Rebels gearing up for Sanford's fourth preseason camp.

July 29, 2008

LAS VEGAS - Players will report to the Lied Athletic Complex this weekend as part of the opening of UNLV football's 2008 preseason camp - the fourth under head coach Mike Sanford.

After reporting on Sunday, the first week of practices (August 4-8) will take place on campus at Ernie Becker Sr. Football Fields at Bill "Wildcat" Morris Rebel Park and are open to the public in limited viewing areas.

On the initial day of a five-day acclimation schedule, the Rebel newcomers will hit the field first on Monday from approximately 10:10-11:40 a.m. The veterans will then take over from 6:00-8:05 p.m.

The next two days will see the squad split into two with the Scarlet Team practicing from 8:45-10:40 a.m. and the Gray Team from 6:00-7:55 p.m.

The full squad will practice once on Thursday, Aug. 7 from 8:45-10:40 a.m. and then again in full pads for the first time on Friday, Aug. 8 at that same time. Practices from Aug. 9-19 will be held at an off-campus location.

Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 20, and running through the season, all UNLV football practices are CLOSED to the public.

The Rebels open the 2008 season by hosting Utah State on Saturday, Aug. 30, at 7 p.m. PT.
