At Mackay Stadium, the Nevada Wolf Pack struggled to find their footing against a dominant Boise State Broncos side. Despite their efforts, the Wolf Pack could only muster three points through a field goal, which was one of two attempts and marked their only scoring play of the game. The field goal unit had an average outing with a fifty percent success rate and one blocked attempt.


The offensive line allowed four sacks as they tried to protect their quarterback who completed thirteen out of thirty-one pass attempts for 123 yards. However, they were unable to convert any red zone appearances into touchdowns and finished with no passing touchdowns for this game. On the ground, Nevada managed to gain 127 yards over thirty-eight rushing attempts but failed to reach the end zone.


Special teams had mixed results; while there were no punts blocked or returned for touchdowns by either team, Nevada's punters averaged forty-one yards across five punts with one touchback. The kick return unit showed some resilience with six returns totaling 131 yards; however, it wasn't enough to significantly impact the overall outcome.


Defensively, Nevada forced two fumbles and recovered one but couldn't capitalize on these turnovers. They also recorded three tackles for loss totaling twenty-three negative yards against Boise State but did not manage any sacks or interceptions throughout four quarters of play.


Boise State's offense proved too much for Nevada as they scored fourteen points in both first and third quarters while adding seven and three points in second and fourth quarters respectively. Their consistent scoring across all periods reflected their control over the pace of the game.


Fans looking forward to seeing if Nevada can bounce back will have an opportunity when they face Fresno State Bulldogs at Mackay Stadium on November 20th at 7:30 PM local time (PST). This upcoming encounter will be broadcasted on CBS Sports Network for supporters unable to attend in person.
