Gipson's late TD boosts New Mexico over UNLV 31-28

LAS VEGAS -- New Mexico's Teriyon Gipson scored from three yards out with 1:22 left in the game Saturday, lifting New Mexico to a 31-28 win over UNLV. After squandering a 17-7 halftime lead, and falling behind UNLV twice in the second half, the Lobos (3-5, 1/3 Mountain West) escaped with their first conference win of the season after UNLV's Brian McIntyre 's 55-yard field-goal attempt fell just under the crossbar as time expired. McIntyre, a walk-on from Las Vegas' Arbor View High School, was making his first appearance for the Rebels. The Lobos were led on offense by Jhurell Pressley , who ran for 138 yards on 20 carries and three touchdowns. New Mexico quarterback Lamar Jordan finished with a passer rating of 34.6, after completing just 2 of 7 pass attempts.
