The Rebels traveled to the Sun Bowl and took on the UTEP Miners. After the come from behind victory against Vanderbilt the week before, Coach Odom and the boys kept the momentum rolling.
QB Jayden Maiava started this game for the Rebels in the place of starter QB Doug Brumfield who was injured last week against Vandy. However, the offensive attack did not come from the air, it came on the ground.
UNLV’s first possession ended with a punt. The defense held the Miner offense to a punt as well, but the Miner punt was blocked by DB Cameren Jenkins and recovered by OLB Zavier Carter on the Miner 12 yard-line.
