Memorable Games:
1992: Featuring the champions of the Mid-American and Big West Conferences, the inaugural game was arguably
its biggest nail-biter, as Bowling Green held on to record a dramatic 35-34 victory over Nevada. The Los
Angeles Times dubbed it “the most exciting bowl game of the year.”
2006: No. 19 BYU, the first Mountain West Conference champion to play in the game, rolls past Oregon 38-8 in
what is still the largest crowd to ever witness a team sporting event in the state of Nevada – 44,615, thanks
to 4,100 temporary bleacher end-zone seats.
2011: In the final college game for the sport’s all-time winningest quarterback – Boise State’s Kellen Moore – the
high-powered Broncos routed Arizona State in head coach Dennis Erickson’s finale, 56-24, but both sides
featured big plays. BSU’s Doug Martin opened the game with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown
while ASU’s Rashad Ross nearly equaled that feat by leading off the second half with a 98-yard kickoff return
for a score. The third length-of-the-field play came when Sun Devil QB Brock Osweiler saw his pass attempt
intercepted by Bronco DB Jamar Taylor and returned 100 yards the other way for a back-breaking highlight.
