Kyle Pulek/Nevada Athletics. Nevada’s defense piles on top of an Aztecs’ running back. Nevada’s defense allowed 113 yards on the ground against SDSU.

For the first time in Nevada football history, the Wolf Pack went on the road and defeated a nationally ranked team. Nevada beat San Diego State University, 17-13, in a defensive slugfest.

The victory improves Nevada’s overall record to 6-4 as they become bowl eligible for the second year in a row.

Nevada’s offense struggled throughout the night as they competed against the Aztecs’ vaunted defense. In total, Nevada only totaled 226 yards, with 197 of those yards coming through the air.
