The Bulldogs' offense was firing on all cylinders as they accumulated a total of 381 yards. The passing game was particularly effective, with an impressive completion percentage of 82 percent leading to 313 passing yards and three touchdowns.

They rushed for a total of 68 yards across 26 attempts and secured one rushing touchdown from just five yards out. Their efficiency shone through in critical situations; they were successful on all three fourth-down attempts and converted six out of twelve third-down opportunities.


Special teams also played their part flawlessly; field goal kickers were perfect on the day with three made field goals from within twenty-nine yards contributing nine points to the scoreboard. Kickoff units did well too, ensuring touchbacks on six occasions from eight kickoffs.


Defensively, Fresno State's performance was highlighted by seven tackles for loss and one sack that cost UNLV eight yards.
