Early life

[edit]

College career

[edit]

Friel began his true freshman season as backup quarterback, but was named starter for week three against Iowa State,[2] completing 7 of 12 passes for 55 yards and one interception in the 3–48 loss.[3] He then started the following eight games before suffering a season-ending injury, finishing his first year of college football with 1,608 passing yards and six touchdowns, while completing 62.4 percent of his throws, which placed third all-time for any UNLV player.[1] At the end of the year, Friel was named Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year.[4]
