Graziano completed 20-of-38 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns, including a 90-yard score to Mike McCoy in the first quarter, and a 15-yarder to Adam Bishop with 3:02 remaining for the Wolf Pack (2-2).
UNLV (2-3) had tied the seesaw battle 20-20 with 1:02 left when Travis Dixon threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Wolfe on fourth-and-10.
The Rebels had one last chance in the closing seconds when Dixon threw 18 yards to Channing Trotter and 15 yards to Wolfe to move to Nevada's 18-yard line. But on the final play, he overthrew two receivers in the end zone and UNLV's offensive line was called for holding as time expired and Wolf Pack fans rushed the field.
Nevada now leads the rivalry series 18-15.
Frank Summers rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown for UNLV and Wolfe caught six passes for 92 yards. Dixon completed 17-of-37 passes for 249 yards.
