Nevada Football: Wolf Pack fall to Utah State 31-27 in epic collapse

Nevada blows a 20 point lead to Utah State in the second half in the ugliest way possible.

The Wolf Pack were playing excellent after one half of play and seemed to be picking up where they left off at the start of the third quarter when James Butler (17 rushes, 139 yards and 2 touchdowns) ran 60 yards for his second touchdown of the game to give Nevada a 27-7 lead. But then, the wheels fell off for Nevada as Utah State scored 24 unanswered points and utterly dominated the Wolf Pack in the second half on their way to a 31-27 victory over Nevada.
