Watch Syracuse vs UNLV game today: channel, time, streaming information

With the calendar now turned to October, much of college football is shifting to conference play.

However, there are still a handful of standout non-conference games, including one that looks a lot more enticing than it did two months ago.

On Friday, Syracuse will make the 2,500-mile trip to Las Vegas to face No. 23 UNLV at Allegiant Stadium. It pits one of the ACC's first surprise teams against one of the most exciting and unexpectedly newsworthy teams in all of college football.

Under first-year head coach Fran Brown, the Orange are 3-1, highlighted by a Sept. 7 win over then-ranked Georgia Tech. Syracuse's strong start was helped by Ohio State transfer quarterback Kyle McCord, who threw for 1,459 yards, 14 touchdowns and five interceptions. One of his favorite targets was Trebor Pena, a junior wide receiver who ranks eighth among all FBS players with five touchdown receptions.

The Orange face one of their biggest challenges of the season at UNLV. The Rebels are 4-0 and are ranked for the first time in program history. Coach Barry Odom's team not only won, but did so with unmistakable flair, averaging 45.3 points per game, the 10th best mark among 134 FBS programs.

The program became a source of national intrigue and debate last week when quarterback Matthew Sluka left the team over allegedly unfulfilled verbal promises about NIL payments. However, in their first game without Sluka, the Rebels didn't let up and totaled 450 yards in a 59-14 win over Fresno State. In the win, quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams, Sluka's former backup, totaled 301 yards and four touchdowns.

“The Rebels are 4-0 ATS (against the spread) and dual-threat quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams led a 59-14 win over Fresno State. Kyle McCord leads the FBS with 364.8 passing yards per game. Syracuse is 1-6 ATS since 2022 as an underdog on the road. This line has reached half a point since it opened, but the Orange are good enough to maintain that gap.”
