CSU was led by Sr QB Pete Thomas, who had another strong game throwing for 256 yards on 14 of 21 passing for 4 TD and one interception. "I feel like I'm really clicking with the receivers lately. I'm feeling extremely comfortable both in the pocket and to the outside when I scramble, I'm finding that it opens guys up as their man leaves to chase me while our guy sits there wide open."

Starting HB Chris Nwoke may start having to look over his shoulder at competition for carries, as Tony Drake filled in for the majority of the game while Nwoke was nursing a sore shoulder to run for 170 yards and 3 TD. Nwoke did manage 46 yards and a TD in the little action he saw. Gordon King added another goalline bullrush TD, cementing his status as the teams Power Back.

Andrew Gill lead the receivers with 117 yards and a TD. Touchdowns were also caught by Sophmore Taylor Pino, FB Joe Brown, and Freshman Derrcik Rhodes."Coach had put up a printoff off the internet where a couple members of their secondary had commented that 'There was no way we'd be able to do anything against them, and that they were going to shut us down.' That proved to be more than enough motivation for us out there today, I think we proved who the better unit was out on the field." Gill commented about the teams performance.

Freshman LB Dan McKenzie had a beautiful interception off a bobbled pass where he just reached into the receivers arms and stole the ball away."Next time they will learn to hold on tight." McKenzie said.

UNLV was led by their Jr QB Taylor Barnhill, who was 13 of 21 passing for 139 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

"We've be able to point a lot of points up on the board this season, and the defense isn't letting us down either. Having an experienced quality quarterback means everything in the college game, and I think we're living proff of that."CSU coach Drew Gill commented.
