Dillon Pieffer tied a school record with four field goals as the Rebels returned to Las Vegas after stunning then-No. 14 Wisconsin 23-5 last Saturday.

Pieffer made kicks from 45, 43, 39 and 20 yards. Dorsey scored on a 36-yard run down the right side with 1:46 left in the first half to give UNLV (3-1) the lead for good, 21-14.

The Warriors (1-2) fumbled the ball away three times in the first half, and quarterback Tim Chang, who threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns, was intercepted three times in the second half.

UNLV scored first after Hawai'i punter Kurt Milne fumbled at the Warriors 12. Dyante Perkins finished the short drive with a 1-yard TD run up the middle with 9:26 left in the first quarter.

Hawai'i tied it when a scrambling Chang found Britton Komine open in the end zone with a 38-yard touchdown pass with 2:31 remaining in the first quarter. The Warriors then took a 14-7 lead on Chang’s 8-yard pass to Chad Owens with 9:53 left in the half.

After UNLV’s Ruschard Dodd-Masters returned a fumble caused by Jimaal Brimmer 22 yards to the Hawai'i 16, Perkins scored on a 4-yard run around the left side to make it 14-all 5:36 left.

The Rebels went up 21-14 on Dorsey’s TD run and Pieffer made a 20 yard field goal with 16 seconds left in the half.

Pieffer kicked three field goals in the third quarter and had a chance to break the record in the fourth, but his kick hit the right upright.

Se'e Poumele’s 7-yard touchdown run with 8:44 left in the third cut UNLV’s lead to 27-22, but Pieffer made kicks of 45 and 43 yards.

UNLV quarterback Kurt Nantkes threw for 180 yards with one interception.

The crowd of 34,287 — which included many Warrior fans who made the trip to Las Vegas — was the third largest ever at Sam Boyd Stadium. The two largest were against Wisconsin in 2002 (42,075) and 1996 (40,091).
