RENO, Nev. — Jai'Den Thomas had 103 yards rushing and four touchdowns on 11 carries Saturday night to help UNLV beat Nevada 42-17 and clinch a share of the Mountain West Conference regular-season title.

UNLV (10-2, 6-2) is tied atop the conference with New Mexico, San Diego State and Boise State. A composite average of computer metrics will be used to determine which two of the programs will play in the MWC championship game on Friday. The participating teams and location will be announced Sunday morning by the conference.

The Rebels, who beat California 24-13 in the 2024 LA Bowl on Dec. 18 to finish 11-3, have won double-digit games for just the fourth time and have 10-plus wins in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history.
