A Friday night clash between the UNLV Rebels (2-0) and the Kansas Jayhawks (1-1) takes center stage in college football as these teams face off in a non-conference showdown. This matchup serves as a rematch from last year’s Guaranteed Rate Bowl, where Kansas emerged victorious, 49-36.
The Rebels are riding high at 2-0 this season. While they cruised past FCS opponent Utah Tech last week, their real statement came in the season opener. UNLV traveled to Houston and pulled off an impressive 27-7 upset victory, making a strong early-season impression.
Kansas, on the other hand, started the season ranked 19th but stumbled last week in their first real test. The Jayhawks traveled to Illinois as road favorites, holding a slim 17-13 lead in the third quarter. However, they were unable to hang on, giving up 10 unanswered points in a 23-17 defeat.

Kansas Jayhawks vs UNLV Rebels team news
Kansas Jayhawks team news
In Kansas’ loss to Illinois, quarterback Jalon Daniels managed to throw two touchdowns but was hindered by three costly interceptions. The junior quarterback, standing at 6'0, has the talent to be an All-Conference performer, though he’ll need to rebound from the rough outing. Daniels has already thrown four picks in just two games, dragging his QBR down to 35.8, placing him 102nd in the nation. A standout in 2022 as a Second Team All-Big 12 selection, he missed several games in 2023 due to a back injury.
The Jayhawks boast a proven weapon in the backfield with Devin Neal, who is on pace to become the school’s all-time leading rusher. At receiver, Luke Grimm has emerged as the top target, hauling in 15 catches for 151 yards and finding the end zone in both outings.
On defense, Kansas leans on its experienced secondary, particularly cornerbacks Mello Dotson and Cobee Bryant, two of the top returners in the Big 12. Leading the team in tackles is linebacker Cornell Wheeler, who has 13 stops on the season and has batted down two passes across the middle.
UNLV Rebels team news
Garrett Nussmeier has been the driving force behind LSU’s offense this season, amassing 606 passing yards, with eight touchdown passes, a lone interception, and a sharp 74.7% completion rate.
Kyren Lacy has been a pivotal piece in the Tigers’ aerial assault, racking up 159 receiving yards and finding the end zone four times on 12 receptions.
Aaron Anderson has also made his mark, hauling in 10 catches from 12 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown, adding another layer to LSU's dynamic passing game.
On the defensive side, Zavion Thomas has proven reliable, pulling in seven catches on eight targets for 73 yards and a score over two games.
Meanwhile, Savion Jones has bolstered the defense with six tackles, including one for loss, and two sacks in just two outings. Whit Weeks has been another standout on defense, tallying nine tackles and a tackle for loss, playing a crucial role in LSU's defensive efforts in 2024.
