Game Report Posted: October 11, 2013 05:19
After trading points back and forth for the entire game, UNLV went ahead by 1 with an early fourth quarter TD Pass from Jared Leibowitz to Adam Goode. They scored another TD with 1:14 left on a 9 yard run by Joseph Ajeigbe and decided to go for the kill, completing a 2-point conversion to go up by 2 scores. It proved handy, as the Rebels' defense held the Aztecs off long enough to score a TD with 4 seconds left, allowing them essentially no time to score again even if they had recovered the onside kick (which they didn't). UNLV finishes the regular season with a sparkling 11-1 record (7-1 in conference play) while San Diego State falls to 6-6 (5-3).

While he threw a red zone interception on 4th and short early in the 4th quarter, Hawthorne rebounded to string together a series of runs (including a 23 yarder on 4th and 10 where he stepped just over the outstretched arms of the defender).
