Wolf Pack clips UCF in OT in
Hawaii Bowl
HONOLULU — Jeff Rowe scored on a 4-yard
naked bootleg in overtime to lead Nevada to a 49-48 victory over Central
Florida in the Hawaii Bowl on Saturday night.
UCF kicker Matt Prater, who had three field goals during the game, missed
the game-tying extra point wide right, giving the Wolf Pack the win.
Nevada players poured on the field as Central Florida looked stunned.
B.J. Mitchell ran for 178 yards and two touchdowns, and Robert Hubbard had
126 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Wolf Pack (9-3), who finished
with their best season since 1996 and spoiled Central Florida's bowl debut.
UCF's Brandon Mitchell caught a 16-yard pass for a touchdown that tied the
game at 42 with 55 seconds left. The score capped a four-play, 48-yard drive
that took just 37 seconds.
Prater booted a 46-yard field goal with 1:32 left to draw UCF to 42-35, and
the Golden Knights recovered the onside kick with no time-outs left and
setting up Mitchell's dramatic catch that sent the game into overtime.
Trailing 32-28, the Wolf Pack took the lead on Hubbard's 5-yard touchdown
run early in the fourth quarter. Nevada scored again on Rowe's 7-yard
scoring pass to Travis Branzell for a 42-32 lead with 3:18 remaining.
However, Central Florida refused to give up.
Earlier this season, the Golden Knights (8-5) ended what was the nation's
longest Division I-A losing streak at 17 games. After going 0-11 last year,
they were trying to tie the 1940 Stanford team for the second-biggest,
one-season turnaround in NCAA football history.
Kevin Smith had 202 yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Golden
Knights, who went 700 days without a win before defeating Marshall 23-13 in
the third game of the season.
