UNLV 42, Wyoming 25

Laramie, WY -- Rebels quarterback Nick Sherry put up 424 yards through the air in the win over the Wyoming Cowboys. But it was Keith Whitely's day as he broke the school record for touchdowns in a game with 5. Devonte Boyd also had a big game with 116 yards receiving.

This seemed like it was going to be a close game in the beginning as the second quarter started with the score 10-7 Cowboys. But UNLV poured it on with two Whitely touchdown runs before the half. In the third quarter, UNLV and Wyoming traded back and forth scores until the Rebels finally stopped the Cowboys momentum. Whitely sealed the victory with his fifth touchdown of the game.

"I'm proud of Keith for stepping up in the absence of Niko [Kapeli]", said Rebels head coach Sean O'Bradovich. "We had this thing designed for both of them to contribute, but Shannon [Whitaker] is stepping up now and is doing a great job."
