn’t been good enough, and there aren’t any third down conversions, hitting just 19% of its chances.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

Why UNLV Will Win

There was hope with the passing game under QB Max Gilliam against Nevada.

The passing game didn’t go anywhere against San Diego State, but Gilliam threw for 207 yards against Nevada with two touchdown passes. The Fresno State secondary hasn’t been anything special, the Rebels should be able to push for at least 250 yards, and at home, there should be an even more consistent effort.

The Bulldog D isn’t doing much on third downs, the run defense hasn’t been special, and the four turnovers in two games have been a problem. UNLV needs the help.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Fresno State has a good enough downfield passing attack that’s about to start clicking.

New head coach Kalen DeBoer has needed to tweak some things and it’s going to take a while to be more consistent, but his team will have the offense that UNLV won’t.
