Stephen Nover's Total of the Week
(NCAAF) UNLV vs. San Diego State,
Total: 53.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Before getting upset by South Alabama, San Diego State had scored 45 points on Cal and 42 on Northern Illinois. The Aztecs have proven they can pile up points against suspect defenses. UNLV ranks 84th in scoring defense allowing 30.4 points a game.

The Aztecs have the nation's leading rusher, Donnel Pumphrey, and are in a foul mood after having their 13-game winning streak ended. San Diego State's offensive coordinator is Jeff Horton, who was once UNLV's head coach. Bobby Hauck is San Diego State's special teams coach. He also is a former head man at UNLV. So expect those coaches to come up with effective offensive designs.

UNLV has a solid ground attack, too. The Rebels have rushed for 364 yards in each of their last two games and found a quarterback last week in Dalton Sneed. Sneed looked like Doug Flutie in his first start leading the Rebels to a 45-20 victory against Fresno State.
