The Nevada Wolf Pack may have had trouble settling into their groove tonight, early on in a 2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl that was supposed to be a cakewalk of a postseason matchup, but they've constructed a momentum swing out of pure special teams moxie. Ranked 59th nationally in punt returns, you wouldn't necessarily expect the 'Pack to pull a big play out of their bag of tricks between series, but as Bob Davie is so keen to remind us in charmingly broken English, That's Why They Play The Games.
After forcing a three-and-out on three consecutive and fruitless Chase Rettig plays, Nevada's defense yields the turf to its punt return unit -- and that's about when Ryan Quigley punts one straight to Rishard Matthews, who runs it back 72 yards down the right-hand sideline for the second 'Pack touchdown in 80 seconds. With 2:50 remaining in the first quarter, Nevada leads Boston College, 14-7.
