BOISE, Idaho - Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s early injury and Maryland running back Da’Rel Scott’s late, fresh entrance helps lead to the Wolf Pack’s 42-35 loss in the Humanitarian Bowl.

Boise, Id — Will Nevada snap its two-game losing streak in bowl games? Will Maryland continue its balanced offensive attack, or will it go to the air against the nation’s worst pass defense? Will Nevada seniors end their careers with a bang? These questions and more will be answered today in the 2008 Humanitarian Bowl.

Nevada senior center Dominic Green was arrested Friday night for DUI, KOLO TV reported.

The Wolf Pack football team’s success in qualifying for bowl games hasn’t been equaled in its ability to lure students to Mackay Stadium.

In what might not have been a well-kept secret, the Wolf Pack football team announced Sunday that it accepted an invitation to play Maryland in the Humanitarian Bowl 1:30 p.m. Dec. 30 in Boise, Idaho.

Dear NCAA:

I would like to protest the University of Nevada Las Vegas’ 64-57 win Saturday against the University of Nevada.

I don’t think the game should count.

My rationale: UNLV enrolls a bunch of future burger flippers who lack any kind of educational integrity and it shouldn’t be considered a college in the first place.

My evidence: UNLV’s bogus University Studies program.

Maryland was looking forward to a possible Bowl Championship Series bid two weeks ago when it battled Florida State.

You couldn’t blame them.

The Terrapins were the betting favorite and ranked No. 22 in the nation. They were one win — along with a Boston College loss — from qualifying for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game and a chance to play in the Orange Bowl.

Nevada announced Sunday that the Wolf Pack has accepted an invitation to play Maryland in the Roady’s Humanitarian in Boise, Id., 1:30 p.m. (PT) Dec. 30.

Nevada’s near improbable 17-point comeback Saturday saw more than quarterback Colin Kaepnerick displaying a solid arm and Nevada’s stingy second half defense.
The Wolf Pack’s 35-31 win against Louisiana Tech also gave Nevada better chances for a bowl game.

Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick was named Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year on Monday, while 10 Wolf Pack players received First- or Second-Team All-WAC Honors.

The Nevada football team came back in dramatic fashion Saturday for a 35-31 win against Louisiana Tech in its final regular season game of the year.

After a tough loss to Boise State, the Wolf Pack will travel to Louisiana Tech Saturday to battle for second place in the Western Athletic Conference.

Jerome Johnson and Joshua Mauga both intercepted Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore in the third quarter and both ran the interception for a touchdown. Mauga had a 46-yarder and Johnson had a 28-yarder.

Boise State defensive end Mike T. Williams said he felt at home after the Wolf Pack’s 41-34 loss Saturday to the Broncos.
Why wouldn’t he?
Boise State fans were a strong minority at the game.
