Nevada Heads to Boise Amid Tribute to Doug Martin

Nevada coach Jeff Choate said recent investments — highlighted by a new on‑campus indoor fieldhouse funded by student‑approved fees and backed by university leaders — signal the Wolf Pack’s commitment to closing the gap with other Mountain West programs, though he acknowledged the program still has work to do. Choate said additional moves, including meaningful NIL support, are needed as Nevada sits 1-6 (0-3 MW) heading into Friday’s road game at Boise State. Boise State is mourning the unexpected death of former running back Doug Martin, with coaches publicly reflecting on his legacy. On the field, Boise State dominated UNLV 56-31, totaling 558 yards with big games from Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines while QB Maddux Madsen rebounded after a slow start. Choate’s past as a Boise assistant when Nevada upset the then-No. 3 Broncos in 2010 adds extra storyline to the matchup.
