Nevada 14 point favorites

Line just came out in Las Vegas. Seems about right to me.

Thoughts?

Probably about right. I think we'll make it a better game than that though.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Seems about right.

Initially, I would have thought more, before I realized how bad their pass defense was.

Sounds tighter than I thought...I thought it would be a 18.5 or so point spread. These guys have been to 5 straight bowls and the QB and running backs are seniors so they are well seasoned and we are going to our first Bowl with lots of youngsters in tow.

Will all out NG's be back and healthy?
This game shows our need to get a few more in the herd of big men.

I think it should be 20pts+. We can't stop Marshall or Tulane's running game. This is far superior. Not sure if anyone caught the Nevada/Boise State. They are impressive.

I agree. Who cares if their pass D is horrid....our pass offense isn't #1 either. Barely top 30. Not even averaging 300+ passing yards per game and I the TD to INT ratio isn't even impressive. For a pass happy offense this needs to change. I am still waiting for this offense to click on all cylinders and drop 40+ points on someone.

Too bad Evan quit. He would be a big part of stopping the Nevada rushing attack and would have a free trip to Hawaii as well. Too bad. Anyone know what he plans to do regarding transferring?

As a Hawaii fan, I *wish* that they were seniors...both the QB and RB (Taua) are juniors.

I have no idea but I have seen him at football and most recently the TCU basketball game so I guess he is finishing out the semester at school before transferring.

Wow this is the bowl game with the most heavily favored game. Which seems dead wrong to me, IMO it should be a great game to watch and a shootout.
