3. The Wolf Pack have not won a game in 378 days

That’s right. Nevada is winless since Week 2 of the 2022 season. They’ve lost 12 consecutive games, and that streak could extend much longer starting today.

Believe it or not, Nevada was a respectable program three years ago. They had reached four consecutive bowl games at one point under head coach Jay Norvell. But when Norvell bolted for the Colorado State job in 2021, everything went downhill.

Norvell has made headlines this week for his comments about Deion Sanders in anticipation of the Rams’ appearance on College GameDay tonight. However, his old team isn’t enjoying similar success in his absence. Current Wolf Pack head coach Ken Wilson has a ways to go before he can bring his school back to relevance.
