Fee Fi Foe Film is back for another season with its most twisted concoction yet: full film breakdown of UNLV against Bryant. That's UNLV, a Mountain West program that has appeared in two bowl games in your author's lifetime (and just one in the past two decades), against Bryant, an FCS program that went 4-7 last season. The game was not on regular television but instead on Mountain West Network streaming. It was played in 65,000 seat Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and only 20,347 showed up for it. Why are you reading this? Because you're a SICK person. The Film: UNLV has played one game this season. It is against Bryant. Normally I don't do FCS games but the constraints are forcing us, it's week one. This is the only opponent. Also, because UNLV has a new coach and a totally different offensive scheme, I can't go back to last season and do a game. I did not want to have to do this game but here we are. One of the unfortunate consequences of having to do this game is the video quality, as you will see. The few highlight reel clips that made it into professional highlights will be embedded from YouTube. The rest I was left scrounging for from methods I don't typically enjoy, so my apologies on the video quality in my clips being rather rough... not even the Russians wanted to provide a usable torrent of UNLV/Bryant. The personnel: Return of The Chart. [click for big] UNLV returns a starting QB in Doug Brumfield, who was pretty good for a Group of 5 starter last season. I was disappointed by him in this game so he didn't get the star, but his caliber of play was commendable in 2022. Brumfield was the difference between catastrophe and competency for the entire UNLV team in the final season of Marcus Arroyo's regime, a lefty with solid passing ability and some sizzle on the ground too. He's the best non-con QB Michigan will play this season. RB is where things get interesting. Most of this piece will be centered around UNLV's GoGo Offense under new OC Brennan Marion so I have many more details to share, but the funky look of this chart reflects this scheme. The GoGo's base scheme has two RBs on the field so UNLV has no shortage of RB names, none of whom have differentiated themselves and they rotated heavily against Bryant. Donavyn Lester and Jai'Den Thomas are listed as the starters in the chart but Courtney Reese was also used heavily and Vincent Davis Jr. had a long TD run against Bryant. I expect all to play at least a dozen snaps against Michigan. Of that group, Thomas was the one I liked the most and he gets the lone star. UNLV running its GoGo does not use TEs heavily, so they were omitted from the starting lineup in the chart, as that reflects the base set. When they put a TE on the field, Kaleo Ballungay and Shelton Zion III were used equally heavily and I was not impressed whatsoever by either. Christian Earls is the third TE you may see. Instead of tight ends, UNLV prefers to go with two outside WRs and a slot. The two outside WRs were pretty stable against Bryant, Senika McKie and Ricky White. Yes, that Ricky White. Both players are fine but I did not feel they earned star status. Landon Rogers is the other outside WR who will mix in, while the slot is held down by an ex-JUCO Jacob De Jesus. At 5'7", 175, De Jesus is not a big boy but he's a nifty player and wowed as a particularly effective punt/kick returner. Timothy Conerly is the second-string slot. The offensive line did not impress me against Bryant and my baseline expectation is it will probably be a bloodbath against Michigan on Saturday. The right side of the line returns from last season, RG Amani Trigg-Wright and RT Tiger Shanks, the latter of whom put up a subpar showing against a bad opponent. C Jack Hasz is a transfer from Buffalo and seemed okay, besides two false starts (on the center!!). LT was slated to be Jalen St. John, but he did not play against Bryant and instead Anton Ambuehl got the start, a player who did not appear ready for that task. Finally Alani Makihele is the LG, but rotated out some with true freshman Ethan Boyd, who was woeful. As a general statement about the personnel, this team has no talent at all on offense. It's the scheme that's fun. [AFTER THE JUMP: GoGoGoGoGoGo]
