Nevada football tops New Mexico, improve to 4-0

Nevada football improved to 4-0 Saturday with a 27-20 victory over New Mexico. It begins the year 4-0 for the first time since 2010 and for the ninth time in school history.

The Wolf Pack had 392 total yards of offense. Quarterback Carson Strong completed 24-of-38 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns. The redshirt sophomore became the first player in Mountain West Conference history to have six straight games 300-plus yard performance. His streak of 299 passes without an interception was snapped, falling just eight passes short of former Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr.

Despite the accolades Strong has racked up during Nevada’s undefeated season, his humble attitude was on fully display after the win.
