Nevada drops heartbreaker in triple overtime to Air Force, 41-39

The Air Force Falcons’ stout triple-option attack spoiled the Nevada Wolf Pack’s senior night with their 41-39 triple overtime victory on Friday evening, officially ending Nevada’s chances at a Mountain West title game berth. The Wolf Pack’s now lost all three of its Mountain West contests by two points apiece.

Air Force’s Haaziq Daniels picked up a two-yard rushing “score” in the third-overtime, when both teams begin to alternate two-point conversion attempts. Carson Strong’s pass to Romeo Doubs was broken up by Falcon outside linebacker Camby Goff in the back of the endzone — walling off Nevada’s comeback effort after it overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit.
