It has been 296 days since the Nevada Wolf Pack last played Ohio in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Jan. 2.
The elongated delay did not disappoint in a 37-34 overtime victory against the Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday at Mackay Stadium.
Nevada coughed away a 28-6 third quarter advantage. Wyoming scored 22 unanswered and tied the contest at 28 with 8:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Trailing 34-31 in overtime, Nevada faced a first-and-goal on its own nine-yard line. Nevada’s Carson Strong fired a nine-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs, clinching the nail-biting win in its season-opener.
