What to Know

The Nevada Wolf Pack and the Ohio Bobcats have had some time off and are no doubt ready to hit the field. Bowl season is underway, and Nevada and Ohio will compete for postseason bragging rights in the Idaho Potato Bowl at Albertsons Stadium at 3:30 p.m. ET on Friday. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, the Wolf Pack now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

The Wolf Pack fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the UNLV Rebels five weeks ago but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. Nevada lost to UNLV 33-30. No one had a big game offensively for Nevada, but they got scores from RB Devonte Lee and WR Dominic Christian. Christian had trouble finding his footing against the Fresno State Bulldogs six weeks ago, so this was a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, when you finish with 547 more yards than your opponent like Ohio did five weeks ago, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They steamrolled past the Akron Zips 52-3. That 49-point margin sets a new personal best for the Bobcats on the season.

The Wolf Pack are now 7-5 while the Bobcats sit at 6-6. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Nevada is stumbling into the game with the 15th fewest overall touchdowns in the nation, having accrued only 28 on the season. To make matters even worse for Nevada, Ohio enters the matchup with 33 rushing touchdowns, good for 19th best in the nation. So the cards are definitely stacked in Ohio's favor.
