Nevada vs. Idaho - All Time Football Data



Nevada also leads in all-time points scored 608-429 (+179).

This proved to be a remarkably easy task.  As it turns out, to the best of my research, Nevada and Idaho have only met four times other than the eighteen mentioned in the previous postIf I have missed any games here, please let me know and I will promptly correct this article.

The series began in 1924, when Idaho was a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (in which competition included Cal, Oregon, the university currently known as Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Stanford, USC, Montana, and UCLA) and was continued only sporadically until 1940.  This is concurrent with their conference affiliations at a time when the NCAA was restructuring.
"Prior to July 1996, UI competed in the Big Sky Conference for 33 years; it was a charter member in 1963. The Big Sky has been a Division I-AA conference since I-AA's formation in 1978, but from 1963-77, the conference was a "college division" (later Division II) for football. Although a charter member of the Big Sky, Idaho maintained its "university division" (Division I) status, with its additional football scholarships, by playing a non-conference schedule of Division I teams. Idaho moved down to the new I-AA division in 1978 as the Big Sky moved up from Division II." see Main Article
I won't cover the same material twice, so asto the games (14-4) from 1979 to present, please refer to CA vs. Idaho.
