UNLV will be hosting San Diego State at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday night, and it will do so wearing special helmets to honor the victims of the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
The matte black helmets feature a red ribbon with "Las Vegas" written on it as opposed to the typical team logo.

There were 59 people killed and more than 500 injured when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a concert from his 32nd-floor hotel room on the Las Vegas strip. The death toll from the shooting makes it the largest massacre in United States history.
