Let me introduce you to the beasts of the non-BCS world. No it's not TCU, with their deep Texas roots, or Utah with their continue success ever since the years of Urban Meyer, nor is it that team I won't mention with the blue field. Welcome to the pistol offense, welcome to Colin Kaepernick country, the best wolfpack that's not from North Carolina. Yes, this is the best non-BCS team, this is the University of Nevada.
After victories over Cal (Pac-10) and BYU the past two weeks, the polls have given them their due, and have placed them in the top 25. They've outscored their opponents by 105 points, and that's only through the first four games. They put up 52 on the Golden Bears, and then held BYU to 13 points in their first road game of this young season.Kaepernick has run for over a 100 yards a game... And he's a quarterback, one with almost 1,000 pass yards. Vai Taua, who actually is a runningback, also has over 400 yards in the four games the Wolfpack have played, and won. They've out-rushed their opponents 1,145-556. That's a hefty stat as well. And now it looks as if their defense might be coming around as well. Even though finding offense has been tough for BYU, the Cougars still scored 17 and beat the "Hurt Locker" and Washington (BCS eligible) opening week, and only managed the 13 against Nevada.
You can look at Nevada in two ways. My way is it could take at least a bit of talk and talk and more talk off "you know who". Then, the other way you could look at is, "OMG, not another non-BCS school." Mabe we should just put Nevada, TCU, Houton, Utah, and that team that's ranked third in the nation, and put them all in a conference together so we can have one clear-cut BCS headache. But, obviously this is just a far off thought, but so is that "P" word that makes the BCS quiver. Don't worry, I'm not gonna say it... PLAYOFFS! *shiver*. Sorry, couldn't help myself. But back to my main subject, which is the Nevada boys. They have a cup-cake schedule. No surprise there. They have UNLV next week. Oh no, not the Runnin' Rebels! Hide ya kids, hide ya wife! (ok, I way over use that video). But really, there's only one team besides may be a Fresno State that can beat Nevada. And that's the "Blue Boys" from Idaho. And that game will be played on green, in Reno, on November 26th, a Friday night where the whole college football world will be watching, as long as a 10:15 start time here on the east coast isn't past bed times. That game will supply plenty of fireworks for those who watch.
Until the showdown, we'll wait, and ESPN will talk, talk, and talk, about the "Potato Boys". Who would you pick if they played this week. I can hear the answers now. Desmond? "Man, who do you think!" BCS? "Ummmm, whatever doesn't cost us the most money and doesn't cause controversy." Gotcha. Who knows, may be next year Nevada will be the "hype" team. If I were that Broncos team, I'd watch it, because the Wolfpack might start stealing your bandwaggon fans. "Climbin' in your windows, snatchin' yo people up!" Ugh... So Lou, who do you think would win? "Nootra *spat* Daamee!!!" That's what I thought.
