The inaugural NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl was a dandy, a fun one until the finish, with the Nevada Wolf Pack edging out the Colorado State Rams 28-23 thanks to a last-minute drive and touchdown.
With the Rams down nine and 3:55 to play in the third quarter, they marched down field using a mainly run-first attack, grinding on the Nevada defense and wearing them down. Eventually, Jasen Oden ran the ball over the goal line and Colorado State was suddenly within two points of the Wolf Pack. More than a quarter later, the Rams went ahead when Wyatt Bryan booted home a 38-yard field goal for the 23-22 lead.
