Through 1 Quarter
Although the UNLV Rebels were the underdogs at kickoff, they've since taken control of the game. Either team is in a position to win, but they lead against the Fresno State Bulldogs 7-6.
RB Charles Williams has led the way so far for the Rebels, as he has punched in one rushing touchdown. Fresno State has been riding high on the performance of QB Jake Haener, who has accumulated 63 passing yards in addition to rushing for one TD and 50 yards. That touchdown -- a 54-yard rush in the first quarter -- was one of the highlights of the matchup.

What to Know
The UNLV Rebels and the Fresno State Bulldogs are set to square off in a Mountain West matchup at 3:30 p.m. ET Nov. 7 at Allegiant Stadium. Fresno State should still be feeling good after a big win, while the Rebels will be looking to right the ship.
UNLV received a tough blow last week as they fell 37-19 to the Nevada Wolf Pack. No one had a standout game offensively for UNLV, but they got scores from WR Steve Jenkins and WR Tyleek Collins. Gilliam had some trouble finding his footing against the San Diego State Aztecs two weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Fresno State took their matchup against the Colorado State Rams last Thursday by a conclusive 38-17 score. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Fresno State had established a 31-10 advantage. Their RB Ronnie Rivers was on fire, punching in two rushing touchdowns in addition to snatching one receiving TD.
The Rebels are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-2 ATS when expected to lose.
UNLV suffered a grim 56-27 defeat to the Bulldogs when the two teams previously met in October of last year. Maybe UNLV will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
