Nevada Loses Heartbreaker to Rivals UNLV

“I remember how excited Coach Ault was about the game. It was our first goal to accomplish every year; win that State Championship.”

John Bender is a former offensive lineman for the Nevada Wolf Pack. He reminisced with me on his days sporting the silver and blue when they faced their main rivals, the UNLV Rebels.

In the same week the Pittsburgh Steelers took on the Baltimore Ravens and the Boston Red Sox played the New York Yankees, another rivalry occurred in Reno, Nevada. Rebels versus Wolf Pack; a rivlary out of text books of college sports.
