Nevada football to play Montana State in 2026, completes non-conference schedule
The Nevada football team completed its 2026 non-conference schedule with the addition of head coach Jeff Choate’s former school.
The Wolf Pack will host Montana State on Sept. 12, 2026 at Mackay Stadium. Choate coached the Bobcats for four seasons from 2016 to 2019.
The game completes Nevada’s 2026 nonconference slate. The Wolf Pack will host Western Kentucky in its 2026 home opener Sept. 5, then following the game with Montana State will travel to UCLA (Sept. 19) and Middle Tennessee (Sept. 26).
The 2026 meeting will be the first between Nevada and Montana State since 1996, a 31-7 Wolf Pack victory at Mackay Stadium. Nevada leads the overall series, 12-6, including a 9-4 mark in Big Sky play from 1979-91.
Choate led the Bobcats to a combined 19-9 record over his final two seasons, making consecutive appearances in the FCS playoffs with a run to the semifinals in 2019.

Oregon lands commitment from Nevada punter
Oregon has found its next Australian punter.
Bailey Ettridge, who averaged 44.66 yards on 47 punts at Nevada this season, committed to transfer to the Ducks on Sunday. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
From Lara, Australia, Ettridge had 15 punts over 50 yards and 18 inside opponents’ 20-yard lines this season. He also had two carries for 26 yards, both of which converted fourth downs.
Ettridge replaces James Ferguson-Reynolds, who is averaging 41.64 yards on 33 punts for UO this season. Ferguson-Reynolds and Ross James are both out of eligibility after the season.
Ettridge is the first scholarship transfer to Oregon this offseason and his addition gives the Ducks 81 projected scholarship players in 2026. He is the lone punter presently on the roster.
