Oct. 10 at UNLV 30, Fresno State 27 OT 
And You Care Because … With Fresno State kicker Kody Kroening missing an earlier extra point, the coaching staff chose not to try a field goal in overtime – Marteze Waller dropped the 4th and 17 pass from the 18 – and UNLV capitalized as Nicolai Bornand nailed a 33-yard field goal for the win. The Rebels had a chance to take it in regulation, but Jonathan Leiva missed a 26-yard try. The Rebels had a 17-0 first half lead, but Brian Burrell threw three touchdown passes for the Bulldogs, including a 13-yarder to Waller in the fourth. UNLV was able to tie it up thanks to the missed extra point with Bornand making it 27 all with a 46-yard kick.
