Nevada vs. Boise State: Final Statistics (or Oh Yeah, Boy...sie)

Yes, Boise, that just happened: your uppance has come.

The Broncos have a good fan base, and some amazing fans who make it up.  However every year I end up surrounded by pompous, arrogant Boise fans who seem personally affronted by my daring to root against their team on Nevada's home turf; I am thrilled that you were finally taken down a peg and excited that it happened here.

On with the game stats.

Nevada (8-1, 3-1 WAC) vs. Fresno State (6-2, 4-1 WAC).

Fresno State has the advantage with a commanding 24-15-1 overall record.  Chris Ault is 5-4 against the Bulldogs for his career, and 3-3 since his return in 2004.

Nevada at Idaho: Final Statistics

The latest Wolf Pack adventure to the North-Central Idaho Aerodrome's Zeppelin Hangar...

Nevada came within sniffing distance of another second-half defensive melt-down, replete with a kickoff nearly returned for a touchdown; but the boys displayed a certain tenacity and poise that not only averted a sore brush with mediocrity (and a profanity-riddled post-game with Coach) but was able to exploit a clearly inferior football team for their own gains (including turning that kickoff return for a touchdown into a long kickoff return for a fumble).

I kinda feel bad for Idaho: I like Robb Akey; they got screwed by alumnus Dennis Erickson; they represent the Palouse (along with Washington State and a few dozen militia); they're the only FBS program in Idaho what ISN'T Boise State.  In short, to me, they're the WAC's lovable lugs.

Now onto the game stats.
