UNLV v. Nevada: Keys to a Rebels victory over the Wolf Pack

Since neither UNLV or Nevada will be heading to a bowl game this postseason, fans should expect a battle between these two teams on Saturday.

UNLV is coming off a 42-25 road loss to now No. 20 Boise State while UNR ended a four-game losing streak with a 38-37 comeback win against Utah State on Nov. 19. The last time Nevada played in Las Vegas, in 2014, the Wolf Pack returned home with the cannon. In 2015, the Rebels traveled to Reno and with some help from the defense and Kurt Palandech under center, UNLV now holds the edge on the Fremont Cannon as the rivalry is set to kick off at 1 p.
