The Nevada Wolf Pack have added the Purdue Boilermakers and the Toledo Rockets to their future football schedules, the school announced today.
Nevada will travel to face Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, IN on Sept. 24, 2016. The Wolf Pack will then host the Boilermakers at Mackay Stadium in Reno on Aug. 31, 2019. The two schools have never met in football.
Nevada also announced today a home-and-home series against the Toledo Rockets of the MAC. The first game of the series will be played in Reno on Sept. 9, 2017 with the second and final game at the Glass Bowl in Toledo on Sept. 22, 2018.
The Wolf Pack have lost all three meetings against the Rockets, including two games in 1995 (49-35 in Reno and 40-37 in the Las Vegas Bowl). Toledo was also won 31-13 at home in 1997.
Nevada has now completed their future non-conference schedule through the 2016 season and they only need one more game in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Nevada may not be complete yet, at Hawaii in odd years.
Sorry, even years.
I like what we are doing. First BYU, now Purdue from the Big 10. Those are a couple of big time teams that deliver respect if you can beat them. Well done Pack keep up the great work!
