LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Jonas Lewis rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown to lead San Diego State to a 37-7 victory over UNLV on Saturday in the Mountain West Conference.

The victory ended a two-game losing streak for the Aztecs (4-6, 2-4.) The Rebels (3-7, 1-5) started 2-0 under first-year coach John Robinson, but have since dropped seven of their last eight, including four straight.

San Diego State scored on a safety when Mark Chlumak tackled UNLV running back Jeremi Rudolph in the end zone in the first quarter.

The first play after UNLV's free kick that pinned the Aztecs back at their own 13, Hawley connected with Derrick Lewis for an 87-yard touchdown pass.

Late in the first quarter, Ray hit Duane James for a 16-yard touchdown pass to cut the Aztecs lead to 9-7. The pass capped a five-play, 26-yard drive set up when the Rebels' Dalton Ross blocked a San Diego State punt at the 26.

San Diego State added two more touchdowns in the second half to extend its lead to 23-7. Hawley hit J.R. Tolver on a 14-yard pass and Ned scored on a 1-yard run.
