Silver defeats Blue in Nevada football's first Battle Born Showdown at Mackay Stadium

Fans got a first look at the Nevada football team under first-year head coach Ken Wilson at Mackay Stadium on Saturday night.

The Wolf Pack roster was split between the Blue and Silver teams, featuring a scoring format Coach Wilson used at Oregon, that featured points for not only offense, but defense as well including tackles for loss, takeaways, three-and-outs, stops, and sacks.

Quarterback Nate Cox connected with wide reciever Victor Snow from 77-yards out on the Blue team's first drive of the game to put Blue up 7-0. Quarterback Jake Barlage threw a 34-yard touchdown to wide receiver Jamaal Bell with 8:04 left in the first quarter, to make it a tie game at 14. Silver's defense would come up with some big stops on three consecutive drives. Running back Toa Taua ran in a four yard touchdown to put the blue team back in front, 34-32 with less than six minutes left in the first half. Wesley Kommer ripped off a 55-yard touchdown with 3:30 remaining to put the Silver team ahead, and would go on to win 55-46.

Here's a recap from Mackay Stadium, with post-game sound from Coach Wilson and Nate Cox.
