Exactly one month before the earliest game in UNLV football history, the 2025 squad hit Rebel Park under first-year head Dan Mullen enjoying below-average temperatures. In fact, the earliest practice in program history was held Wednesday in what was the coolest conditions for a camp opener anyone could remember. Following a two-and-a-half hour, helmets-only session, Mullen told the media on hand that he was impressed.
“I thought we had great energy. Shows the leadership of this team. Our guys love football. They come out here loving to play. Great team atmosphere. I was pleased.
“Day one installation for us. You want to see the retention of where we left in spring (practice). I think we may be slightly ahead of where we left off, which shows all of the work these guys have put in over the summer – studying, prepping, getting ready to go. I was pleased with that. A lot of the football stuff is hard to see without pads but the effort and retention of what we’re trying to learn offensively and defensively was really good.”
