Nevada Football opens 2018 season in dominant fashion
Reno, Nev. —

Nevada opened their season Friday night to a rousing 72-19 win over Portland State. Never before in the history of Mackay Stadium has a team put up that amount of points. After falling behind 9-0 early, Pack would put up 63 points while shutting out Portland State in the second half. At one point, the silver and blue scored a touchdown on 6 straight drives racking up more than 630 yards of total offense. The most from Nevada since the 2012 New Mexico Bowl back when Cody Fajardo was the starting quarterback.
