The revenge game is upon us. Well, kind of?
In Jay Norvell’s third game as Nevada’s head coach, with a gutted, re-building Wolf Pack squad, the Idaho State Bengals downed Nevada, 30-28, in Reno, Nev. It marked Idaho State’s second victory against an FBS program since the start of the century.
Matter of fact, the Bengals led 30-7 in the second half — and would’ve squandered the 23-point lead if it wasn’t for an incomplete two-point conversion try from then-freshman quarterback Kaymen Cureton, starting in his first career game, to Wyatt Demps.
Entering his fifth season, Norvell’s constructed a much more explosive, well-rounded, talented bunch — picked to finish atop the West Division in the Mountain West Conference instead of at the bottom of the totem poll.
