Congrats Nevada

I really expected us to beat Nevada by 21 points, be WAC Champions, leap frog TCU and be invited to the Rose Bowl.

Those dreams ended on a cold wintry night in Reno, Nevada. The Pack bested Boise State 34 to 31 in overtime.

Boise started the first half on its usual fast track going into the half leading 24 to 7 and leaving some scoring opportunities on the field. Receiving the second half kick off made me think we had this game well in control and that covering the spread would be easy. Not the case.

Nevada made the Broncos punt three times in the 3rd quarter while recovering some of their own fumbles. The Pack came out with their hair on fire and for the first time in years, the Broncos were man handled.

Nevada ran between the tackles like Boise State was nothing. Their offensive line pushed our defensive line around as their running backs ran on us at will. Kaepernick injected his running skills into the game.

He did what he does best if he can get to the edge, he takes off and is gone, he was in trouble, we had him and yet he escaped and went for 6.

It was a very hard fought game, Nevada never quite but neither did Boise. Nevada tied the game up and Boise had 9 seconds to go over 70 yards to win the game. Kellen Moore hit Titus Young on a bomb that left them 2 seconds on the clock and a 26 yard field goal from the center of the field. Something that Kyle Brotzman makes in his sleep but that was not to be. He missed it sending the game into overtime.

Nevada won the toss and chose defense. Their defense held and Boise had to try another field goal from the center of the field. Nevada was not to be denied last night. Brotz pulled a 29 yarder to his left.

Nevada played for position and their freshman kicker became man of the hour as he put one through the uprights.

It is not often the Broncos lose or are out coached, last night was one of those nights, ending the nations longest winning streak of 24 and Boise States longest winning streak as well as all hopes of playing for the national title or even going to a BCS game.

It hurts to lose and lose all the dreams we had hoped for, but better to lose it on the field of play than at the hands of the computer rankings or from voters that never see you play. Last night Nevada proved this year they are the better team, cant wait till we play them next time.
