Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Nevada's offense found its rhythm. Quarterback Carter Jones connected with Jett Carpenter for an 8-yard touchdown pass, putting the Pack on the scoreboard. Joe McFadden added to their lead with a successful extra point kick. The Cowboys struggled to respond against Nevada’s defense led by Nakian Jackson and Austin Harnetiaux, who combined for several key tackles.


Third Quarter


The third quarter witnessed Wyoming attempting a comeback as they scored their only touchdown of the game. However, Nevada maintained composure under pressure. McFadden showcased his kicking prowess again by converting a field goal from 43 yards out, extending their lead further.


Fourth Quarter


As tensions rose in the fourth quarter, McFadden once more demonstrated his reliability by securing another field goal for Nevada from long range. Despite Wyoming's efforts to rally back into contention, they were thwarted repeatedly by Murvin Kenion’s forced fumble and Aiden Walker’s solid defensive plays.


Nevada Wolf Pack vs Wyoming Cowboys final score ended in favor of Nevada at 13-7 after an intense battle at Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.
