Nevada football entered the 2021 season with sky-high expectations. The Wolf Pack answered the call with a 22-17 victory on the road against a stout California Bears defense at Memorial Stadium Saturday, Sept. 4.

Trailing 14-0 early in the first quarter, Nevada stormed back and scored the next 22 points en route to a gritty win in its season opener. It wasn’t the most polished performance in all three phases, but the Wolf Pack battled from the opening kickoff to start the season 1-0.

“It was a first game; it wasn’t pretty by any means,” Nevada head coach Jay Norvell said in a press conference.
