UNLV rallies past New Mexico, snaps 11-game home win streak

ALBUQUERQUE — Jackson Arnold threw for two touchdowns and ran for a 44-yard go-ahead score in the fourth quarter to lift UNLV past No. 23 New Mexico 21-17 on Saturday night, snapping the Lobos’ 11-game home and conference winning streaks. Down 14-0 in the second quarter and trailing 17-7 heading into the fourth, UNLV (6-4, 4-2 Mountain West) outscored New Mexico 21-3 over the final three quarters to earn its first victory over a ranked opponent since upsetting No. 13 Arizona State in overtime on Sept. 6, 2008. The Rebels became bowl-eligible for a school-record fourth consecutive season and extended their winning streak in Albuquerque to five games. The loss dealt a major blow to the College Football Playoff hopes of New Mexico (8-2, 5-1), though the Lobos can still clinch a spot as hosts of the Mountain West championship game by winning their final two regular-season contests.
