The Boise St. Broncos won three of the past four MWC championships but bolted for the PAC-16 over the offseason. UNLV wanted to keep them on the schedule and defeated them 14-7 in an ugly season opener. Boise took an early 7-0 lead with a first quarter passing TD from Nick Patti to Keith Keys, but UNLV had the last laugh, with two Troy Hawthorne passing TDs, to Tony McTyer in the 2nd quarter and Reggie Lewis in the 4th. The true story of the day was UNLV's stifling defense that held Boise St. to 263 offensive yards and just 55 yards on 16 carries on the ground, forcing two turnovers.

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.
