LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Despite Wednesday morning being hot and sunny at the Fertitta Football Complex, UNLV new head football coach Dan Mullen put it plain and simple — summer's over, it's time for fall camp, getting in on the fun with his team during warm ups.

“I have to make sure I’m ready to go for practice," Mullen laughed. "I don’t mind getting some warm ups in, I probably should do it more right, the new video game, I was looking kind of buff so I have to get in a little bit of better shape I think right now.”
That standard has been set from the top down.
“We're brothers," Rebels running back Jai’Den Thomas said. "We're all going to grind together, we're all going to work together, we're going to fight, we want to win the championship bad, so we’re just hungry.”
The Rebels are exactly one month away from kicking off their season at Allegiant Stadium against Idaho State.
