Mackay 50 – No. 2: The Miracle at Mackay

The newly renovated Mackay Stadium will celebrate its 50th anniversary this season. We will count down the 50 most memorable games in the stadium's history with one game per day until the Wolf Pack's 2016 season opener Sept. 2 against Cal Poly. Here is today's entry.

  • Key stat: 3 - This is one of only three games to go three overtimes in Mackay's history. Remarkably, it was the second straight game to go three overtimes after Nevada outlasted Furman the prior week.

    In short: After its thrilling three-overtime win the week before, Nevada played another three-overtime barnburner, this time against Boise State, with the same result: a heart-stopping win.
