The wolves will be running in Arizona in late December.
Arkansas State University (8-4, 5-3 Sun Belt Conference) and Nevada (7-5, 5-3 Mountain West) will meet for the first time since 1999 in the Arizona Bowl at 12:15 p.m. Central on Dec. 29 at Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
"When we heard the news of who we were playing," ASU senior defensive end Ronheen Bingham said, "we were very excited."
The Wolf Pack finished tied for second place in the Mountain West's West Division along with Hawaii and have won four of their previous five games entering the Arizona Bowl.
