Had a feeling that this might happen.
A. Nevada has not been able to stop a passing offense all season. Anyone who can throw the ball has caused havoc for the Wolf Pack.
B. Two of the three 1,000+ yard rushers for NV this season did not play in the game. One injured his toe and had surgery causing him to be unable to suit up. The other didn't make grades and thus didn't even make the trip.
C. Three defensive players got into trouble and were removed from the roster. Two permanently with the status of the third still to be determined.
D. Nevada's track record in bowl games has been very poor. I don't know what they do during the month for preparation, but it certainly isn't translating to success on the field.
E. On the bright side SMU was +400 at the sportsbook today.
