Suffocating defense leads Rebs to victory
UNLV led off with a 10-0 lead and never looked back, scoring in every quarter for a three TD victory. Much of the excitement for this season has revolved around first year head coach Sean Hogan and his new offensive system, but it was the defense who won the game today, holding Colorado to 133 total yards and forcing two turnovers. QB Nick Sherry had two short rushing touchdowns for UNLV in the second quarter and RB Joseph Ajeigbe tacked on one himself in the third.
