Despite a slow start, Boise State’s offense came alive in the fourth quarter, with Jeanty scoring the game-winning touchdown. The victory kept Boise State in contention for a spot in the Group of Five teams vying for the College Football Playoff.
Nevada, led by first-year coach Jeff Choate, fought hard throughout the game but ultimately fell short.
