UNLV Football has officially entered new territory. For the first time in program history, the Rebels have secured a spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, breaking into the ranking at a super exciting time. Spirits are so high after an emotional week and a huge win, beating Fresno State 59-14. Sitting at a 4-0 record, this is such a huge milestone for both the team and Rebel fans! 

As UNLV gets ready for another game there is no denying the excitement that is all over Las Vegas right now surrounding the Rebels. They are proving the hard work and staying mentally strong is paying off. 

This Friday, UNLV will face the Syracuse Orangemen. Syracuse, currently at 3-1 only losing to Stanford by 2 points should be a good game! But hopefully, the Rebels will be riding the wave of momentum and prove their newly earned Top 25 spot. 

Their 4-0 record is no accident. Head Coach Barry Odom has emphasized discipline and confidence this whole year.

For fans and the team, this is more than just a game... it's a statement. This Friday will be an opportunity to watch the Rebels cement their place on the national stage. Not the underdogs anymore! UNLV is proving they belong with the best, and their debut in the AP Top 25 shows that.

Allegiant Stadium will be packed as the Rebels look to keep their undefeated streak alive. The atmosphere in Las Vegas will be electric looking to add another win to the season! Get your tickets here.

Whether you’re a lifelong Rebels supporter or a casual fan caught up in this season’s magic, Friday night is set to be a game you won't want to miss. This is just the beginning for UNLV Football, and the journey ahead looks like it could be one for the history books.
