The women's volleyball team will be looking to continue its winning ways on the road this weekend, as the Utes travel to the New Mexico State Tournament.

Going into the game on Saturday, both the Utah Utes and UNLV Rebels can be proud. One vaulted into the polls and the other whimpered out of one.

Yeah, Utah's defense is going to be great, and the offense will probably average 400-some-odd yards per game8212;but the new dawn is that you'll probably get the chance to see it happen before your very eyes again, finally.

It just so happens that the No. 22 Utes are8212;whether openly admitting it or not8212;vowing to greet the Runnin' Rebels with a significant vendetta.

Who has the edge in the upcoming match of the Utah Utes vs. the UNLV Rebels?

UNLV's football program has recently fallen on hard times. The great teams that included Randall Cunningham and Elbert "Ickey" Woods are long gone and the Rebels now find themselves as one of the worst teams in the Mountain West Conference.

With a disappointing Labor Day weekend behind them, the Utes turn their attention to a pair of road games this coming weekend.

First, head coach Rich Manning will lead his team into Eugene, Ore., to take on the Oregon Ducks before heading across the state to Corvallis to take on Oregon State on Sunday.

Utah's defensive ends have the talent to get all sorts of pressure on the quarterback and this is what makes them tick.

Chris Gresh found so much success at Utah, that he's decided to stay despite finishing his four years.

As an objective member of The Daily Utah Chronicle who's dedicated to the ethics of professional journalism, I'm not allowed to have a favorite U football player. But if you, the most rabid, unrelenting, jump-during-third-down fans are looking for someone to admire, or possibly one day own the replica jersey of, I'd highly recommend Nai Fotu.
