One of Boise State's chief WAC rivals this season will be the Nevada Wolf Pack, who should have one of the best offenses in the conferences. Supposedly.
Such was not the case in Nevada's first scrimmage of the fall yesterday.
The first scrimmage of the 2008 season went to the defense which scored twice and allowed only one score in a 90-minute and 90-plus play scrimmage Sunday at Mackay Stadium.The "D" returned a fumble and an interception for touchdowns and forced five turnovers total. Colin Kaepernick and Luke Lippincott, the two stars of the Nevada offense, were held to 102 yards combined, and OBNUG's pick for preseason WAC offensive player of the year, QB Nick Graziano, went 3-for-12.
By the way, the Nevada defense is terrible.
What should Bronco fans make of this result? Probably little. Seeing Nevada struggle on offense will undoubtedly encourage us to make some inappropriate jokes at their expense, but when all is said and done, the Nevada offense will be fine, the Nevada defense will be bad, and the WAC championship will still come down to Fresno State and Boise State.
In the meantime, we'll be snickering at Kaepernick's efficiency rating.

After last season's debacle...the thought of even a decent Nevada defense should send shivers down Broncos' collective spines. The lil general has stocked up on JC guys in an attempt to pull a June Jones. Should be an interesting year.
ReplyDeleteIf Nevada figures out consistency, then they could turn some heads. Although, I'm not sure "consistency" is something Ault teaches.
ReplyDeleteNevada's defense is looking good. That little redshirt frosh QB will never know what hit him.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I recall a "little" redshirt frosh from Nevada that fared pretty well against BSU last year. Be careful what you wish for Pack fans.
ReplyDeleteWill our little redshirt frosh QB never know what hit him because:
ReplyDeletea) it will be a puny Nevada cornerback who doesn't hit very hard
or
b) the senior quarterback will already be in the game throwing garbage time touchdowns?
We're mostly kidding, keep. But if we are going to be concerned about one part of the Nevada attack, it sure isn't going to be the defense.
