On Saturday night the NAU Lumberjacks stormed into Sam Boyd Stadium and upset the UNLV Rebels 17-14. The game was a hard fought affair and one that NAU actually trailed in 14-0 early in the second quarter. The Lumberjacks however continued to play hard and disciplined and climbed back into the contest thanks to an Austin Shanks 75 yard punt return early in the third quarter and a Zach Bauman touchdown in the fourth quarter. Junior kicker Andy Wilder nailed a 33 yard field goal with 12 second left on the clock. The defense continued to hold on and NAU beat a Football Bowl Subdivision team (FBS – formerly Division 1-A) for the first time in a quarter of a century. Here is the full game summary.
