For only the third time in University of South Florida football history, the Bulls will play a game west of the Rocky Mountains.

USF will face the Nevada Wolf Pack, a Western Athletic Conference team that will join the Mountain West Conference, on Sept. 8, 2012. It completes USF’s non-conference schedule for next season, which also includes home games against Chattanooga (Sept. 1) and Florida State (Sept. 29) with road games at Ball State (Sept. 22) and Miami (Nov. 24). The Big East Conference schedule hasn’t been announced yet. Nevada is scheduled to return the game against USF at Raymond James Stadium in 2015.

In 1999, USF traveled to San Diego State and in 2001, the Bulls played at Utah.
