A late second half surge from the Nevada Wolf Pack wasn’t enough to overcome a 21-point deficit, falling to the Ohio Bobcats (7-6, 5-3) 30-21 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho on Friday.
The Wolf Pack scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to cut the lead to 30-21. But they squandered opportunities to potentially take the lead after a lost fumble and a turnover-on-downs in the red zone stripped away the momentum on their final two possessions.
The loss cements Nevada’s season record as 7-6 with a minus-138 point differential. Nevada is now 6-11 in bowl games, and 1-1 under third-year head coach Jay Norvell.
