The news
Boyd’s possible return reshapes the line
Austin Boyd returned to practice during the week but remains questionable. Griffin Scroggs and BJ Tolo have contributed while Boyd has been out, and the latest depth chart lists Boyd as the first-choice center.
Availability affects both sides of the ball
The availability report lists multiple Rebels as questionable, including receiver Kayden McGee and defensive end Lucas Conti; DeAngelo Irvin Jr., Quandarius Keyes and Tre Fulton are among those out for the game. The projected chart lists backups behind several unavailable starters, so the final lineup remains unsettled.
Arnold’s production amid uneven results
Jackson Arnold accounted for five touchdowns in the win over California.

The full read on the Rebels
Written Sat Oct 31, before the Huskies game.
Season so far
UNLV is 4-3, including a 2-1 record at home and 2-2 on the road. The Rebels have wins over Hawaii, Akron, California and North Dakota State, with losses to Memphis, North Texas and Air Force. They scored 39 against California and 13 against North Dakota State; Air Force ran for 430 yards in its win over UNLV.
The read
UNLV returns from its open week at 4-3, with a 2-1 home record and a 2-2 road record. Its latest game was a 31-41 loss at Air Force. That followed home wins of 13-7 over North Dakota State and 39-31 over California. Those wins came after a 38-10 victory at Akron.
Jackson Arnold remains the listed starting quarterback for Dan Mullen. He accounted for five touchdowns against California, scoring through the air and on the ground. UNLV allowed 430 rushing yards in that loss. Its defense intercepted three passes against North Dakota State.
Availability is the main roster issue before Northern Illinois. Austin Boyd has resumed practice, but he remains questionable. Griffin Scroggs and BJ Tolo have contributed while the offensive line has been short-handed. Tre Fulton and Quandarius Keyes are out, while Lucas Conti and several offensive players remain questionable. The published depth chart is not a confirmed game-day lineup.
Mullen is also discussing playing roles, financial needs and possible moves with his players. His latest comments described individual retention conversations, not a named departure or signing. Tonight brings UNLV back to Allegiant Stadium against the 0-6 Huskies at 9:30 PM CT.
