2016 is off to a rousing start. The Nevada Wolfpack are 2-0 and looking like a prime-time contender for the Pac-10 crown after a gutsy, last-second win in the Coliseum over #5 USC. The season started out as expected, with the 'Pack jumping out to a quick 17-o lead over UNLV, but careless play through the second half allowed the Rebels to come back before Nevada finally put them away late, 27-21. Many fans thought the lackluster performance was a bad omen heading into game 2 at Southern Cal, but Ace Journeyman had a few tricks up his sleeve. After falling behind 7-0 early, the Pack broke out the no-huddle and flew down the field to tie it up. It was a back and forth contest the whole day, but the Trojans finally pulled away, 28-21 with :35 remaining. Journeyman's two-minute drill worked flawlessly, however, as the Wolfpack were at the goal line with just nine seconds left. A HB draw caught the Trojans off guard for a TD and with just a few ticks left on the clock, the Ace made the risky call: go for the win. One successful 2-pt pass later, the Wolfpack were celebrating a 29-28 lead and were one tackle away from the upset. The Trojan returner was forced out of bounds, but the clock had already expired and Ace Journeyman's team had secured his biggest win to date.
