Nevada
Preview segment: The Nevada Wolfpack
Last season: It was a mix of good and bad for Nevada last year. On the bright side, they defeated teams like Purdue and San Diego State to go bowling. On the negative side they lost their bowl game, lost the "Fremont Cannon" to UNLV, and their offensive numbers were bad.
Good news: Improvement on offense is very likely, as it returns 9 starters including some good RB's. The special teams also looks good, the O-line returns nearly everyone, and QB Carson Strong is ready to be a multi-year starting QB.
Bad news: That O-line was crap last year, so hopefully it gets it's act together in 2020. The defense has some good pieces, but it also has a new coordinator.
Key games:
9/5 @ Arkansas (Over the last 2 years, both Colorado State and San Jose State had upset Arkansas. Will Nevada join this list?)
9/26 vs. San Diego State (Like Air Force/Boise State in the Mountain, this game won't decide the West division but will play a BIG role in who does win it.)
10/3 @ Hawaii (Last year Nevada lost to Hawaii 54-3. In Reno!!)
11/7 @ San Jose State (San Jose is under the delusion that they can challenge for the West this year.)
11/28 @ UNLV (One of the bigger priorities for Nevada this year is taking back the "Fremont Cannon" from the Rebels.)
Bottom line: This could be a big year for the Nevada Wolfpack; maybe all they need to do to win their first West division title is to make sure their defense runs well. If it does, Carson Strong and company should do the rest. That early game with San Diego State looms large, however.
