Nevada

Post by 3rdGenAggie » November 3rd, 2020, 9:24 am

I mean, I know we're bad this year, but how good is Nevada?

I just found a site where USU is 15.5 point underdogs to Nevada. Seems big, regardless of how terrible USU has been.

Nevada might be the 3rd best team in the conference right now.

Nevada is a good team. They have a really good young QB that is tearing it up. Hopefully the aggies can improve this week, but Nevada will be a very strong test.

Tough to see how USU could change much from what we've seen so far. They've probably had two practices since Saturday's game considering Tuesday was off and today is travel?

Only hope is we're better than we've looked due to playing the best teams in the league first....but I'm not holding my breath.

Line up to 16.5, btw

Being a 15 pt dog to Nevada is an indictment on the current state of our program. Nevada may be pretty good, but there is no way that any conference mate should be 15 point favorites.

They returned practically everyone on offense and they’ve taken the next step.

I do think our defense matches up better against them than we did against SDSU

I agree. We should match up with Nevada’s spread much better than we did playing smash mouth football with SDSU. That Dunkle dude totally road graded our Dline allowing any back they threw out there to get to the second level before being touched, especially in the second half after wearing us out. I actually feel we cover the spread.

Yep. If I remember correctly we landed verbal commitments from Billy Dunkle, Andy Koch and Hale Motu'a'puaka over the same weekend. Dunkle went home to San Diego, where the coaching staff at San Diego State heard that he had committed to USU. They offered him that week and by the weekend he was an Aztec.
