After a heartbreaking loss in College Station, the UCLA Football team returns home to face an emerging UNLV Rebels squad that looks to improve on three wins from last season.

Last year, the UCLA Football team and their fans ventured into the Nevada desert for a party, of sorts, in one of the more entertaining games on their 2015 schedule.

It was definitely entertaining for the Bruin fans as UCLA came away from Las Vegas with a 37-3 victory. The storyline is different this season.

The UCLA Football team, unlike last year, is 0-1 going into their game against UNLV. Though it should be an exuberant affair returning to the Rose Bowl, there is some rigidity with this return home.

The UCLA Football team and their fans will be going into this game looking for a win (or demanding it, based on who you talk to). The Bruins will be looking to right the wrongs of the previous week’s foleys and get back on track to winning.

Unfortunately, there is going to be a tenacious squad from UNLV that is looking to hold off a victory in the Bruin’s home opener.

"Did you know: UNLV has only been around since 1957. The football program was not conceived until 1968."
