Other Trivia:
- In 1995, Toledo and Nevada played in what was the first overtime game on the
FBS level. The existing OT rules were put into effect only for bowl games that season
and the Rockets and Wolf Pack were the only teams that needed the extra time in
the postseason, as Toledo prevailed 40-37. Overtime became standard for regularseason
games the next season.
-In 2002, Katie Hnida of New Mexico became the first woman to play in an NCAA FBS
game when she entered during the first quarter to attempt an extra point. The try,
which was low, was blocked by UCLA during the Bruins’27-13 victory.
-The Las Vegas Bowl commemorated its 25-year milestone in 2016 by inducting a
class of four individuals into its Hall of Fame during game week. The group included
(Oregon State running back, 2003), Anthony Calvillo (Utah State quarterback, 1992),
John Robinson (UNLV head coach, 2000) and Rossi Ralenkotter (Founding Father).
