The University of Nevada, Reno recaptured the Fremont Cannon with a score of 45-10 in a battle with UNLV on Nov. 26 at the Sam Boyd Stadium.
“We looked like a tired, worn-down football team and it’s unacceptable in a game as big as that,” head coach Tony Sanchez said to the media during the postgame press conference. “Those are the games you want to come out and perform well in. I’m disappointed in our lack of preparedness and a lack of our physicality. There’s no excuses.”
Not only did the Rebels lose to their in-state rival, but they also lost on Senior Day, which started off honoring 16 departing players, but coming to a bitter end.
