UNLV dominated Fresno State in a decisive 59-14 victory, improving their record to 4-0. New starting quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams had an outstanding performance, completing 13 of 16 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown. The Rebels led 21-0 at halftime and extended their lead to 45-7 in the second half. The defense was equally impressive, recording three interceptions, two sacks, and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. This victory marks UNLV's best game of the season and positions them as strong contenders in the Mountain West Conference. This was their first game without former QB Matthew Sluka.
