LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — Anthony Colandrea threw a touchdown pass, and Kayden McGee and Jaden Bradley each scored on special teams as UNLV used a dominant first half to beat Wyoming 31-17 on Saturday night.
Keyvone Lee opened the scoring with a 6-yard touchdown run before Jaden Bradley blocked a punt that Kayden McGee scooped and returned 16 yards for a score. Ramon Villela added a 36-yard field goal to extend the Rebels' lead to 17-3.
In the second quarter, McGee returned the favor — blocking another punt that Bradley took 13 yards for a score to give UNLV a 24-3 halftime lead.
Wyoming (2-3, 0-1) briefly closed the gap when Deion DeBlanc scored on a 12-yard run early in the third, but Colandrea’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Jai’Den Thomas in the fourth helped seal it for the Rebels (5-0, 1-0 Mountain West Conference).
Colandrea was 11-of-20 passing for 102 yards and a touchdown. Thomas finished with 94 yards rushing and Bradley caught five passes for 65 yards.
Kaden Anderson completed 25 of 46 passes and threw for 254 yards with a touchdown for the Cowboys, who turned the ball over twice.
