The Battle for the Fremont Cannon will take place this Saturday at Mackay Stadium. The cannon is currently painted red after UNLV won last year’s matchup 27-22. It’s not likely Nevada will repaint it blue, but wild things happen in this rivalry.
Both programs are on opposite ends of the standings. The Rebels come into this matchup 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the conference. They picked up a 44-20 victory against Hawaii last week and are on a nice three-game win streak.
Meanwhile, for Nevada, I continue to sound like a broken record when mentioning its losing streak.
