As the bowl pecking order settled out, Nevada found itself on the outside of the BCS. Hoping for an at-large bid to the Fiesta Bowl, the Wolfpack had to settle instead for an invite to the Alamo Bowl. The disappointment was evident on the field, as Journeyman's unfocused and apathetic charges fell behind 13-0 at the half. An impassioned halftime pep-talk and some serious adjustments turned the tide in the third quarter, and Nevada rallied to win, 21-13. It was an ugly game and one Journeyman would like to put behind him; his goal for next season is nothing less than the Rose Bowl. Many think these expectation are unrealistic, with the 'Pack being so new to a BCS league and the wear and tear of the adjustment being so evident late in the season, but Journeyman knows that many doubted he'd ever get this team to the Pac-10, much less league runner-up.
