After defeating quality opponents in their first two road games of the season, UNLV barely defeated Wyoming in their third (and first road conference game). While a TD with 12 seconds left brought Wyoming to within 3, it was UNLV who roared back with a late comeback, needing a 28-0 run from 3:49 left in the 3rd until 45 seconds remaining in the 4th just to take the lead in the first place. Nick Sherry threw five interceptions but ran for two TD's and threw for another to get the win.
