Doug Brumfield left the San Jose State game with a concussion. Cameron Friel passed for 108 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the last game.

Notre Dame fell apart at the end of the Stanford game. UNLV needs to keep it close and low scoring to have a chance at winning this game and Notre Dame will try to test UNL's secondary.
