UNLV 49, Nevada 42

This game had all of the players remembering last year when Nevada destroyed UNLV 45-10. So it was time for revenge. But it was a tough battle. Once again, we couldn't stop the run. Nevada ran for over 300 yards. Luckily for us, Armani Rogers was on point. He threw for 460 yards. Being that this was just a back and forth scoring fest, I figured that one mistake would give us the loss. So when Rogers threw a pick in the red zone late in the third quarter, I thought we were done. But on the very next play, redshirt freshman linebacker David Tate Jr. came up with a pick six to save the day. And with 2:45 left in the game, our defense finally got the stop we needed as we forced Nevada to punt. From there, it was all too easy to run out the clock and get the win.

On a bad note, we lost Lexington Thomas for two weeks due to a rib injury. We will be missing his speed for sure.

We are now 7-1 and Bowl eligible. I could have never thought in my wildest dreams that we'd be doing so well considering that turning Fatigue OFF keeps the CPU at their strongest. But the teams in the Mountain West are rated low like mine, and the games are fiercely competitive. Although I complained about how I couldn't get a challenge against the CPU in other dynasties, this one is very different. I don't think I'll be getting anywhere close to the national championship game any time soon.
