Did you know…? The Arizona Bowl will mark the first time two teams from the same conference have met in a non-BCS/CFP bowl game since the 1979 Orange Bowl between Oklahoma and Nebraska. Even the non-televised bowl games between teams from the same conference are good! A week earlier, Nevada was tagged on kick returns – more than 200 yards allowed and a touchdown to boot – in a loss to Utah State. Nevada has been up and down all year and one could realistically flip a coin to determine how this team will play. CSU had a chance at a touchdown on third-and-15, but Stevens narrowly overthrew Higgins in the end zone, and Bryan’s third field goal of the night gave CSU its first lead, 23-22, with 3:40 to play. The Rams responded with a field goal to cut into the lead on its ensuing possession before Nevada’s Elijah Mitchell extended the advantage by returning CSU’s kickoff for a 96-yard touchdown. It’s no secret the Wolf Pack like to run the ball.
