UNLV faces host Boise State in the Mountain West championship game Friday with a trip to the College Football Playoff on the line.
The No. 19 Rebels (10-2) have won four straight since a 29-24 setback against Boise State on Oct. 25 that was their only conference loss. UNLV trounced rival UNR 38-14 last week to retain the Fremont Cannon and set up the rematch against the Broncos (11-1).
No. 10 Boise State defeated Oregon State 34-18 in its most recent outing and is led by Heisman Trophy candidate Ashton Jeanty, who has run for a nation-best 2,288 yards and 28 touchdowns.
The winner is expected to be selected for the playoff field as one of the five highest-ranked conference champions.
