This result moves the Beavers to a 4-3 record for the season, while the Rebels advance to an impressive 6-1. Despite their efforts and a game filled with notable performances, Oregon State could not clinify victory on their home turf at Reser Stadium.

Key Moments and Performances

The game was characterized by its dynamic plays and standout individual performances. Gevani McCoy, quarterback for Oregon State, showcased his dual-threat capability by rushing for 81 yards on 16 attempts, including two touchdowns with one being an impressive longest run of 71 yards that ended in a touchdown. His performance on the ground was pivotal but unfortunately not enough to secure a win.

On defense, Oluwaseyi Omotosho made his presence felt with one sack and one tackle loss totaling 13 yards lost for UNLV. This defensive effort was complemented by Jack Kane's interception that returned for five yards, marking critical defensive plays that momentarily shifted momentum in favor of Oregon State.

Special teams also had their moments with Everett Hayes successfully converting all his extra point attempts and securing a field goal from 20 yards out. However, these efforts were overshadowed by Anthony Hankerson's fumble which turned over possession to UNLV - a moment that proved costly in such a tight contest.
