UNLV played its annual game against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday night. The official stat sheet said only 16,717 were on hand to watch the Rebels tally a school-record 80 points — Idaho State had 8 — and do chest bumps on the sideline.
The Rebels set program records for most points scored in a half and in a game during Saturday night’s 80-8 win over Idaho State.
As UNLV ran off the Sam Boyd Stadium field at halftime, its long-suffering football fans stood and gave the football team a big ovation. They had a lot to shout about and no reason to be nervous.
