UNLV led by 20 late in the second quarter but WVU chip away here and there, eventually taking single digit leads in the third and fourth quarters. The teams traded scores in the fourth quarter, but an uncharacteristic 3 and out by WVU late in the fourth combined with a mediocre punt and a 31 yard pass from Troy Hawthorne to Reggie Lewis put UNLV in field goal range. True Freshman Brooks Bradley connected on a 31 yarder as time expired to clinch the UNLV victory, 59-56.
