UTSA came into Saturday’s game undefeated while UNLV looked to win its first game of the season. When the final whistle blew those records remained the same—UTSA is now 5-0 while UNLV is 0-5. Even so, this game was anything but a blowout. The UNLV Rebels matched UTSA’s energy and intensity, and the teams traded blows early on before the Roadrunners began to pull away.
Saturday’s game made clear that UNLV is not a typical winless team. The Rebels showed they can compete despite their record, and it took a strong defensive effort for UTSA to walk out of the Alamodome with a victory.
