The Nevada Wolf Pack close out their out-of-conference schedule with a cross-country trip to face off against the Buffalo Bulls. Last season, the Bulls went 5-6 overall, and 3-2 in the MAC.
On the surface, it seems odd that Nevada would schedule such a far road game, but the Pack have their fair share of history at UB. Jim Hofher, the associate head coach and wide receivers coach at Nevada, was the head coach at Buffalo from 2001-2005. While at Buffalo, Hofher gave Brian Polian his first full-time coaching position. A decade later, the two of them are together again, with the roles now reversed.
