Rebels knock off Lobos with 4th quarter rally
A one yard rushing TD by backup QB Vincent Nelson with 3:19 left in the fourth quarter was enough to lift UNLV past Mountain West foe New Mexico. The Lobos certainly made things interesting, though, as they scored a TD with 1:03 left to cut the UNLV lead to 7 and then fell on the onside kick. An interception on 2nd and long sealed the victory for UNLV, however, and they are now 6-1 and 4-0 in league play. NM is now 2-3 and 0-1 in the Mountain West.
