Dirty hits and pulled off helmets.
UNLV took home the Fremont Canon and it will be painted red after its 33-30 overtime win over Nevada. However, the game will be marred with what happened after the final score.
A fight broke out after the game-winning score when Steve Jenkins caught a 19-yard pass from Kenyon Oblad.
This also was Tony Sanchez’s last game as head coach for UNLV as he was been relieved of his duties earlier this week.
This blind-side hit seems to have started it all and outside of the game going to the road team Rebels, it seems that there was nothing to start a fight.
The fight had many, many, many instances where things went crazy after that sucker punch.
These two images are after that blindside hit as the teams converge on each other.
Below is UNLV tight end Noah Bean throwing a Nevada player into the wall just below some fans. It is hard to tell what Wolf Pack player that is, but Bean then proceeds to go after the player he threw into the wall. That part is not clear in the video outside of him charging.
These next stills show the teams running to behind the end zone and start scuffling.
Finally, there EW Rebel players taunting the crows. There is a glove being thrown, one doing the loser dance from Fortnite and then one waving bye. Those three can be seen more clear in the video at the end of this post.
Here is the full video of the fight.
