Boise State Broncos at Nevada Wolf Pack 2010 NCAAF Week 13 Odds, Preview, and Predictions: Head football coach Chris Peterson will lead his No. 2 Boise State Broncos on the road to Mackay Stadium to take on the Nevada Wolf Pack on Friday night at 10:15 PM ET on ESPN. Nevada comes in at 10-1, 5-1 3rd in the Western Athletic Conference while Boise comes in at 10-0, 6-0 in 1st in the WAC and looking to get into the BCS National Championship game. “I think (it) is going to be one of those games,” Petersen said. “I think our guys are going to be up for the challenge.”
Nevada has been victorious in 11 consecutive home games and 4 overall since their loss to Hawaii averaging over 50 points with their pistol offense since. “It is going to be a great opportunity for us,” coach Chris Ault said. “That’s pretty special.” There is much more on the line for the Broncos than their 24 game winning streak as they want to play for the BCS National title and need the win to even hope for the opportunity, maybe some losses by others as well.
