Mikey Keene threw a screen pass that Gilliam turned into a 71-yard gain to the Nevada 17-yard line. Three plays later Joshua Wood scored on a 7-yard run to cap a 95-yard drive, and the Bulldogs had a three-point lead with 4:13 left in the third quarter. It was the only score of the second half.
Nevada (3-5, 0-2) took the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards in six plays, capped by Savion Red's 3-yard touchdown run for a 7-0 lead. Fresno State (4-3, 2-1) answered with Dylan Lynch's 44-yard field goal.
The Bulldogs took a 10-7 lead on Gilliam's 10-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. The Wolf Pack used Brendon Lewis' 46-yard scoring strike to Nate Burleson II to move back in front by four. Gilliam scored on a 4-yard run for a 17-14 advantage after a botched punt gave Fresno State the ball on the Nevada 16-yard line. Lewis ran it in from the 2 on third-and-goal with 10 seconds left to give the Wolf Pack a 21-17 lead at halftime.
