Carson Strong’s career night coupled by Nevada’s second-quarter explosion fueled the Wolf Pack’s 55-28 dismantling of the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday night in front of 21,448 fans at Mackay Stadium.
Its 55 points — and 52 unanswered — were the most it’s scored against an FBS opponent since it rung up 59 points against San Jose State on Nov. 11, 2017.
The Aggies, who entered No. 112 in the nation in total defense (446.8 ypg) and No. 115 in scoring defense (34.2 ppg), held Nevada to eight yards (on 11 plays), two first downs and just three points in the first quarter.
