UNLV extended its winning streak to five by outlasting the Wyoming Cowboys in Laramie’s unpredictable weather. Playing at War Memorial Stadium, the Rebels prevailed in their Mountain West opener, proving that neither altitude nor a swirling storm could slow them down.

Ben Christman, a former offensive lineman for UNLV, was found dead at his off-campus residence in February. The coroner has ruled that his death was caused by heart conditions. His passing marks a tragic moment for the UNLV community.
