Nevada quarterback Malik Henry was poised for a second chance under center, and he made the most of it.

Henry threw for a team-high 352 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in his first FBS start on Saturday, leading the Pack to a 41-38 victory over San Jose State.

A former five-star recruit, Henry left Florida State University and played two seasons at Independence Community College without a Division-I offer.
