Well, I hope everyone likes defense. Because that’s pretty much all there was last night. Fresno State has been known to have an elite defense, but this was definitely a new look for Nevada. Neither offense could get into a rhythm, and the game became more about the two defenses going toe-to-toe than the high-flying offensive show we were all expecting.
Things got off to a very slow start, as both teams went scoreless in the first quarter. About the only highlight was the Fresno State defense stepping up and stopping McLane Mannix on 4th and 1. Both offenses sputtered along with only 6 first downs between the two teams.
