LAS VEGAS - The October 11 football game pitting UNLV at Air Force has been selected to be the ESPN+Plus Mountain West Conference Game of the Week, the league announced Monday.

The game will kick off at noon PDT (1 p.m. in Colorado Springs) and appear live locally on KFBT-TV Gold 33 (Cable 6) along with 18 other stations in 15 other states along the regional network. Gary Bender will handle play-by-play while JC Pearson will add his analysis and Anne Marie Anderson will serve as sidelines reporter.

The Rebels (3-1) are off to their best start since 1992 and play their final non-conference game of the season Saturday at Nevada, Reno. The Falcons (5-0) are the only undefeated team in the MWC and are alone in first place with a 2-0 league record. Air Force plays at Navy this weekend. This will mark the third consecutive season that UNLV's game vs. Air Force will be a MWC Game of the Week. All-time, UNLV has a 3-4 record on the network.

The November 8 game vs. San Diego State has already been selected by ESPN+Plus while the October 18 game vs. Utah is still available to be chosen. That selection will be announced a week from today.
