UNLV's warts show in loss to Wyoming

UNLV’s chances of returning to the Mountain West championship and a bowl appearance took a hit Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium, where Wyoming won 41-35 in front of 25,277 fans. The Rebels trailed 41-21 late when coach Dan Mullen replaced quarterback Jackson Arnold with Michigan transfer Alex Orji. Orji’s spark nearly erased the deficit, but a costly interception in the end zone with 1:55 remaining ended the comeback. Wyoming’s Tyler Hughes fueled the Cowboys with 107 passing yards and 71 rushing yards before injuring his right arm. UNLV fell to 5-4 and remains one win from bowl eligibility, with its next road game against first-place New Mexico in Albuquerque.
