Week 4: #7 (2-0) (0-0) @ (1-2) (0-0)

UNLV travels to Colorado to begin conference play. It's a beautiful day for football!

UNLV wins the toss and elects to kickoff. CSU begins at their 20 and go nowhere with a 3 and out. The Rebels start at their own 38. The get into CSU territory and then give up 2 sacks. What's worse, Mal Jalaal was injured on the drive. CSU begins at their own 9. They storm down the field and hit on a 34 yard TD strike to take a 7-0 lead.

UNLV starts at the 20.Two plays later, rookie WR stud Harris goes 68 yards for a TD and it's 7-7 just like that. CSU takes the ball on their 20 and in one play they go 80 yards for a TD. That makes it 14-7 CSU with no time left in the 1st quarter. UNLV's D us just awful today.

UNLV starts at the 26 and goes 3 and out. CSU starts at their own 28. They also go 3 and out and UNLV gets the ball back at their own 43. However, QB Morris (aka Mr. Interception) gets picked and CSU starts at their own 40. Then it's CSU's chance to go 3 and out. UNLV starts from the 20. They get down to the CSU six and then another Morris int and CSU takes over with 1:16 left in the half. CSU is forced to punt with 11 seconds left. UNLV takes over at the 30. UNLV goes for a hail mary and Morris hits Harris for the 70 yard TD. Wow! That makes it 14-14 to end the half.

Both teams had over 200 yards passing in the first half. This has been a weird game thus far.

UNLV begins the 3rd at the 27 and goes 3 and out. CSU begins at their own 30 but they fumble and hand the ball back to UNLV. However, UNLV cannot move the ball and settle for 3 to go up 17-14 with 5:01 left in the 3rd.

CSU starts at the 20 and gets into UNLV territory until CB Harris comes up with an int at the UNLV 31. The Rebels make CSU pay as they march the field and FB Taylor punches it in from the 1. THat makes it 24-14 UNLV with 33 seconds left in the 3rd.

The 3rd comes to an end with CSU going 3 and out. Long has a huge 42 yard punt return and UNLV starts at the CSU 35. Winston missed a fg from 45 yards out and the score remains the same. CSU gets the ball back and marches down the field for the TD to make it 24-21 CSU. On the next drive Morris gives up a safety and now it's 24-23 UNLV.

CSU starts next from their own 40. THey march down the field and score a td to make the score 29-24 with 1:14 left. UNLV has 4 straight incompletions as the cpu decided to win today and UNLV loses a game they had no right to lose.

What a disgusting outcome. UNLV had no right to lose this game to a very subpar team. However, the D was awful in the 2nd and the O stopped converting. There is really nothing left to say. With that loss there goes a shot at the National Championship...

The only highlight from the game was the play of rookie WR Terrence Harris as he had 4 rec for 158 yards and 2 TD's.
