The stage is set for a thrilling showdown in the Mountain West Conference as the UNLV Rebels host the Nevada Wolf Pack on Saturday, November 30, 2024. This critical matchup not only pits these in-state rivals against each other but also offers UNLV the opportunity to secure a spot in the Mountain West Championship game for the first time. The Rebels, led by quarterback Doug Brumfield, have enjoyed a successful season thus far, with Brumfield throwing for 2,231 yards and 20 touchdowns, while also rushing for 446 yards and an additional five scores. UNLV carries a 9-2 record entering the game, fresh off a 38-21 victory against Colorado State. In contrast, Nevada’s Wolf Pack, now under the guidance of head coach Ken Wilson, comes into the game with a 6-5 record and needs a win to maintain their bowl eligibility after a stunning 45-24 defeat to Fresno State last week. The rivalry, which features the famous Fremont Cannon, is expected to draw significant attention given its implications for the conference standings. As the players prepare for what is sure to be an emotional encounter, Brumfield stated, ‘This is the game we’ve been working for all season. We’ve got a chance to do something special, and we can’t let it slip away.’ With a capacity crowd expected at Allegiant Stadium, both teams will leave no stone unturned to capture bragging rights and claim their place in Mountain West history.
