COLORADO SPRINGS – Triple-option? What triple-option?
The Nevada defense came up with enough stops Saturday to lift the Wolf Pack to a 28-25 win over Air Force and its difficult-to-defend offense.
The win broke an eight-game road losing streak for Nevada (3-2), and gave the Wolf Pack a 1-0 start in Mountain West games. Air Force dropped to 1-3 (0-2).
The Wolf Pack held the Falcons to 24 first-half yards on 26 plays in taking a 21-7 lead. Air Force rallied behind backup quarterback Donald Hammond III in the second half – even scoring on a rare touchdown pass – and got its option going to break 200 yards of total offense.
