The snap wasn’t perfect, but UNLV kicker Evan Pantels still is this season after booting a game-winning 28-yard field goal with 49 seconds left to lift the Rebels to a 41-38 victory over Hawaii early Sunday morning at Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium.
Pantels, a junior college transfer from Georgia Military College, was recruited by UNLV primarily as a punter but also won the kicking job in fall camp and is 6-for-6 on field goals and 30-for-30 on extra points for the Rebels (3-4, 2-1 Mountain West), who will host Colorado State (3-4, 1-2) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium.
