After the Wolf Pack fell behind Hawaii, 17-0, on Saturday, a predictable start considering Nevada’s done that more often than not this season, Don Jackson gathered half the team on the sideline and let loose.
The senior running back and captain who has become the Wolf Pack’s emotional leader didn’t hold back. He screamed for a good 30 seconds, pointing to his heart and to the crowd and to the scoreboard while telling his team it better turn things around. And boy did Nevada do that, scoring 30 of the game’s next 33 points.
“They kicked it into gear right after that,” Jackson said.
