ESPN RECAP

Nevada 45, Air Force 42

RENO, Nev. -- Nevada's 45-42 comeback victory over Air Force wasn't very pretty, but it was pretty wild. Cody Fajardo threw for a career-high 389 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 81 yards and two more scores -- the last one with 1:45 left in the game -- to help Nevada overcome a 12-point deficit in the final 6 minutes. Aaron Bradley caught 11 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown and Brandon Wimberly had a career-high 15 receptions for 134 yards and a score for the Wolf Pack (3-2, 2-0 Mountain West). Nevada cornerback Charles Garrett 's interception at the Wolf Pack's 25 sealed the victory with less than 30 seconds left in the game.
