With the proliferation of college football games being televised, afternoon kickoffs have become few and far between in recent seasons.
But Nevada has scheduled at least home two games for afternoon kickoffs in 2017.
The Wolf Pack’s game against Idaho State on Sept. 16 will kick-off at 4 p.m. at Mackay Stadium as the Bengals visit Reno for the first time since 1991.
Nevada’s game against UNLV on Nov. 25 will begin at 1 p.m. at Mackay as the Rebels and Wolf Pack play a Governor’s Series matchup to close the regular season. Nevada owns a 25-17 lead in the all-time rivalry series, including a 45-10 road win last season, and the Wolf Pack is 13-8 all-time at Mackay Stadium against UNLV.
