What to Know
The Nevada Wolf Pack have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They are staying on the road on Saturday, facing off against the Fresno State Bulldogs at 10:30 p.m. ET at Bulldog Stadium. The Wolf Pack aren't expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn't stop them last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.
It was all tied up 3-3 at the half for Nevada and the San Diego State Aztecs two weeks ago, but Nevada stepped up in the second half. Nevada got past San Diego State with less than a touchdown to spare, ending up at 17-13. No one had a big game offensively for Nevada, but they got scores from WR Elijah Cooks and RB Devonte Lee.
Meanwhile, Fresno State came up short against the Aztecs last Friday, falling 17-7. QB Jorge Reyna had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw three interceptions with only 5.23 yards per passing attempt.
Nevada's win lifted them to 6-4 while Fresno State's loss dropped them down to 4-6. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Bulldogs rank 17th in the league when it comes to rushing touchdowns, with 26 on the season. Less enviably, the Wolf Pack are seventh worst in the nation in overall touchdowns, with only 20 on the season. So the cards are definitely stacked against the Wolf Pack.
