For the first time since 2017, the Nevada Wolf Pack will take the field on the blue turf against the Boise State Broncos. Nevada’s played on the field twice since, though both came in back-to-back Famous Idaho Potato Bowl appearances — versus Ohio and Tulane — in 2019 and 2020, splitting the two contests.
Nevada hasn’t won a road game against Boise since Nov. 8, 1997 — when both programs were still apart of the Big West Conference. Nevada won 56-42 behind 557 passing yards from quarterback John Dutton, a single-game program record at the time (it was broke by David Neill, who threw for 611 yards in a single game the following season, a record that still stands).
