The 2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl game was the 9th edition of the annual college football bowl game known previously as the Emerald Bowl. It was played after the 2010 NCAA Division I FBS football season at AT&T Park in San Francisco, California on January 9, 2011 (6 p.m. PT) between the Nevada Wolf Pack and the Boston College Eagles. ESPN television broadcast the game with Kraft as the title sponsor.[2]
This marked the first time in the bowl's history that the game was not played in December; the game was played the night before the BCS National Championship Game.
Scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter by Rishard Matthews, the Nevada Wolf Pack defeated Boston College 20–13 for the bowl title.
