The UNLV football team aims to end a two-game losing streak when it faces Colorado State on Saturday in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The Rebels hold a 6-2 overall record and are 2-2 in Mountain West play. They recently lost 40-35 to New Mexico, allowing 532 yards of total offense, including 401 passing yards. A loss this weekend would threaten their chances of reaching the Mountain West championship game for the third year in a row.
"They can’t afford another loss if they hope to play in the Mountain West championship game for the third consecutive year."
This will be UNLV’s first game at Colorado State since 2019. Their 2020 game at Canvas Stadium was canceled due to positive COVID-19 tests.
With a 2-6 overall record and 1-3 in conference, Colorado State is on a two-game losing streak. Midway through his fourth season, head coach Jay Norvell was fired. Interim coach Tyson Summers took over and faced a 28-0 loss against Wyoming on October 25.
"The Rams have won seven straight games at home against UNLV."***
