When Xzaviar Campbell saw his fellow UNLV freshman running back and Houstonian Lexington Thomas pull off an amazing run Friday morning at Rebel Park, he knew he had to respond with one of his own.
Thomas was going to the ground when he rolled on top of a defender without touching the turf and somehow regained his footing at the 9-yard line. He then headed to the end zone and completed a 28-yard touchdown run.
"I ran to him and celebrated and told him I'm going to top him," Campbell said.
Campbell did just that. He produced a 19-yard run and touchdowns from 8 and 3 yards.
