Final: Fresno State 56, UNLV 27
Recap: Turnovers, turnovers and more turnovers is what was the difference in this game. UNLV turned the ball over five times — three picks and two fumbles — which led to 28 Fresno State points. That number goes to 35 if you include a turnover on downs forced by the Bulldogs which they then converted another touchdown.
This game was actually close late in the third quarter with Fresno State up 28-20 and they just missed a field goal. UNLV had the ball looking to make a statement but on the very first play from scrimmage but Charles Williams lost the ball and Fresno State’s Justin Rice returned the ball for a touchdown and that led to the game eventually being a blowout.
The Fresno State offense had short fields to work with but even with that they had a season-high 489 yards. The per play numbers were off the charts with averaging 10 yards per pass and 7.2 per running play.
