Rinker kicked a 24-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, but Colandrea directed a 75-yard drive and capped it with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Daejon Reynolds as the Rebels moved back in front 17-16 heading to the fourth.
Villela kicked another 31-yarder at the end of a 10-play drive to up UNLV's lead to four with 11 minutes remaining.
Barnes raced 58 yards for a score to put the Aggies up 23-20 with seven minutes to go, but Villela's 32-yard field goal tied it with 2:18 remaining.
