FRESNO, Calif. — The rains came and they came hard late in the game, and it was appropriate because any hope of UNLV putting together a special football season were washed away in an inexcusable loss to one of the nation's worst teams.
Marteze Waller's 38-yard touchdown run with 2:37 remaining and ensuing 2-point conversion gave Fresno State a 31-28 victory, rallying the Bulldogs from two touchdowns behind to win Friday night at Bulldog Stadium.
UNLV (2-5, 1-2 Mountain West) watched its hopes of competing for a West Division title wiped out and its chances of going to a bowl all but erased after blowing a 28-14 lead in the third quarter.
