Jake Rudock was 14 of 22 for 123 yards with a TD and an interception in a lackluster performance.

UNLV didn’t cross midfield until the final play of the first half when fullback George Naufahu ran 18 yards to the Michigan 49.

UNLV is still looking for its first win after losses to both Northern Illinois and UCLA. In a 24-17 loss at Utah, he threw for 279 yards but had two touchdowns against three interceptions.

Michigan has had success against teams from the Mountain West Conference in the past with the Wolverines sporting a 4-1 record against the conference since 1999.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Harbaugh has drawn a lot of attention, coming back to Michigan after playing quarterback there, and yet he has noticed and admired the climb to college coaching that UNLV’s Tony Sanchez has taken.

At 0-3, the Rebels are right where almost everyone outside their own locker room expected them to be.
