Next up for Pack: First look at Idaho State, which stunned Nevada four years ago

With a win over the Pac-12 already in hand, the Nevada football team will forge ahead this week with its home opener against Idaho State.

The Wolf Pack won’t be overlooking the FCS-level Bengals, who are former conference-mates from Nevada’s Big Sky days. In 2017, also at Mackay Stadium, Idaho State stunned Nevada, 30-28, in Jay Norvell’s third game as the Pack’s head coach.

Here’s a first look at Idaho State, which opened its season with a home loss to nationally ranked North Dakota:
