In a historic moment for Nevada Wolf Pack football, the team was part of the first overtime game in FBS history on Dec. 14, 1995, at the Las Vegas Bowl. Coach Chris Ault later described the team’s 40-37 loss to Toledo as “devastating.” The 1995 season was the first to introduce overtime games in college football, but only for bowl games. Nevada sent the game to overtime with a field goal in the fourth quarter, but ultimately fell short when Toledo’s Wasean Tait scored the game-winning touchdown. This made Nevada the first team to lose in overtime in FBS history, finishing the season with a 9-3 record while Toledo ended with an impressive 11-0-1 record, ranking 24th in the nation. This historic moment is remembered in each episode of Wolf Pack All Access, showcasing the team’s rich history and memorable moments.
