UNLV Rebels Set to Clash with Air Force Falcons at Falcon Stadium in Football Showdown

As the UNLV Rebels prepare to face off against the Air Force Falcons at Falcon Stadium, fans are eager to see if the team can carry forward their recent momentum. The Rebels have had a challenging season, but their performance has shown signs of promise.

In their last game against the Aztecs, despite a loss with 20 points to 28, UNLV demonstrated offensive capability by amassing 394 total yards. Their passing game was particularly strong, with a completion percentage of approximately 62 percent and two touchdowns. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up two interceptions.


The previous victory over Hawaii's Warriors by a score of 27-13 showcased UNLV's ability to control the clock with an impressive possession time of nearly 40 minutes and a solid ground game that churned out almost six yards per carry for three rushing touchdowns. Their defense also stepped up with three sacks and two interceptions.


Against New Mexico's Lobos in another win (31-17), UNLV's defense was relentless, recording eight sacks and forcing four fumbles while recovering three. The offense balanced between air and ground attacks effectively; however, they'll need to be mindful of turnovers as they lost one fumble and threw one interception.


Playing at Falcon Stadium presents its challenges due to altitude and weather conditions that could impact player performance. Nevertheless, if the Rebels can maintain their defensive tenacity while tightening ball security on offense, they stand a chance at making this an exciting contest.


Fans can catch all the action from Falcon Stadium on November 26th at 8:30 PM Eastern Time on CBS Sports Network.
