We open as a 7 point underdog at home. We are at home and if we do not play stupid, we can win this game. Our streak has a excellent chance of ending this weekend. Go Huskies!

..BTW, Nevada has a WR transfer from NIU, Gary Givens. He is target often , but does not catch many. Last 2 games target 16 times with 1 catch, last four 31 targets and 8 catches. Just a strange stat, thought I would mention it.

Hopefully they'll practice the fake punt. I admire the initiative for going for it but if that play was planned, it was really executed poorly.

Please win. Win this and maybe UTEP, followed by new AD, new Coach - I can finally slow down my drinking....

Looks like Elijah Porter is out. The two deep shows Telly and Jaidaun Cranford at tailback.

He took a BIG hit, concussion is probably the concern. I like Cranford, may not be the best blocker. I would like to see him in routes and not just flats/screens. He has talent.

They can win this game. Just play like they did against UNLV

He definitely looked like he had a concussion .. once he got hit his body was knocked out …

I would love a win this weekend. if we do win, I will wear my NIU shirts all week here in Reno. LOL

All it takes is stop dropping passes that should be caught. I notice this specifically at the UNLV game. There were easily 5 dropped passes that should have been caught.

That and a couple of sacks on 3rd down. Maybe a turnover or 2. That would be nice.

I really like cranford and his fit in this offense.

This is going to be a fun game to watch. We actually have a chance. Gary givens revenge game

Feeling a win.

Is it me or could we have a win or two already if it weren't for some dropped passes that hit our guys right in the hands? I've seen several in close games, like nobody-would-drop-that level mistakes.
