How they match up
QUARTERBACK: Edge UNLV
There are similarities here. Last week, Armani Rogers had 179 total yards while Kai Locksley had 170. The sophomore Rogers has a little more experience at this level.
OFFENSIVE LINE: Edge UNLV
Better days are ahead for UTEP here, but they are young and inexperienced at this moment. Four of the Rebels' five starters are upperclassmen.
RUNNING BACKS: Edge UNLV
UNLV star Lexington Thomas, who rushed for 1,336 yards last year, is 12th in the nation at 9.
