Mackay 50 – No. 27: Pack tops Top 25 team for first time

The newly renovated Mackay Stadium will celebrate its 50th anniversary this season. We will count down the 50 most memorable games in the stadium's history with one game per day until the Wolf Pack's 2016 season opener Sept. 2 against Cal Poly. Here is today's entry.

  • Key stat: 25 - Fresno State was ranked 25th in the nation when these two teams faced off and Nevada recorded its first win over a Division I ranked team in its history. It has four such wins since then.

    In short: Fresno State was a juggernaut this season, posting an 11-1 record and winning a Big West championship under legendary coach, Jim Sweeney.
