Jackson Arnold rallies UNLV past No. 23 New Mexico, 21-17
Arnold passed for 201 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 98 yards as the Rebels erased a 14-0 deficit.
- On Saturday, November 14, 2026, quarterback Jackson Arnold powered UNLV to a 21-17 comeback victory against New Mexico at University Stadium in Albuquerque, spoiling the Lobos' debut in The Associated Press poll.
- Trailing 14-0 early, the Rebels staged a second-half rally following halftime adjustments that transformed their defensive effort. The UNLV defense held New Mexico to 88 yards after intermission.
- Arnold finished 11 of 26 for 201 yards passing and two touchdowns, adding 98 yards rushing including a decisive 44-yard scoring run with 7:26 remaining. "Our defense played its butts off," the quarterback said.
- The victory secures bowl eligibility for the Rebels for the fourth consecutive season, moving them to 6-4 overall. While the defeat likely ends New Mexico's two-week rankings appearance, the Lobos remain conference title contenders.
- Despite a nearly five-hour travel delay caused by a Federal Aviation Administration ground stop, the Rebels look ahead to their final two games starting at San Jose State on November 21 and concluding against UNR.
