He also threw a pick 6 on the Defensive goal line that went viral on UNLV social media yesterday.
We are in the time of year where everyone is trying to extrapolate and project from 10 second camp clips (guilty) while waiting for any primary well sourced information.

I had a real hard time seeing who the qb was...could you make it out to be Sluka or are you repeating what a few people on social media concluded?

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t Matt.

It 100% was. Someone freeze framed it and you could see the QB with the #3 jersey.

Must be a different clip than what I'm looking at on Instagram.

My eyes are just too slow I guess...I can't see more than what I thought might have been QB's arm (and FWIW, if it was even an arm I saw and it was the QB, it wasn't Matt)...even stared at the runback to see if the QB ever entered the frame, didn't seem to.
On the bright side, seems to be first string (I believe Ricky White is on the right side [from offensive perspective])...seems all qb's are getting snaps with all teams, but nice if Matt had first string on a day they were indoors.

Same here lou, can you post the text? Thanks! UNLV What in the name of Randall Cunningham? (Or Stacey Augmon?) Actually, it’s in the name of Barry Odom, who was a very good defensive coordinator at Missouri and less of a good head coach there but has found his level out west. UNLV was picked second in the Mountain West, and the only big question is how it will replace quarterback Jayden Maiava, who transferred to USC (after first committing to Georgia). That matter does need to be resolved quickly because three early nonconference games will be pivotal to any CFP hopes: at Houston, at Kansas, home against Syracuse. It’ll be tough, but UNLV making the first expanded CFP would be a great story. — Seth Emerson If the Rebels can figure out how to replace Maiava, they are going to be dangerous. The Rebels reached the Mountain West championship game in Odom’s first season, and his team has a ton of talent surrounding the quarterback. But we all know how important quarterbacks are in college football. —

If I’m Odom, I don’t say a damn thing and I tell the team nothing leaks out of the meeting room. I make Houston guess till the first snap and I say nothing about strategy on whether 1 or more will play per scheme / situation / game plan. Media and fans can wait.
“It shouldn’t surprise anyone to see any of the three out there at any given point. I’ll just leave it at that.”

I’ll just leave it at that.” Agreed...Sluka's style is so different from the other two its worth leaving them guessing. Hell, since I suspect that if he isn't the starter Sluka still gets a handful of snaps every game, why not start him even if he isn't your "starter" just to really throw Houston off. They only have this advantage in week 1, why not use it?

Ran into a former student of mine and his dad ('94) on the course. The kid always either had a Titleist hat with our school logo on the side or an HC football hat. Today he has a scarlet UNLV hat. He thinks if Sluka isn't the starter he will be by the end of the year and his broken play ability will lead them over Boise for the MWC and an upset in the first round of the CFP. We'll see!

Not related to Matthew, but I find it interesting that the other top FCS qb from New England, Max Brosmer from UNH has won the qb job at Minnesota - a bigger jump from the CAA to the Big Ten. Should add that Eckaus (sp?) from Bryant is at Washington St. this season.

Brosmer was very highly sought after early in the transfer portal recruiting process. Pretty sure Minnesota dropped their pants NIL-wise to get him.
