The Rainbow Warriors (3-4, 0-2 MW) now look to change their luck in Las Vegas, where they have lost their last four meetings with the Rebels. UH's last road win at UNLV came in 2007 in a non-conference match-up.
 
UH is coming off a 28-7 home loss to San Diego State which dropped the Warriors to 1-4 in the Mountain West. The Warriors were held to season lows in points (7), total yards (195), rushing yards (35), and first downs (12) in the contest. The Rebels (3-5, 2-3), meanwhile, pulled off the leagues' biggest upset of the weekend, with a 26-16 win at Fresno State. The first-place Bulldogs were previously undefeated in MW play.
