The Wolf Pack football team entered its game against Weber State on Nov. 2, 1991 as the No. 1-ranked team in the country after winning a 1714 thriller against rival Boise State the week prior to improve to 8-0. Weber State entered the game 5-2 and boasted future NFL quarterback Jamie Martin, who won the Walter Payton Award that season as the best player in Division I-AA. Nevada fell behind 49-14 before mounting the greatest comeback in NCAA history, a 35-point surge that netted Nevada a 55-49 victory. Wednesday marks the 25th anniversary of that game, which remains the largest comeback in college football history (Michigan State tied the mark in a 2006 in a win over Northwestern).
