“Run through a motherf—er’s face.”

Those were the words Scottre Humphrey’s late father made sure he’d never forget.

The story behind the mantra and the lasting impact Scott Humphrey Sr. left on his son amid an emotional week:

Does Jason Eck think RB Scottre Humphrey could be a potential Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year candidate?

"I think he is; I think he's playing at a high level. I don't think there's any quarterback who's necessarily running away with it."

Humphrey has 647 rushing yards and 13 TDs, which ties best for 7th in the country.

"I think he's in the mix...13 touchdowns, that's a lot of touchdowns...and we're only nine games in."

UNLV is giving up 207 rushing yards per game, the 8th-worst in the FBS — UNM is averaging 213 rushing yards per game, the 15th-best in the FBS.

Does Eck believe they'll have the upper hand on the ground this week?

"I think something we want to do every week is run the ball well. You know, statistically they haven't been the best; you know, I think they're actually a little bit better than they were last year."

Added that he thinks UNLV has done well against the run when that's been their emphasis — citing UNLV's game against NDSU as an example.

"That's kinda one of our goals every week as far as our recipe to win. We want to outrush our opponents."

HC Jason Eck said LB Jaxton Eck (shoulder) has a chance to play this weekend against UNLV.

Said Jaxton is “questionable probably rather than out” and that he will do some stuff in practice.

Is there any possibility WR Shawn Miller practices this week?:

“Probably not.”
