Late catch helps Broncos pull away from Rebels

There isn’t usually a fourth-quarter play that could have changed an entire game when a team wins by four touchdowns.

There was one such moment in UNLV’s 55-27 home loss to Boise State on Saturday, though.

Facing a third-and-12 and leading 34-27 with just over 10 minutes remaining, Brett Rypien fired a strike to Chaz Anderson on the right sideline beyond the first-down marker for the Broncos.

One official ruled the play a completion, but another came running in to offer his opinion that Anderson was not able to make the catch before going out of bounds.
