Watch: Nevada Walk-On WR Earns Scholarship After Clutch Catch in Arizona Bowl

Nevada beat Arkansas State 16–13 in overtime to win the Arizona Bowl on Saturday, but one of the best moments came after the game.

Late in the fourth quarter, with Nevada trailing 7–3, Wolf Pack walk-on junior wide receiver Ben Putnam caught a 44-yard pass from Ty Gangi, bringing his team to the one-yard line. The catch set up Devonte Lee's one-yard score with barely one minute left on the clock, giving Nevada a 10–7 lead. Arkansas State tied the game with a field goal to send it to overtime, where the Wolf Pack scored the game-winning touchdown.
