The Wolf Pack’s game Saturday will mark Jay Norvell’s home debut as Nevada’s head coach, but it also will serve to tie the past to the present as former coach Chris Ault will be the game’s honorary captain.
Ault, who was inducted into the National College Football Hall of Fame 15 years ago, will be a part of the pre-game coin toss and be honored throughout the remainder of the game. Norvell and Ault have built a close relationship since the long-time assistant coach was hired as Nevada’s head man in December.
