BYU 24, UNLV 14

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Harvey Unga

The running back finished with 177 yards and a touchdown on 25 rushes. He also gained 44 yards on five receptions.

PLAY OF THE GAME

Late in the fourth quarter, running back Harvey Unga looks to be stopped at the 2-yard line, but the freshman pushes the pile and gets into the end zone to put the game away for the Cougars, who improve to 3-0 in Mountain West play.

KEY CALL

The Cougars make a conscious decision to almost exclusively keep the ball on the ground after halftime. With just 13 rushes in the first half, BYU backs have 31 rushes in the second half and the Cougars throw it just 10 times, wearing down UNLV.

QUOTABLE

"We're not a finished football team yet, but I'm happy with the win." — Bronco Mendenhall, BYU head coach
