In an expected shootout from two of the Mountain West’s top offenses, the Rebels on Saturday beat Air Force 51-48 before a homecoming crowd of 32,932 at Allegiant Stadium.

UNLV is now 6-0 overall and 2-0 in conference.

The Rebels rolled up 597 yards. UNLV quarterback Anthony Colandrea finished 20 of 32 passing for 361 yards and a touchdown, the first 300-yard passing game for the program since November 2023.

Air Force had 428 yards rushing and a total of 603.

The Falcons missed a 40-yard field-goal attempt with two seconds remaining that would have forced overtime.
