Before the game against the San Diego Aztecs at Sam Boyd Stadium, the UNLV football team honored the 58 victims lost in the Route 91 Harvest Festival massacre.
During the ceremony prior to the game, there was a performance of “God Bless America.” First responders released 58 white balloons for the lives lost, and the field was covered with a 100-yard American flag.
Playing with heavy hearts in front of a packed house, it was all Aztecs from start to finish as the team ran away with the game in the second half to win 41-10.
UNLV head coach Tony Sanchez understands that despite the weight of the night, it came down to one thing.
