This was the first game the UNLV Rebels were without their starting QB Doug Brumfield and they could not fill his role as they got beat by Air Force at home. This was also their first loss of the season.
Starting at QB was the young Cameron Friel who came in last week after Brumfield went out and the Rebels got the ball first. Their drive was ended abruptly after Friel fumbled after rushing for 3 yards.
The first quarter was all Air Force as they put up 14 points after that UNLV fumble and another fumble on the kickoff.
