Kohorst's 44-yd FG lifts UNLV past Hawaii, 39-37

LAS VEGAS -- UNLV's Nolan Kohorst kicked a 44-yard field goal as time expired to give UNLV a 39-37 win over Hawaii Saturday night. It was the senior placekicker's first career game-winning field goal. With 1:39 remaining, UNLV (4-2, 2-0 Mountain West) started on its own 26-yard line and drove 51 yards in 12 plays to get Kohorst in position to win the game with 5 seconds left on the clock. Hawaii helped on the final drive. On third and 10 at the UNLV 45, the Rebels were held to a three-yard gain, but Trayvon Henderson was flagged for a facemask penalty to give UNLV a first down at the Hawaii 37. The Rebels won a fourth consecutive game for the first time since 2000, while they've now won three straight and five of six at home against the Warriors (0-6, 0-4). UNLV almost gave the game away, as the Warriors scored 20 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to take a one-point lead.
