"“I’ve got to watch what I say here,” Mullen said. “I’ll be honest — I’ve been pleased with officiating in this league all year long. All I ask for is consistency because that lets players play. If you’re going to call it tight, call it tight. If you’re going to call it loose, call it loose. There were some crazy things that went on out there. You just have to go to the next play.”

Mullen On UNLV Being The Best Show In Vegas

"“Shame on you if you missed this because you’re not going to get a better show in Vegas than if you had been here at Allegiant Stadium. (This) week is also a big week. You have ‘Monday Night Football’ with the Cowboys and Raiders. You have the F1 race. I’m sure there are concerts everywhere.

But you also get to see the Rebels play Friday night (at 7:30) against Hawaii. And you’re probably going to see the best show.”
