Game Recap
It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but the Nevada Wolf Pack ultimately got the result they were hoping for on Saturday with a 37-34 win over the Wyoming Cowboys. For Nevada, this is just revenge for the 31-3 defeat they suffered against Wyoming the last time they faced one another on Oct. 26 of last year.
The Wolf Pack can attribute much of their success to QB Carson Strong, who passed for four TDs and 420 yards on 52 attempts, and WR Cole Turner, who caught seven passes for two TDs and 119 yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Strong's 50-yard TD bomb to Turner in the second quarter. On the other hand, one thorn in Nevada's side was the less-than-spectacular play of RB Devonte Lee, who fumbled the ball once.
QB Levi Williams put forth a good effort for the losing side as he passed for one TD and 227 yards on 30 attempts in addition to rushing for two TDs and 40 yards.
The game leaves both teams with the exact same record at 0-0.
Nevada will take on the UNLV Rebels at 3 p.m. ET next Saturday at Allegiant Stadium. Unlike Nevada, UNLV will be limping in after taking a loss. The Cowboys will be playing at home against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors at 2 p.m. ET next Saturday.
