What a difference a year makes. Entering the 2010 season, Nevada coach Chris Ault was on the hot seat after a disappointing 8-5 season. Today, the architect of the Pistol offense is King of Reno after the Wolf Pack finished 13-1, including a memorable victory over Boise State.

An unforgettable Thanksgiving weekend of college football featured several classic moments, but one game stands out: Nevada's 34-31 overtime victory against Boise State on Friday night at Mackay Stadium. It was called the biggest sporting event in Reno since world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson defeated Jim Jeffries in 1910.
Our friends at Image of Sport, the sports photography wire service for daily newspapers and editorial publications, were on the scene and captured several classic plays from the game. You can view Image of Sports catalog of shots by clicking here.
Considering his defense gave up 35 points in a loss Saturday night to Nevada, Fresno State coach Pat Hill might be advised to sign the security guard who flattened this fan just short of the end zone.
Brigham Young defensive tackle Romney Fuga's season is over after Nevada offensive guard John Bender cuts Fuga from behind and takes out his left knee during Saturday's game in Provo.
Fuga suffered a tear of an anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament and is scheduled for surgery.
