UNLV and San Diego State players will wear red ribbon decals on their helmets during their game Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium to honor the victims of Sunday night's mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.

Fifty-nine people were killed when a gunman opened fire on a country music concert on the Strip. It is the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

UNLV has plans for commemorative tributes to honor the victims as well as first responders in a pregame ceremony and throughout Saturday's game, which it has dubbed "Heroes Night."

The Rebels will wear the red ribbon decals on their helmets all season.
