Wow Kaepernich has more yards rushing from QB than McNeil does at RB. 7.8 yards per attempt

how does he compare to Dobbs?

After losing their first three games Nevada did go 8-1 in their WAC games but they really poured it on the really bad WAC teams and beat Fresno State by a big margin but Fresno State lost 4 fumbles in that game and was intercepted once.

one of those 3 losses was to Colorado St. While CSU did beat CU, they S U C K. New Mexico's only win this year? Colorado State.

He's listed at 6'6 and 215 pounds so I wouldn't consider him a Dobbs type power runner.

Kaepernick has a long stride. Very good in space. More of a threat to throw than Dobbs is.

Better all round player --he is also pretty good passer.

Actually Doobs is a pretty good passer as he show in the Ohio State game. Probably better than Kaepernick.
