BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Wolf Pack had been in this situation before, and it doesn’t usually end well.
Nevada held a 24-21 lead over Buffalo with the Bulls having the ball on its own 15 with a 2 minutes, 26 seconds to go. The game was in the hands of the Wolf Pack defense. Typically in these situations, the opposition marches down the field and scores, leaving Nevada heart-broken with a last-second loss.
So, with the Wolf Pack once again in that situation, offensive lineman Jeremy Macauley, a junior who has watched his share of late leads evaporate over the years, figured he might see a similar fate.
