Rebels fall short in comeback attempt against Aztecs

If UNLV could have a redo with its game against San Diego State, they would eagerly take it. For the second week in a row, the Rebels had a chance to get a conference win, but they squandered its opportunity as San Diego State outlasted UNLV 20-17.

The game went down to the final seconds as Daniel Gutierrez lined up for a 42-yard field goal attempt. But, that was not the Rebels first and only chance to win the game.

It did not look like, at the start, that UNLV would be in this game.

After UNLV went three-and-out on its first drive, the Aztecs connected on their second drive.
