What channel is Syracuse vs UNLV on today? Time, TV schedule to watch Week 6 game

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

There are still a handful of marquee non-conference games remaining, though, including one that looks much more enticing than it did two months ago.

On Friday, Syracuse will make the roughly 2,500-mile trek to Las Vegas to take on No. 23 UNLV at Allegiant Stadium in a matchup pitting one of the ACC’s early 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 is 3-1, a stretch highlighted by a Sept. 7 victory against what was then a ranked Georgia Tech team. Syracuse’s strong start has been buoyed by Ohio State transfer quarterback Kyle McCord, who has thrown for 1,459 yards, 14 touchdowns and five interceptions. One of his favorite targets has been Trebor Pena, a junior wide receiver who is tied for eighth among all FBS players with five touchdown receptions.

In UNLV, the Orange will face what could very well end up as one of its biggest challenges of the season. The Rebels are 4-0 and ranked for the first time in program history. Coach Barry Odom’s team hasn’t just won, but done so with an 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 on NIL payments. In their first game without Sluka, however, the Rebels didn’t miss a beat, racking up 450 total yards in a 59-14 victory against Fresno State. In the win, quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams, Sluka’s former backup, accounted for 301 total yards and four touchdowns.
