UNLV Football: Wyoming Comes to Allegiant on Saturday — and the Kickoff and TV Are Now Set
The Rebels' final month now has its first fixed point. Wyoming visits Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, November 7, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. Pacific on CBS Sports Network — a designation finalized Sunday — as UNLV opens a closing stretch that ends with the Fremont Cannon game on November 28.
UNLV's next game is locked in. The Rebels host Wyoming at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, November 7, and the television selections for that weekend — finalized on Sunday, November 1 — put the game at 10:30 p.m. Eastern, 7:30 p.m. Pacific, on CBS Sports Network. Wyoming is a longtime rival, and the game opens the final month of the regular season one week after the Rebels' 31-24 Halloween win over Northern Illinois at Allegiant.
The closing stretch is the season in miniature. After Wyoming, UNLV plays back-to-back road games — at New Mexico on November 14 and at San Jose State on November 21 — before returning home on November 28 for the 52nd Battle for the Fremont Cannon against UNR, the featured game of the Silver State Series. UNLV has won four straight in the rivalry and is seeking a fifth consecutive win over the Wolf Pack for only the second time in program history.
The stakes are the ones second-year head coach Dan Mullen's team carried into the season: the Rebels have won 30 games over the last three years and played in three straight Mountain West championship games, and a fourth straight trip to the league title game — played in the first week of December — runs through these four Saturdays. It starts with Wyoming under the lights at Allegiant, in the late national window, on Saturday night.
