For the first time since 2017, the Fremont Cannon is returning to Reno painted blue.
A career-outing from Nevada Wolf Pack wideout Romeo Doubs propelled a 37-19 victory over intrastate rival UNLV (0-2) in the Battle for the Fremont Cannon on Saturday night. Nevada lost its previous two meetings against the Rebels.
Doubs entered the Tuesday night contest with a career-best 167 yards. The junior eclipsed that mark in the first half, reaching 189 on five catches.
He cooled off in the second half, still finishing with a career-high 219 yards on seven receptions — including a 65-yard score.
