Nevada dominates UNLV 51-20, keeps Fremont Cannon blue
Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports It’s official: The Fremont Cannon will remain blue for another year!
The Nevada Wolf Pack cruised to a 51-20 victory over the UNLV Rebels Friday evening in Mackay Stadium’s first sell out since 2015. Its 31-point margin-of-victory was the largest in a Nevada-UNLV game since Nevada’s 45-10 victory on Nov. 26, 2016.
Though the Pack entered 14-9 all-time at home against UNLV, they dropped three of their four previous meetings to its longtime intrastate rival in Reno, Nev.
Recent history didn’t repeat itself on Friday.
The Pack out-gained UNLV 438-293 with four more first downs (25-to-21).
