There was one starter listed at every position except the most important one on UNLV’s post-spring, two-deep depth chart released Thursday by the Rebels.

Johnny Stanton and Kurt Palandech were both listed as the starting quarterback, although second-year UNLV coach Tony Sanchez said Stanton has a slight edge in the competition.

“Stanton’s a little bit ahead. That’s why we gave him the start in the (spring) game, just for his ability to be a natural thrower,” Sanchez said.
