LAS VEGAS (AP) — Anthony Colandrea threw three touchdown passes and UNLV breezed to a 38-10 victory over Hawaii on Friday night.
UNLV (9-2, 5-2 Mountain West Conference) turned the game-opening drive into a 44-yard field goal by Ramon Villela, but Hawaii (7-4, 4-3) answered with Micah Alejado's 70-yard scoring strike to Jackson Harris on the Rainbow Warriors' third play from scrimmage.
Colandrea passed 8 yards to Jaden Bradley for a touchdown at the end of an eight-play, 75-yard drive and the Rebels led 14-3 after one quarter.
Colandrea and Taeshaun Lyons teamed up on a 72-yard touchdown pass just four plays and 1:23 into the second quarter to push the lead to 10. Keyvone Lee ran it in from 14 yards out at the end of a 13-play drive to make it 24-7, but Kansei Matsuzawa's 45-yard field goal with 5 seconds left cut Hawaii's deficit to 14 at halftime.
Colandrea had a 1-yard touchdown toss to Daejon Reynolds on the first play of the fourth quarter to finish off an eight-play, 85-yard drive for a 31-10 advantage. JoJo Earle capped the scoring with a 27-yard touchdown run.
Colandrea completed 21 of 26 passes for 253 yards for the Rebels.
Alejado totaled 163 yards on 15-for-24 passing with an interception for the Rainbow Warriors.
Both teams, which began the day in a five-way tie for second place in the MWC, conclude the regular season on Nov. 29 when the Rebels travel to play Nevada and the Rainbow Warriors host Wyoming.

Maybe the state government should stop doing everything they can to push out and destroy Silicon Valley and capitalism?
