LAS VEGAS
Ex-Bullard High star Charles Williams provided a second-quarter spark, keying one touchdown drive and finishing another as UNLV led Fresno State 21-7 at halftime of Saturday night’s Mountain West Conference opener.
Williams’ 5-yard run capped a seven-play, 69-yard drive to make it 14-7 with 5:55 to play in the half – the third in a series of three straight TD drives by the teams after a scoreless first quarter. Williams ran for 85 yards on 10 first-half carries.
After the Rebels forced a punt, UNLV redshirt freshman quarterback Dalton Sneed – in his first start – executed a fake screen and hit Elijah Trosclair for 61 yards and a 14-point lead.
