EWU can pick the Rebels apart through the air if they don’t.2. The Rebels got picked on by both Carson Strong and Nick Starkel last fall and while Eric Barriere may not have the same immediate name recognition, the Walton Payton Award runner-up is plenty capable of doing damage.A preseason All-American and the Big Sky’s pick as preseason offensive player of the year, Barriere has proven he can shoulder a heavy workload, averaging 42.2 pass attempts per game and 8.2 yards per attempt with 19 touchdowns in seven spring football games earlier this year.The new trio of expected contributors at defensive end, transfers Connor Murphy and Kylan Wilborn and highly touted freshman Leshaun Bell, will need to generate consistent pressure since both Adam Plant and Jacoby Windmon could be further from the line of scrimmage more often and, well, can’t do it all themselves. Don’t let Eric Barriere get into a rhythm.One element of the game that could devolve into a serious mismatch will depend on how much UNLV has fixed last year’s issues with defending against the pass.

San Jose Sharks 3D Pregame Full Yards In
PredictionIn spite of the lingering uncertainty at quarterback, UNLV should be prepared to match the dangerous Eagles after a normal off-season to prepare for this game and beyond. That average dropped by nearly two full yards in 2020 but against an explosive EWU offense, don’t be shocked if they utilize Williams to set a tone. That’s when Williams has received the lion’s share of carries in his career and been most productive, especially in 20 when he averaged a combined 6.17 yards per carry across the two seasons. The only question is from where the improvement will come.One possibility? Set a tone on first down. Get the Chuck Wagon some early momentum.Statistically, Charles Williams had a down year in 2020 but there’s every reason to give him a mulligan and believe both he and the offensive line will rebound. When garbage time is filtered out, UNLV’s average third-down distance was 7.93 yards, which ranked 116th in the country.Some of that challenge was offset by Marcus Arroyo’s willingness to go for it on fourth down — they converted 10-of-15 tries in six games — but winning more often on early downs, especially if they can get improved play from whomever is under center, will be critical.3.
