The Fremont Cannon’s stay in Las Vegas was short lived.
For the 10th time in the last 12 years, the trophy awarded to the annual Nevada Wolf Pack / UNLV Rebels football rivalry will take up residence in Reno. Nevada rolled UNLV 45-10 at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday.
This one was ugly by halftime. Nevada was up 17-0 ten seconds into the second quarter, and built a 27-10 halftime lead thanks to rushing touchdowns by quarterback Ty Gangi and running back James Butler. Gangi also found James Butler from 14 yards out with two minutes remaining in the half.
