[Stallion]

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

[RGV Pony]

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

how does he compare to Dobbs?

[ponyscott]

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.

[RGV Pony]

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.

how does he compare to Dobbs?

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

[CalallenStang]

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

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