Credentials Requests for season and single-game credentials and parking should be faxed or mailed on official letterhead to the Nevada Media Services Office (fax: 775-784-4497) at least 48 hours prior to the event. Space is limited in many of our venues, so credentials will be issued to full-time, salaried journalists from outlets that cover the University of Nevada regularly and substantially or to representatives who regularly and customarily perform services for that outlet. Assigned press box seating for credentialed media is limited and priority is granted to media entities that cover the University of Nevada and to visiting media members. Seating will be assigned on the following basis: (1) originating radio and television personnel involved in a live broadcast, (2) daily newspapers, wire services, and regional and national publications, (3) non-originating radio and television personnel, (4) officially recognized student publications and electronic media outlets and (5) non-daily newspapers and other publications. Due to limited space, credentials will generally not be issued to freelance or amateur writers or photographers without a specific assignment received in writing by the assigning organization. Requests from these individuals will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and granted on a game-by-game basis when space is available at the discretion of the Nevada Media Services Office. Credentials are not transferable and should only be used by media members with a legitimate working function. Non-working individuals from a media outlet, children, spouses, friends, etc., will not be permitted in the media areas. Violation of this policy will result in immediate revocation of credentials.

Interview Policy All interview arrangements must be made through the Nevada Media Services office.

MEDIA PARKING Season parking passes will be assigned for media covering the Wolf Pack on a regular basis. Requests for single-game parking for visiting media and visiting teams should be made as early as possible as parking is limited and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Media parking is located in the West Stadium Parking Complex, which is directly west of Mackay Stadium. The garage can be accessed from Virginia Street. Overflow media parking is behind Lombardi Recreation Building (permit required), which can be accessed from Evans Avenue on the east side of campus.

media guides, headshots, logos and more for each conference and its member schools. Login information will be distributed to accredited media or you can apply for a password by sending an e-mail to: [emailprotected]. Weekly Radio Show Brian Polian’s weekly radio show with Ryan Radtke will run on Wednesday evenings from 7-8 p.m. It is available in Northern Nevada on ESPN Radio 94.5 and an archive will be posted on the Mountain West Network within 24 hours. In addition to Polian, Radtke will interview assistant coaches and players on the show. Postgame Interviews In general, no coaches or student-athletes are available to media on the field or en route to the locker room, with the exception of the live, originating television broadcast if pre-arranged. Nevada’s locker room is closed to the media. Interview requests should be submitted to Chad Hartley of the Nevada Media Services office no later than the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter. Assistant coaches are not available after games. Generally, the Nevada Media Services office will live-stream the post-game press conference via the Mountain West Network and archives will be available shortly after the conclusion of the press conference. For information on receiving a copy of those interviews directly, contact JD Jerome, Digital Media Coordinator, at [emailprotected]. Home games: Postgame interviews will be conducted in the Peteresen Athletic Academic Center (which will also serve as a photographer work area during games). Coach Polian will be available to media after the NCAA’s 10-minute cooling off period, followed by selected studentathletes. Road games: Polian and selected student-athletes will be available outside the visiting locker room or in the designated visiting media interview area after the cooling off period. Media Work Area The Paul R. Stuart Press Box in Mackay Stadium has wireless, ethernet and phone lines available during the game and up to one and half hours after the conclusion of each game. The postgame interview area at the Petersen Athletic Academic Center is similarly equipped. Media may work in either location but are asked to work in the Peteresen location if working more than 90 minutes postgame. The Mackay press box will also serve as a game and media operations location post-game so the Petersen location will likely be a quieter work environment after the conclusion of the press conference. For the complete policies, procedures and services of the Nevada Media Services Office, please call (775) 682-6982.

HISTORY
The Wolf Pack Radio Network will carry every minute of Nevada football action again this season, from the opening kickoff until the final seconds tick off the scoreboard in another bowl game. The Wolf Pack Radio Network is owned and operated by Wolf Pack Sports Properties, a division of Learfield Sports and Seismic Events, manages the marketing, media and promotional rights of the athletics department. In addition to managing rights for more than 40 collegiate properties, Learfield Sports also manages the marketing partnerships for the Black Coaches & Administrators (BCA) and provides exclusive sports programming to more than 1,000 radio stations nationwide. The broadcast team for football games on the Wolf Pack Radio Network is made up of Ryan Radtke, Kevin Grimes and Don Marchand on the 90-minute pre-game show. Radtke is in his 10th season as the play-by-play man for the Wolf Pack. He came to Nevada after a decade at the University of Arizona Radio Network, where he handled pre-game, halftime and post-game shows for football and basketball and was also the secondary play-by-play voice for the Wildcats. For the past 11 seasons, Radtke has been calling Triple-A baseball. The first three for the Tucson Sidewinders Analyst and former Pack player Kevin Grimes (left) alongside the voice of Wolf Pack and last few years for the same franchise in Reno, the Reno football, Ryan Radtke (right). Aces. Radtke will handle the play-by-play duties for Wolf Pack football and men’s basketball. He will also host the weekly coaches’ radio shows for those sports. The analyst for Wolf Pack football games is former standout Kevin Grimes, who enters his second season with the Wolf Pack Radio Network. Grimes was a four-year letter winner for Nevada and a member of the 13-win 2010 team. Grimes played in 52 career games at Nevada with 179 tackles, leading the team to four straight bowl games. Marchand is a familiar voice in Northern Nevada as he’s called Wolf Pack games for more than 20 years during his career. He will engineer the football broadcasts in addition to his role as the voice of women’s basketball and Wolf Pack baseball. “We are delighted to be able to put together such a talented and experienced broadcast team. Wolf Pack fans will really enjoy the enthusiasm, professionalism and excitement that this team will bring to our radio and television broadcasts,” Nevada Deputy Athletics Director Rory Hickok said. The Wolf Pack Coaches Show will be broadcast live at 7 p.m. on ESPN Radio 94.5 FM in Northern Nevada alongside KPLY 630 AM. A replay will be available the following day on NevadaWolfPack.TV, the Wolf Pack’s home on the Mountain West Network. The show can also be heard live on KUUB 94.3 FM in Carson City. Head coach Brian Polian will join Radtke for the hour-long show each week. Coach Polian will recap the Wolf Pack’s previous game and look ahead to the next opponent. The show, now in its seventh season, will also feature interviews with Wolf Pack assistant coaches and student-athletes.

2016-17 MOUNTAIN WESt BIOGRAPHY THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN WEST From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 18th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements during its first 17 years, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. In the inaugural year of the new College Football Playoff system, Boise State earned the automatic slot into a New Year’s Six bowl game as the highest-ranked champion from the Group of Five 5 conferences. The Broncos defeated then 10th-ranked Arizona 38-30 in the VIZIO Fiesta Bowl. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the-art basketball instant replay system. Changes in the NCAA governance structure set the table for another Conference first, when two members of the MW Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) were included in the June 2014 meeting of the Mountain West Board of Directors. New Mexico track and field athlete Kendall Spencer, the national chair of the 2014-15 NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and Air Force Academy volleyball player Emma Dridge joined the BOD members in this historic meeting to advance the discussion on student-athlete involvement in the NCAA and MW governance structure. During the last two academic years, MW student-athletes participated on monthly membership calls and have joined MW administrators in the annual Joint Council Spring Meetings in Arizona.
The Mountain West is well-represented within the new NCAA governance structure, including individuals who were appointed to serve on committees tasked with managing the day-to-day business of Division I athletics. San Diego State President Elliot Hirshman currently sits on the DI Board of Directors, while MW Commissioner Craig Thompson and New Mexico Director of Athletics Paul Krebs are members of the DI Council. Kendall Spencer, the former chair of the DI Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and UNM track & field athlete, was the first student-athlete in the history of the organization to serve on the Division I Board. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With UNLV’s Anthony Bennett claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Mountain West is one of three conferences to have multiple No. 1 NBA draft selections since 2000. Also, with San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg earning the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders five MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico and Utah State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central, Southern and Northern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean, while the addition of the women’s soccer program at Colorado College gives the MW an additional presence in the Rocky Mountains.

Lester Erb enters his fourth season as a member of the Nevada football coaching staff and his first as the Wolf Pack’s associate head coach and wide receivers coach. With 20 years of experience as an assistant coach in the FBS, Erb is second in command on head coach Brian Polian’s staff.
COACHES & STAFF
Erb was hired at Nevada on March 25, 2013, bringing with him a reputation as one of the top assistants in football with FBS experience – which included stops at Iowa, Army and Syracuse – and NFL experience. Erb spent his first three seasons at Nevada as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach, leading two of the program’s most successful position groups. Erb was then promoted to assistant head coach and wide receivers coach following the 2015 campaign. Erb’s third season at Nevada was perhaps his best in Reno, as he coached the top tandem at running back in the nation and arguably the best special teams unites in the Mountain West. Erb’s work helped Nevada post a 7-6 record with a victory in the 2015 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, which marked Nevada’s fifth all-time bowl win.
STATISTICS
Sophomore James Butler and senior Don Jackson each eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in 2015, becoming only the third duo at running back to each rush for 1,000 yards in the same season in program history. Nevada was the only team in the nation with two 1,000-yard running backs in the 2015 regular season. Nevada averaged 210 rushing yards per game, which ranked in the top 25 in the FBS. Nevada eclipsed 200 yards rushing in eight games and was 7-1 when doing so. Butler went on to earn All-Mountain West honorable mention honors. The Wolf Pack also excelled on special teams in 2015 behind Erb’s assistance. Junior PK Brent Zuzo made 17-of-19 field goal attempts, ranking fourth in the nation in FG percentage while earning second team All-MW honors. Junior P Alex Boy also improved his career average to 43.1 yards per punt, which ranks second in program history. Additionally, junior CB Elijah Mitchell ranked third in the league with a 26.44 kickoff return average.
RECORD BOOK
Erb’s second season at Nevada was also highly successful as the Wolf Pack’s running backs and special team play was among the best in the Mountain West. Erb’s backs helped Nevada average over 200 rushing yards per game for the seventh time in the past nine seasons, while his special teams ranked in the top four in the Mountain West in punt return, kickoff return, punting and field goals. Erb coached one of the best one-two punches at running back in the league. Jackson ran 216 times for 957 yards and seven scores, while freshman Butler – who Erb recruited to Nevada out of Chicago despite numerous FBS offers – ran 140 times for 635 yards and four touchdowns in his rookie season. Jackson and Butler helped Nevada rank fifth in the MW in rushing offense while the Pack only lost five fumbles all season, ranking 10th in the nation.
HISTORY
In his first season at Nevada, Erb’s special teams experience made an immediate impact on the program in 2014. The Pack’s special teams coverage ranked in the top half of Division I, while Boy and Zuzo enjoyed successful seasons in their rookie campaigns. Boy was named to the All-MW second team after leading the league and ranking 11th in the nation with 44.3 yards per punt. Meanwhile, Zuzo made 14-of-18 field goals and went 43-of-45 on PATs.

In his first season working with the Iowa running backs in 2008, Erb coached Greene to the Doak Walker Award and consensus All-American honors while being named the Offensive Player of the Year in the Big Ten Conference. He rushed for 1,850 yards to set an Iowa single-season rushing mark and was the only running back in the nation to surpass 100 yards in every game during the season. In 2009, Iowa’s two freshmen running backs combined to rush for 1,475 yards and 13 touchdowns as Iowa posted an 11-2 overall record, placing second in the Big Ten and winning the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl. Erb was also an integral part of special teams in Iowa City as the Hawkeyes led the Big Ten and ranked 25th in the nation in net punting in 2011. The Hawkeyes ranked third in the Big Ten in net punting in 2010 after ranking fourth in 2009, third in 2008 and second in 2007. Iowa allowed just 4.6 yards on punt returns to rank ninth in the nation in 2011. In 2010, Iowa ranked sixth in the nation in punt coverage (3.9) and 12th in kickoff returns (25.3). Senior punter Ryan Donahue was a finalist for the Ray Guy Punter of the Year award in 2010. Erb coached kicker Nate Kaeding to first team All-America honors in both 2002 and 2003. Kaeding was named winner of the 2002 Lou Groza Placekicker of the Year award and was one of three finalists for the award in 2003. A coach at the college and NFL levels for more than 20 years overall, Erb’s career began in 1991 when he started a three-year tenure at Hobart College coaching wide receivers. He then moved on to three seasons at Syracuse, where he assisted with the offensive line and scout team preparation while earning a master’s degree. In 1997, Erb went to the NFL where he spend the first of two seasons working with the Baltimore Ravens. While there, he worked alongside Kirk Ferentz, who would later bring Erb to Iowa. Erb coached tight ends at Army in 1999 before moving on to Iowa. Erb was a standout receiver at Bucknell University, where he set records for touchdown receptions in a season and career. He set a school record for average yards per catch in a single game when he averaged 33.7 yards on six catches vs. Fordham. His 902 receiving yards in 1989 ranks second best all-time at Bucknell. He ranks fifth in career all-purpose yards (3,286) and was Bucknell’s Most Valuable Player as a senior in 1990. He earned his B.A. in business administration from Bucknell and his M.A. in high educational administration from Syracuse.

defense helped the team post a 7-6 record with a trip to the 2014 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
Boone has improved Nevada’s scoring defense in his first two seasons on the job, while the Pack is one of just 24 teams in the FBS to have lowered its points allowed margin in two straight years. Boone lowered Nevada’s scoring defense by nearly seven full points to 27.2 in his first season before setting the bar higher with a 26.8 average in year two. Head coach Brian Polian tabbed Boone as Nevada’s defensive coordinator on Feb. 24, 2014. Boone arrived in Reno after being a finalist for the 2013 FCS Coordinator of the Year Award at William & Mary. Now in his third season with the Wolf Pack, Boone boasts a 33year coaching career and a reputation for being an elite coordinator in both the FCS and FBS ranks.
Three-sport starter in football (wide receiver), basketball (guard) and baseball (centerfielder)
Boone coached five student-athletes to All-Mountain West honors in 2014. Senior DE Brock Hekking and Seau, who ranked fourth in the MW in sacks per game, were named to the all-conference second team. Senior LB Jonathan McNeal, senior CB Charles Garrett and junior DE Rykeem Yates earned honorable mention honors. Boone came to Nevada after a successful 10-year tenure at William and Mary, where he was a finalist for the FCS Coordinator of the Year award after guiding the Tribe defense to No. 2 in the nation in scoring defense and No. 8 nationally in total defense along with the 15th spot in third-down defense in the FCS. A veteran coach with more than 30 years of experience, Boone was William and Mary’s defensive coordinator for three seasons and the linebackers coach for seven years. He also coached defensive backs for three seasons with the Tribe.
Boone immediately had an impact at Nevada in his first year on the job. After averaging 34.4 points and 505.3 yards allowed per game in 2013, Boone’s inaugural Wolf Pack defense improved to 27.2 points and 447.1 yards allowed. Boone set the bar even higher in year two, as Nevada improved to just 405 yards and 26.8 points allowed per game.
In addition to the national rankings, William and Mary led the Colonial Athletic Association in total defense (305.1 ypg), scoring defense (14.0 ppg) and third-down defense (33 percent). The Tribe was second in the Colonial in rushing defense at 117.7 yards per game allowed and also finished second in passing defense at 187.4 yards per game.
Boone’s efforts in the 2015 season culminated with a victory in the inaugural NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, which marked Nevada’s fifth all-time bowl victory. Behind a veteran and improved defense, Nevada posted a 7-6 record on the season, marking the second straight year Nevada has posted a winning record and reached a bowl game.
Prior to his seven seasons at William and Mary, Boone was the head coach for seven seasons at Randolph-Macon, compiling a record of 37-33, including a 22-18 ledger in conference action. In 1997, Boone guided the Yellow Jackets to a share of the ODAC title, going 4-1 in league play and 8-2 overall, and garnered Richmond Touchdown Club and VaSID Small College Coach of the Year honors.
Last season, Boone’s defense improved in total defense and scoring defense, and grabbed 13 interceptions and recovered eight fumbles to help Nevada rank 15th in the nation in turnover margin. Boone helped senior defensive end Ian Seau, who led the conference and ranked 19th in the nation with 10.0 sacks, earn first team All-Mountain West honors. Senior defensive end Lenny Jones also earned second team All-MW accolades with 47 tackles and seven sacks. Boone’s development of true freshman defensive back Dameon Baber also made a big impact, as Baber ranked seventh in the nation with six interceptions on the season en route to earning All-MW honors.
While at RMC, Boone coached 34 players to First-Team All-ODAC honors in his seven seasons. Also, 14 team and individual school records were broken under Boone. Prior to his stint at RMC, Boone was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind., from 1983 to 1996. In Boone’s 14 years as an assistant, Wabash posted an 81-38-2 record.
In Boone’s first season at Nevada, the team improved statistically in scoring defense, rushing defense, total defense, sacks, tackles for loss, interceptions, fumbles recovered, third down and red zone defense. Part of Boone’s and Nevada’s mantra in 2014 was recovering turnovers as the Pack ranked 11th nationally in turnover margin. Boone’s defense ranked first in the conference in turnover margin and fumbles recovered while ranking fourth in interceptions. Boone’s

Mike Bradeson returns for the seventh year of his second tenure in Reno and the veteran coach will remain in familiar territory as Nevada’s recruiting coordinator and safeties coach. Bradeson is the most experienced coach on third-year head coach Brian Polian’s staff, entering his 13th season overall at Nevada. Bradeson is entering his 24th season coaching in collegiate football. He’s been coaching Nevada’s safeties since 2010 and is also entering his third year as the team’s recruiting coordinator in his second stint with the Pack. Prior to two coaching stops before his second stint at Nevada, Bradeson served as a recruiting coordinator, safeties and special teams coach at Nevada from 1986-91. Two freshmen shined for Bradeson and the Wolf Pack in 2015 as safeties Asauni Rufus and Dameon Baber excelled and gained valuable experience for the future. Rufus recorded an interception and led the team with 105 tackles while Baber earned All-Mountain West second team honors after collecting 65 tackles and finishing second in the MW with six interceptions in only 10 games. Senior Jaden Sawyer and redshirt freshman Riley Brand will add depth to the secondary for Nevada in 2016. In 2014, Bradeson helped the Wolf Pack post a 7-6 record and reach a bowl game for the ninth time in the past 10 seasons. Nevada defeated a Pac-12 opponent, rallied past BYU on the road and returned the Fremont Cannon to Reno with a blowout victory over rivals UNLV. Bradeson coached a pair of safeties in senior Nigel Haikins and junior Duran Workman, who combined for 23-of-26 starts at safety in 2014. Haikins – who was named to the Hampshire Honor Society after graduation – ranked fourth on the team with 76 tackles. Haikins recorded three interceptions and three fumble recoveries while Workman tallied three picks and two forced fumbles, as Bradeson’s safeties helped Nevada rank 11th in the nation in turnover margin last season. The Wolf Pack defense improved in scoring defense, rushing defense, total defense, interceptions and fumbles recovered in 2014, bolstered by Haikins and Workman’s play at safety. In addition to retaining his role as a safeties coach, Bradeson was promoted to the Pack’s recruiting coordinator in 2013 – head coach Brian Polian’s first season at the helm of the program. Bradeson will guide Nevada’s recruiting efforts while focusing his personal recruiting area to Las Vegas and the Bay Area – to key pipelines for Nevada’s success. Bradeson mentored a young croup of safeties into a veteran unit in 2012 with multi-year starters Duke Williams and Marlon Johnson. Both Johnson and Williams were among the team leaders in tackles from 2012-2010. Williams recorded 295 stops in his career, which is sixthbest in Nevada history. Johnson provided one of the biggest highlights of the historic 2010 season with his 65-yard interception return for a touchdown that was a pivotal play in the win over Cal.

Frank Hawkins
When talking about the past success of Nevada football, one name comes to mind: Chris Ault. With the winningest record in Nevada history and eight Coach-ofthe-Year awards to his credit, there is a little doubt that Coach Ault built the foundation for Wolf Pack football. Ault started his career at Nevada as a student and a quarterback where he earned All-Far Western Conference honors three years (1965-1967). After being an assistant coach at UNLV for a short period of time, Ault returned to his alma mater as the Wolf Pack head coach in 1976. After 28 seasons in three stints as Nevada’s head coach, Ault has acquired a career record of 233-109-1 record and eight conference titles. He was voted coach of the year eight times, including two National I-AA coaching honors. Ault, who was voted Coach of the Century for northern Nevada by the Reno Gazette-Journal in 1998, stepped down from his head coaching post following the 2012 season and moved on to a role in the NFL.
In the 1990s, the Nevada Wolf Pack football team was known for its prolific passing attack, but one of the greatest careers in Nevada football history came from a running back. Frank Hawkins, originally from Las Vegas, came to the Wolf Pack in 1977 and over the next four years, broke five university records, including single-season marks for rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a season. He also holds the top two singleseason rushing performances in school history. After his career was all said and done, Hawkins was the NCAA’s third all-time rushing leader with 5,333 yards and was a three-time first-team All-American. After his great career with the Wolf Pack, Hawkins went on to play seven years with the Oakland Raiders and was part of the 1984 Super Bowl championship team.

HISTORY
As part of Nevada’s celebration of 100 years of intercollegiate athletics in 1998, a football “Team of the Century” was selected. The selecting process included three official committees, starting with five separate nominating committees representing the different eras in Wolf Pack history (1898-1939, 1940-1959, 1960-1979, 1980-89, 1990-98). A research committee worked simultaneously with the selection committees to verify the accuracy of the nomination and then turned its finding over to an eight-member selection committee for the task of electing the team members.

Arizona Stadium – Tucson, Ariz. Attendance: 20,425
Colorado St.
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Sophomore James Butler scored the game-winning touchdown with just 66 seconds remaining and Nevada won the inaugural NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl with a 28-23 victory over Colorado State on Tuesday evening at Arizona Stadium.
TEAM INFO
The Wolf Pack led for the majority of the game before Colorado State connected on a 39-yard field goal to lead by one with just over three minutes remaining. Nevada then drove 72 yards in just eight plays to tally the go-ahead score before holding on late for a thrilling victory. Butler rushed 24 times for 189 yards and two touchdowns, being named Arizona Bowl Offensive Most Valuable Player while setting a program bowl record in total rushing yards. Senior DE Ian Seau posted five tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack and one forced fumble to be named Arizona Bowl Defensive Most Valuable Player. Nevada tallies its fifth bowl victory in program history and its first since the 2010 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. The Pack closes the season with a 7-6 overall record, marking the sixth winning campaign in the past seven seasons. Colorado State also closed the year with a 7-6 record.
PLAYERS
The Wolf Pack scored the bowl game’s first points after Seau tallied his fifth forced fumble of the season, leading to a 19-yard Zuzo field goal. Nevada then took a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter on a Zuzo’s 39-yard field goal. The rest of the first half consisted of fireworks as the teams combined to score on their last five possessions of the second quarter. A 39-yard pass down to the one-

On the second play of Nevada’s ensuing drive, the line opened a big hole for Butler, who sprinted 77 yards to the end zone to make it 13-7 with 6:38 to play. The Rams pulled within three points with a 20-yard field goal on their next drive. Junior CB Elijah Mitchell then brought the crowd to their feet with an electric 96yard kickoff return for a touchdown, making it 19-10 with 1:33 left in the quarter. Colorado State drove down for a late field to make it 19-13 at halftime. Nevada drove 12 plays and 53 yards in its opening drive of the second half before Zuzo drilled a 40-yard field goal. Colorado State then pulled within two points, as Jasen Oden scored a nine-yard touchdown rush to make it 22-20 with 3:55 left in the third. The Rams then took the lead late in the fourth quarter with a 38-yard field goal, pulling in front by a 23-22 margin with just 3:40 left to play. With the game on the line and all the chips on the table, Nevada came up clutch with a historic scoring drive. Eight plays, 73 yards in just under two-and-a-half minutes. Butler opened with a 15-yard rush before Stewart added a 14-yard rush on the next play to enter Ram territory. After a one-yard rush, Stewart hit Hasaan Henderson for a 22-yard gain and Butler added another 13-yard rush, and just like that, Nevada was down to the seven-yard line. After a no-yard gain and three-yard rush followed by Colorado State timeouts, Butler rushed up the middle and found pay dirt for the winning score -- a fouryard rush with 66 seconds remaining to make it 28-23.

Mercedes-Benz Superdome – New Orleans, La. Attendance: 34,014
Hunter Stover made a career-long 46-yard field goal in the first half and added kicks of 35 and 30 yards for the Ragin’ Cajuns (9-4), who completed their fourth consecutive nine-victory season with their fourth straight New Orleans Bowl win. Cody Fajardo passed for 124 yards and rushed for 49 more for Nevada (7-6), marking the second time he’d passed for more than 2,000 yards and rushed for more than 1,000 in a season.
Demps’ fumble came early in the second quarter on a hit by Sean Thomas, and the ball was recovered by Cajuns linebacker Dominique Tovell at the 11. Demps’ false start later in the quarter moved Nevada back to the ULL 6. Then the Cajuns stuffed a running play and forced two incompletions before Nevada settled for a field goal. Fajardo was 14 of 29, and his incompletions included a pair of key fourth-down passes in the fourth quarter. Both quarterbacks were sacked four times. Broadway’s fast start helped keep Fajardo on the sideline but didn’t amount to many points. The Cajuns scored their only touchdown on their opening possession, capped by Broadway’s 17-yard pass to C.J. Bates. Stover’s first field goal was the only other ULL score in the opening half. Broadway’s first incompletion didn’t come until 44 seconds remained in the first half, when the Cajuns were on the edge of field goal range. But Brock Hekking’s sack of Broadway took ULL out of range, and Broadway’s second incompletion came next as he threw for the end zone as time expired. Broadway was picked as the game’s most valuable player.
But the Wolf Pack, who had 200 or more yards rushing in each of their previous five games, gained only 89 yards on the ground against ULL and failed to score a touchdown for the first time since being shut out at Notre Dame in 2009.

TEAM INFO
Nevada’s defense gave up only one touchdown while forcing four field goal attempts - one of which was missed - but otherwise had a hard time preventing Cajuns quarterback Terrence Broadway from completing passes. ULL had a sizable advantage in yardage (411-213) and time of possession (36:54 to 23:06). Broadway became the first quarterback to complete his first 14 passes in an NCAA Division I bowl game and finished 26 of 31 for 227 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.

Nevada failed to reach the end zone for the first time in six seasons and lost 16-3 on Saturday, Dec. 20. Freshman receiver Wyatt Demps fumbled just inside the Ragin’ Cajuns 10-yard line and later was called for a false start on first-and-goal at the 1.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Matt Scott threw two short touchdown passes in the final 46 seconds and college football’s postseason started with a wild one when Arizona rallied past Nevada 49-48 Saturday in the New Mexico Bowl.
TEAM INFO
Overcoming a slow start and three big turnovers, Arizona (8-5) recovered an onside kick in the last minute, setting up Scott’s 2-yard toss to Tyler Slavin with 19 seconds left for the winning score. Arizona trailed 21-0 in the first quarter and was down 45-28 entering the final period. Scott threw for 382 yards and marched his team back into the game despite two earlier interceptions. The nation’s rushing leader, Ka’Deem Carey, gained 172 yards for the Wildcats and but fell short of becoming only the 16th running back in NCAA history to reach 2,000 yards in a season. The teams combined for 1,237 total yards, the second most of any bowl game in history at the time.

COACHES & STAFF Scoring Summary
Stefphon Jefferson, the nation’s second-leading rusher, ran for 180 yards for Nevada and also seemed unstoppable as the Wolf Pack took a big lead and held on to it for most of the game. But after forcing Nevada to kick a field goal with 1:48 left that made it 48-35, Scott drove the Wildcats 75 yards. Arizona then recovered an onside kick and Scott moved Arizona into the end zone after three plays and 51 yards. Rich Rodriguez, in his first season as Arizona head coach, is now 3-5 in bowl game appearances. With 180 yards on 34 carries, Jefferson set the Nevada and Mountain West record for most rushing yards in a single season. He passed Chance Kretschmer (2001) at Nevada and Ronnie Hillman (SDSU, 2011) for the Mountain West mark. Jefferson finished the year with 1,883 yards on the ground and will likely finish second in the nation behind Ka’Deem Carey of Arizona.

HONOLULU (AP) - Austin Davis made the plays when it counted to send Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora out a winner. Davis threw two touchdowns, including a 4-yarder late in the game, and No. 22 Southern Miss earned a school-record 12th victory by holding off Nevada 24-17 in the Hawaii Bowl on Saturday night. “It wasn’t his best game, but he did enough to help us win this football game,” said Fedora, who is leaving after four seasons to take over at North Carolina. Davis overcame a shaky game for the Conference USA-champion Golden Eagles (12-2), and the defense in the second half managed to shut down Nevada’s potent pistol attack led by Lampford Mark. “I thought we struggled the entire game offensively. We made a few big plays at the end, but really the defense, these guys were special and they’ve done that all year,” Davis said. “We made a play or two on offense when we needed to.” Davis was off most of the night but made it count on the game-winning drive. On third-and-goal, he scrambled right and found Kelvin Bolden for the 4-yard score, capping a seven-play, 68-yard drive. He had just 59 yard passing at halftime and finished 18 of 41 for 165 yards. On the winning drive, Davis was 3 of 4 for 66 yards, including a 43-yard completion to Dominique Sullivan down the right sideline and a 19-yarder to a crossing William Spight. Sullivan had five catches for 75 yards. With Davis held in check, the Golden Eagles relied on their defense, stopping Mark on fourth-and-1 at midfield with 3:56 left. Mark had 183 yards rushing for the Wolf Pack (7-6) but was held to just 21 yards in the second half. “Our offense in the second half - our offensive front just didn’t get it done at all and I was really disappointed in that aspect of it. We got stopped on two fourthand-1s,” Wolf Pack coach Chris Ault said. Nevada was without its top receiver, Rishard Matthews, who has 91 receptions for 1,364 yards and eight TDs. The game featured a Hawaii Bowl-record 17 punt, and the 41 combined points was the fewest in bowl history. Cody Fajardo was 8 of 19 for 60 yards for Nevada. He also was held to just 14 yards rushing on nine carries before being replaced by Tyler Lantrip. The Golden Eagles got another big win after capturing their fifth C-USA title by upsetting previously unbeaten Houston 49-28 in the conference championship game. This was the first 10-win season for Southern Miss since 1988. “I couldn’t be more proud of this football team and what this team has accomplished. To be conference champs and Hawaii Bowl champs is tremendous,” Nevada tied the game 17-all late in the third quarter on a 37-yard field goal by Allen Hardison, taking advantage of a miscue by Southern Miss. Tracey Lampley
Fedora said. waved for a fair catch on a punt and was run into by teammate Alex Smith. The ball bounced off Lampley’s left leg and Nevada’s Brandon Marshall recovered on the Southern Miss 14, leading to the field goal. Just as Nevada seemed to take control of the game, Southern Miss scored 10 points in the final 1 1/2 minutes of the first half to take a 17-14 lead into the break. “That was big. I felt like we played so bad, but we were winning at halftime and that’s a credit to how well our defense was playing and our special teams,” Davis said. “Our special teams has made an unbelievable difference in our season this year. It seems like every time we needed it, they managed to come up with a game-changing play.” Mark’s 45-yard run gave the Wolf Pack a 14-7 lead with about 5 minutes left in the half, and Nevada took the ball right back on the ensuing kickoff. Lorenzo Devers returned the kickoff 61 yards and appeared to be heading for a touchdown. After shedding the kicker, Devers was stripped from behind by Khalid Wooten and Thaddeus Brown returned it 16 yards to the Nevada 36. But the team from Reno gambled and ended up turning it over on downs on its own 45 when Mark was stopped short on fourth-and-1. That led to a 48-yard field goal by Hrappman with 1:21 left in the half. “We worked so hard, all the weeks and weeks of preparation. It doesn’t feel right not winning,” Mark said. On the kickoff, Wooten fumbled and Southern Mississippi’s Emmanuel Johnson recovered at the Nevada 24. Seven plays later, Davis threw a 2-yard pass to Lampley in the back of the end zone for the go-ahead score. A brief scuffle broke out between some of the players after the catch, but no one was ejected. With both teams struggling to get going, special teams got the Golden Eagles on the scoreboard from a blocked punt by Tim Green early in the second quarter. Green burst through the middle and leaped in the air, getting his hand on the ball as he flipped over a blocker. Tray Becton-Martin then dropped on the ball in the end zone, giving the Golden Eagles a 7-0 lead. Becton-Martin is the 25th different player to score for the Golden Eagles this year, which leads the nation. Nevada answered with a 5-yard touchdown run by Mark, who had a 25-yard scamper to begin the 81-yard drive. Mark had 41 yards rushing on the drive, giving him 112 yards and his sixth-straight game with 100 or more. Both teams blew good scoring opportunities in the first quarter. Mark burst up the middle for 43 yards and was chased down from behind by Presley, getting Nevada inside the red zone. But Fajardo’s pass on third down was tipped and intercepted in the end zone by Jacorius Cotton.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Rishard Matthews caught a touchdown pass and returned a punt for another score, and No. 13 Nevada used a strong defensive effort to cap its most successful season ever at college football’s highest level by beating Boston College 20-13 in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Sunday night. Colin Kaepernick threw for 192 yards and a touchdown for the Wolf Pack (13-1), who snapped a four-game bowl losing streak by tying a school record for wins in a season set when it played in what used to be Division I-AA. This game matched BC’s top-ranked rushing defense against Nevada’s high-powered pistol attack that was third in the nation in rushing. The Eagles (7-6) did a good job controlling the Wolf Pack on the ground, holding them to a season-low 114 yards - more than 190 below their season average. Kaepernick was held to 22 yards on nine carries, but managed to top 3,000 yards passing for the season. That allowed him to join Brad Smith and Vince Young as the only FBS quarterbacks to rush for at least 1,000 yards and throw for 3,000 in the same season. With an efficient passing day by Kaepernick, the big plays from Matthews and a stout defense, the Wolf Pack were able to snap Boston College’s five-game winning streak. The Eagles were held to 185 yards. Freshman Chase Rettig completed 14 of 34 passes for 121 yards and two interceptions. Boston College played without leading rusher Montel Harris, who was listed as the starter but did not play after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in late November. The teams traded field goals in the third quarter, giving Nevada a 20-10 lead heading into the fourth. Boston College was unable to capitalize on an interception that Luke Kuechly returned to the Wolf Pack 6. But two runs netted just a yard and Rettig threw an incompletion on third down, forcing the kick. After Nevada’s field goal late in the third, Rettig’s was intercepted by

Marlon Johnson on a deflected ball that gave Nevada the ball at the BC 41. Vai Taua fumbled the ball right back but once again the Eagles were unable to take advantage. Helped by a pair of pass interference penalties, BC got a 32-yard field goal from Nate Freese with 3:52 to play to make it 20-13. The Eagles got the ball back at their 10 with 3:06 to go and got a 32-yard pass from Rettig to Chris Pantale on their first play. Two plays later Khalid Wooten intercepted a pass to seal the win and send the thousands of Nevada fans who drove a few hours from Reno home happy. The Wolf Pack sold about 15,500 tickets, surpassing California and Navy for the most sold in the nine-year history of this game. The attendance of 41,063 was the second largest for the bowl. It included one streaker, who ran on the field in the fourth quarter, causing a brief delay. After an early fumble by Kaepernick led to a 30-yard touchdown run by Andre Williams, Matthews provided the Nevada fans plenty to cheer about in the first half. First, Matthews got behind the defense as Kaepernick scrambled to his left. Kaepernick then flicked a pass toward the end zone for an easy 27-yard score that tied the game for Nevada. The Wolf Pack then held the Eagles to a three-and-out on the next possession and Matthews returned the punt 72 yards to make it 14-7. That was Nevada’s first punt return for a score since Oct. 13, 2001. Nevada added a late 32-yard field goal by Anthony Martinez to take a 10-point lead at the half. The game was sponsored by Kraft, which is using the bowl to promote its efforts to fight hunger in the United States. Instead of a coin for the opening toss, officials tossed an Oreo cookie that was chocolate on one side and vanilla on the other.

HONOLULU, HAWAII (AP) -Freshman Kyle Padron threw for an SMUrecord 460 yards, leading the Mustangs to a 45-10 victory over Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl on Thursday night - SMU’s first postseason appearance in 25 years. The 18-year-old Padron, who was 32 of 41 and completed two touchdown passes, was confident and composed on the biggest stage of his career. He earned the starting job after Bo Levi Mitchell was injured in the seventh game of the season and was largely unknown coming out of Southlake Carroll in Texas, which produced quarterbacks Chase Daniel and Greg McElroy. Despite the tiny crowd at the game, people are paying attention to Padron - and SMU. The Mustangs (8-5), who were 1-11 the previous two years, have their most victories since their last postseason game - also in Hawaii. SMU beat Notre Dame 27-20 in the 1984 Aloha Bowl to finish 10-2. Shawnbrey McNeal added 63 yards rushing and three touchdowns, including two in the first quarter. He also had seven catches for 53 yards. The loss was the fourth straight in the postseason for the Wolf Pack (85), whose No. 1 rushing offense in the nation was grounded. While SMU racked up 534 yards of offense, Nevada had held to just 314, including 137 yards rushing. The Wolf Pack averaged 362.3 yards rushing during the regular season and is the first team in NCAA history to have three 1,000-yard rushers. But Nevada was without two of them in running backs Vai Taua and Luke Lippincott. Taua was ruled academically ineligible and Lippincott was sidelined with a toe injury.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Da’Rel Scott got out of the doghouse in time to run over Nevada. Benched for 2 1/2 quarters for breaking curfew, Scott ran for 174 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns in 14 carries and Maryland held off the Wolf Pack 42-35 in the Humanitarian Bowl on Tuesday. Scott’s 49-yard touchdown sprint early in the fourth quarter broke a 28-all tie and his 2-yard TD gallop put the Terps up 14 points. Colin Kaepernick kept Nevada (7-6) close, finishing 24-for-47 for a bowl-record 370 yards and three touchdowns. Kaepernick and Nevada capitalized on a pair of mistakes by Maryland quarterback Chris Turner to pull even. Nevada’s Jonathon Amaya intercepted Turner near midfield midway through the third quarter and returned it to the Maryland 22. Three plays later, Kaepernick hit Vai Taua behind the Maryland secondary for a 17-yard TD score to get the Wolf Pack to 28-21. Turner was hit as he attempted to throw a screen at the Nevada 20. The throw went backward and Nate Agaiava recovered for the Wolf Pack. Kaepernick needed only five plays and less than two minutes to draw even, hitting Marko Mitchell on a 21-yard TD. The tie lasted only a couple of minutes. Turner hit Torrey Scott for 26 yards on third down, and two plays later Scott ran for his seventh touchdown of the season. Kaepernick added a 15-yard touchdown run with 2:19 left, but Maryland recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Paul Baker ran for 167 yards in his first start, and Donovan Porterie threw for career-high 354 yards and two touchdowns to help New Mexico beat Nevada 23-0 in the New Mexico Bowl. The Lobos (9-4) ended a 46-year skid without a postseason victory and gave 10th-year coach Rocky Long his first bowl win in five tries. New Mexico’s defense also delivered just the second shutout loss for Nevada’s Hall of Fame coach, Chris Ault. The Wolf Pack (6-7) hadn’t gone scoreless since losing 10-0 to Weber State on Sept. 27, 1980, a span of 329 games - the longest current streak in college football and the second longest in history. It was New Mexico’s first bowl victory since beating Western Michigan 28-12 in the 1961 Aviation Bowl at Dayton, Ohio. The Lobos also notched a nine-win season for just the fourth time in school history. Much of the credit goes to New Mexico’s defenders, who pestered redshirt freshman quarterback Colin Kaepernick all afternoon. The Wolf Pack averaged 36.2 points and 488.9 yards during the season. Nevada logged 23 scoring plays that covered at least 25 yards - second only to Oklahoma’s 25 big-play TDs. Nevada had 210 total yards, with only 73 yards rushing. On a chilly day, with the temperature at kickoff 34 degrees, Kaepernick finished 13-of-31 for 137 yards. He had 10 carries for 40 yards rushing.

BOISE, Idaho – Kirby Freeman threw for 272 yards and two long touchdowns, ran for another score and the Hurricanes’ defense came through in the final moments to help Miami beat Nevada 21-20 in the MPC Computers Bowl, Larry Coker’s final game at Miami. Nevada had a first down at the Miami 36 in the final minute, but a diving interception by the Hurricanes’ Chavez Grant with 18 seconds left sealed the win and got Coker the perfect sendoff that his players wanted. Jeff Rowe threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Marko Mitchell, and Brett Jaekle kicked four field goals for Nevada, including 44- and 40-yarders in the fourth quarter to get Nevada within a point. But the Wolf Pack got no closer, thanks largely to Grant’s heroics at the end. Rowe was 20-of-31 for 192 yards for Nevada, which was making its first back-to-back bowl appearances since 1995-96, and Robert Hubbard had 60 yards on 20 carries. Down by seven entering the final quarter against the fifth-ranked defense in the country, Nevada nearly pulled off a comeback -- and may have been denied a great scoring opportunity by a call that didn’t go its way. Facing a third-and-10 from the Miami 28, Rowe dropped back to throw to Anthony Pudewell inside the Miami 10. Pudewell was hit by Kenny Phillips as he tried to catch the ball, which bounced in the air. Replays appeared to show that Pudewell trapped the ball between his knees before it hit the turf, but officials ruled it incomplete and the Wolf Pack settled for a field goal.

Nevada made its first bowl appearance in 10 years a memorable one, spoiling Central Florida’s bowl debut with a thrilling 49-48 overtime victory in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. Nevada junior quarterback Jeff Rowe scored on a 4-yard naked bootleg in overtime to lead Nevada to the win. Senior B.J. Mitchell ran for 178 yards and two touchdowns, and junior Robert Hubbard had 126 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Wolf Pack, which turned in its best season since 1996. UCF kicker Matt Prater booted a 46-yard field goal with 1:32 left to draw UCF to 42-35, and the Golden Knights recovered the onside kick with no timeouts left to set up Brandon Marshall’s dramatic 16-yard TD catch that sent the game into overtime. Trailing 32-28, the Wolf Pack took the lead on Hubbard’s 5-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Nevada scored again on Rowe’s 7-yard scoring pass to Travis Branzell for a 42-32 lead with 3:18 remaining. Kevin Smith scored on a 19 yard run to tie the game at 48 but Prater, who had three field goals during the game, missed the game-tying extra point wide right, giving the Wolf Pack the win.

In what had been billed as another wide-open scoring affair, the defenses rose to the occasion on a cold night in Las Vegas and the Wolf Pack outlasted the Cardinals 18-15 to claim the win. John Dutton completed 11 of his first 13 passes as Nevada forged out to a 9-0 lead after the first quarter as the Wolf Pack defense made a statement, allowing just 26 yards by Ball State in the opening period. But early in the second quarter, LeAndre Moore broke free around right end and scampered 62 yards for the touchdown, pulling the Mid America Conference champion Cardinals to within two points. In the third quarter, Dutton struggled as his hands became near frozen, and he finally gave way to Eric Bennett, whose “hot” hand rallied the Wolf Pack. Bennett drove the Pack into scoring territory early in the fourth quarter and then hit Damond Wilkins for the touchdown, Wilkins’ second of the game. The drive covered 71 yards and Bennett completed four out of five passes. Nevada, behind spirited defensive play most notably by linebackers Mike Crawford and DeShone Myles, held Ball State at bay until late in the game when quarterback Brent Baldwin found Adrian Reese for a 27-yard touchdown pass with just 2:26 remaining in the game. Things got a little tighter when Ball State successfully covered an onside kick. But Crawford, who would be named game Most Valuable Player with 14 tackles, intercepted a pass up the middle and Nevada had its first bowl victory in 50 years.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Wasean Tait ran wild against the Wolf Pack, gaining 185 yards and scoring four touchdowns on the ground and adding six pass receptions for 53 more yards as Toledo defeated Nevada 40-37 in the first, and so far only, Division IA overtime game in NCAA history. The contest, aired nationally to an ESPN audience, proved to be one of the most entertaining of the bowl lineup. Tait scored the game-winner from two yards out after Nevada was held to a field goal in their half of the first overtime period. Nevada had rallied back from deficits of 14 points in the first half and 10 points in the second half to tie the game at 34 when Damon Shea kicked a 26-yard field goal with 9:28 remaining. Neither team could score in the remainder of regulation, setting up overtime, allowed by the NCAA in bowl games for the first time ever. Tait and the Rockets gained 307 yards rushing and 561 total in the contest. Nevada gained 413, 330 of which came through the air. Alex Van Dyke closed out his brilliant career at Nevada with another standout performance, catching 14 passes for 176 yards for the day. Mike Maxwell was 27-of-49 passing with no interceptions, but no touchdowns either. In an interesting “human interest” side story, Nevada’s DeShone Myles played in the game (and led the team in tackles) despite undergoing an emergency appendectomy just 22 days before the game.

Nevada’s first appearance in a bowl game in 44 years proved to be one of the most exciting games in the entire bowl line-up for the year as they lost a heartbreaker to Bowling Green in the inaugural Las Vegas Bowl, 35-34. The Falcons scored touchdowns on their first four drives while holding the Wolf Pack to three points for a 28-3 lead in the second quarter. Chris Vargas entered the game at quarterback with 1:50 remaining in the half. Midway through the third quarter, Vargas engineered three quick scoring drives which left the score 28-24 with 3:46 left. The Wolf Pack scored on its fourth consecutive possession with 12:41left in the game after a grueling 78-yard drive that culminated with a 14-yard Vargas pass to Mike Senior to make it 31-28. Nevada drove 86 yards to the one-yard line on its next possession and punched in a 19-yard field goal to make it 34-28. The Pack was forced to punt with 1:45 remaining on a fourth and one situation from the Nevada 32-yard line. Punter Steve Lester fumbled the snap, which gave Bowling Green life from the 15-yard line. Falcon quarterback Eric White rolled right and found wide receiver David Hankins alone in the back of the endzone on a dramtic fourth and goal. Brian Leaver kicked the exta point, and Nevada’s unbelievable comeback was denied the spoils of victory. Vargas passed for 283 yards on 24-of-40 passing and ran for 22 more yards in the near comeback and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.

University of Villanova’s highly spirited and unbelievably rugged Main Liners defeated the Nevada Wolf Pack 27-7 in the Harbor Bowl game in San Diego, Calif., before 20,000 fans. It was a brutally battled ball game, with the Easterners’ rough rock’-em-sock’-em tactics emerging victorious over the air-minded Nevada team. Serious injuries to Nevada’s All-American quarterback Stan Heath, and fullback Sherman Howard in the first half considerably hindered Nevada’s chances of winning. Tommy Kalmanir’s 61-yard run was one of the features of the day as the swift halfback sped through the entire Villanova team for Nevada’s lone touchdown. A second period fumble on the Villanova goal line was extremely demoralizing to the Nevadan’s.
Trailing the entire game, the Wolf Pack had their chance to advance to the semifinals, but missed that chance when a last second field goal, which would have given the team a one-point victory, sailed wide to the left on the final play of the game. Youngstown State left Reno with a 30-28 win, and the Penguins took advantage of that momentum, eventually winning the national championship in Statesboro, GA two weeks later. Making only his second collegiate start, Chris Vargas threw for 340 yards and three touchdowns and drove the Wolf Pack into position for the final goal attempt. Bryan Reeves caught 11 passes for 174 yards and a TD.

Georgia Southern won its fourth IAA National Championship with a solid 36-13 win over the Wolf Pack, a team making its first National Championship appearance after having reached the semifinals five times before. Trailing 14-6 at the half, Nevada drove during their first possession in the third quarter 79 yards to the Eagle one-yard line in a crucial series that could have tied the game. Nevada attempted a short field goal, but it was missed. After an exchange of fumbles, the Eagles drove 70 yards and scored. It was a touchdown that sealed the Georgia Southern victory in front of 23,000 delirious Eagle fans and a nationwide CBS-TV audience.

Coming from behind on a risky 95-yard surprise pass play, the University of Nevada won its first post-season bowl appearance under first-year head coach Joe Sheetketski. The Wolf Pack downed a fired up North Texas State collegians 13-6 in a viciously played battle at Phoenix, Arizona, before 12,000 fans. With Nevada on their own five-yard line and trailing 6-0, quarterback Stan Heath faded back and whipped a 50-yard pass to speedster Tommy Kalmanir, who caught it without breaking his stride and romped the remaining distance to the goal-line. Bob Corley converted and later husky Ernie Zeno plowed through for the final score. Again, as in other games, the violent tackles of guard Ken Sinofsky were paralyzing.
INTRO
The Wolf Pack, in their first game of their quest to return to Georgia for another chance at the elusive Division IAA national championship, took on ground-oriented Cowboys of McNeese State in the tournament’s first round. McNeese State’s patient ground attack, which accounted for little yardage through two and a half quarters, came alive on two long, grinding drives of 97 and 96 yards in two successive possessions as the Cowboys cut a 22-3 Nevada lead to a precarious 22-16. McNeese got the ball back twice more, but because time was running out, abandoned the ground game and were stopped by the Pack.

For the second week in a row, the Nevada Wolf Pack needed triple overtime to advance to the I-AA National Championship game with a 59-52 win over conference rival Boise State. Senior fullback Ray Whalen rushed for 245 yards and three touchdowns with a schoolrecord 44 carries. He scored the decisive TD in the third overtime with an eight-yard run, and Nevada’s defense finally held Boise in their half of the alternating possession overtime format. The victory avenged the only loss of the season for the Pack, a 30-14 loss a month earlier in Boise.

Behind 7-0 early in the second quarter, Treamelle Taylor did what he does best -- took off on a long punt return (53 yards) to put Nevada into position to tie the game on the Northeast Louisiana 16-yard line. One play later, Ray Whalen burst in for the touchdown. Midway through the second quarter, following a fumble by Indian QB Doug Pederson forced by a jarring sack by Mark Drahos, Fred Gatlin hit Taylor with an eight-yard scoring pass and Nevada was ahead for good. Whalen added another TD on a 24-yard run later in the quarter as Nevada scored 21 unanswered points to take a 21-7 lead at the half.
