LAS VEGAS - UNLV's football game vs. Nevada, Reno on Oct. 2 at Sam Boyd Stadium has been officially set to start at 7 p.m., the school's athletics department announced Friday.

The Rebels and Wolf Pack will square off for the 30th time in history. UNLV has won four straight in the series and will look this season to square the Battle for the Fremont Cannon at 15 wins apiece.

Times for the remaining two home games in 2004 -- vs. New Mexico on Oct. 16 and vs. Wyoming on Nov. 6 -- have yet to be officially announced because of possible television considerations.

UNLV kicks off its home season vs. Air Force on Saturday at 7 p.m. Next week's game vs. Utah State will also start at 7 p.m.
