First Quarter


The game kicked off with both teams eager to establish control. The UNLV offense quickly found its rhythm, with Anthony Colandrea leading a precise passing attack that resulted in an early touchdown. Colandrea completed 21 of his 26 pass attempts for a total of 253 yards and three touchdowns, demonstrating remarkable efficiency with an impressive completion rate of 81 percent.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, the Running Rebels' defense stepped up significantly. Aamaris Brown was instrumental on defense, contributing one and a half sacks and two quarterback hits that disrupted Hawai'i's offensive flow. Meanwhile, Keyvone Lee powered through for a rushing touchdown, extending UNLV's lead further.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw both defenses tighten up as neither team managed to score any points. However, it was during this period that Jake Pope made his presence felt by intercepting a pass from Hawai'i's quarterback—an interception that would prove crucial in maintaining momentum for UNLV.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter of play, JoJo Earle electrified fans with an explosive run resulting in another touchdown for UNLV. Earle's performance added depth to an already potent offensive display by gaining significant yardage on just two carries.


Overall, this game highlighted not only individual brilliance but also cohesive teamwork from both sides of the ball for UNLV—a testament reflected in their superior statistics across various facets such as total yards (470) compared to Hawai’i’s efforts which were stifled effectively throughout most parts except early exchanges where they managed only one field goal after initial success scoring seven points initially via touchdown drive led by their quarterback Anthony Colandrea who orchestrated plays efficiently under pressure situations faced during matchups against formidable opponents like those encountered here today at Allegiant Stadium!
