UNLV Takes 14-7 Halftime Lead Over Memphis as Ramon Villela Misses 32-Yard Field Goal

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Aug 30

UNLV led Memphis 14-7 at halftime after Ramon Villela missed a 32-yard field goal as the clock expired, wasting a late chance to extend the margin.
A forced and recovered Memphis fumble with under 2 minutes left gave the Rebels that opening, but the drive ended without points.
Jackson Arnold fueled UNLV's edge by going 17 of 21 for 203 yards and a touchdown while adding 40 rushing yards and a 6-yard scoring run.
The game opened as a defensive stalemate with six straight punts before Arnold hit Tavian McNair for a 38-yard touchdown and Memphis answered on Marcus Stokes' scoring pass to Hunter Tipton.
