There's one last chance to salvage what has been a disappointing season for the Nevada football team. This one involves a fierce in-state rivalry as Nevada plays UNLV at 5 p.m. Saturday (TV- CBS Sports Network) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

UNLV is preparing to play the most important game in its relatively short and mostly miserable history, and even its heated up-state rival gets the significance of this matchup. Nevada coach Jeff Choate called it "a meaningful game for the state of Nevada” because there is so much more on the line than state bragging rights and which team gets to paint the Fremont Cannon in its school's primary color.
