What to Know

Fresno State will be playing the full four quarters on Saturday, but they're expected to have things wrapped up well before that. They will be playing in front of their home fans against the Nevada Wolf Pack at 10:30 p.m. ET at Valley Children's Stadium. Nevada is crawling into this contest hobbled by 14 consecutive losses, while Fresno State will bounce in with 13 consecutive wins.

Last Saturday, Fresno State really took it to Kent State for the full four quarters, racking up a 53-10 win at home. With Fresno State ahead 36-10 at the half, the contest was all but over already.

Mikey Keene looked great while leading his team to the win, throwing for 325 yards and four touchdowns. Keene wound up with a passer rating of 208.1. Elijah Gilliam was in the mix too, providing Fresno State with three touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Nevada traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn't gotten any smoother. They fell 35-24 to Texas State on Saturday. The over/under was set at 59 points, so nice work oddsmakers; you were right on the money.

Despite the defeat, Nevada got a solid performance out of Brendon Lewis, who rushed for 89 yards.
