Thursday night football for the second consecutive week? In the Mountain West?
Yep. You did not read that incorrectly. Just five days after reclaiming the prized Fremont Cannon, the Nevada Wolf Pack (2-0) square off with the Utah State Aggies (0-2) on Thursday evening at 4:00 p.m. PST on Fox Sports 1.
Nevada is coming off a 37-19 victory over intrastate rival UNLV in the Battle for the Fremont Cannon. The Fremont Cannon — college football’s largest and most expensive trophy — spent the previous two seasons down south.
The Wolf Pack is 2-0 for the first time since 2014, while it is also their best start in conference-play since 2013.
