NEVADA

[Sethpackfan09]

Hey guys. Nevada fan here just wanted to stop by and see how things are around these parts.I also wanted to get to know a little more about the bulls knowing how we play them next week. Ill start off with my analysis on my team.

QB- Fajardo is a sophomore and is living up to the hype of being as great if not greater than Kaepernick. In his game against CAL he went 25-32 for 230 yards and rushed for close to 100. He is the real deal and is very accurate. During the off-season he was invited to the Manning camp. The last QB from Nevada to be invited to that was. Kaepernick. He is also on a couple of watch lists. He is not a big kid 6'3 about but this kid has some wheels and can throw darts. That was the most impressive thing to watch at the CAL game. Fajardo was throwing perfect passes to his WR and TE that I didnt see Kaep. do until he was a SR.

RB- Stefphon Jefferson is a tank at 5'11 220 pounds. He knows how to barrel himself through the defense and is also a little shifty. One thing that worries me though is that he doesn't secure the ball very well. Yesterday he dropped the ball twice on critical plays. He did rush for almost 150 yards. Which is pretty darn good considering that's his first start.

WR- Dangerous group right here. Wimberly just came back after missing last season due to a gunshot wound to the abdomen he is back and better than ever.He had 7 impressive catches for 83 He may be one of the best if not the best WR in the MWC.Aaron Bradley is the future star WR in the group and made some nice catches through traffic too.

TE- Im going to say this is probably our best offensive unit. Arendse and Sudfeld are dominant on and off the line. Very exciting and clutch catches made me very impressed. I am so excited to see this guys play more. They are just clutch clutch clutch. Sudfeld has NFL all over him standing an 6'7 260 he has great hands and the ability to run block.

OL-Barker and Nady are expected first team MWC by the end of the year. Both are very good lineman and are big boys. Nady stands at 6'7 and around 310. The o-line is called the Union that iis stacked with size and weight. 6'3 and 305 is the smallest they get on the line. The union is what makes the offense tick yet unfortunately they shot us in the foot a couple times yesterday with penalties and bad snaps.

DL- Very impressed with the young squad. We had to replace 3 starters. But the new guys that took over especially FR Lenny Jones don't have me worried at all. The line will do fine and did very well stopping the run and getting to the quarterback. They are small, but they are also very quick and have been taught well.

Secondary- Beware this is a SR laden group 6 of the 7 playing are SR's and they could be one of the best out west. Made very solid plays and played well in man to man coverage. Breaking up passes and stopping what could been big plays. Khalid Wooten would be who to keep your eye on. He is everywhere on the field and seems to be in every play.

Overall this team has the goods to repeat 2010 (13-1) The passing and rushing attack is amazing and will cause havoc the whole season. The CAL game should have been a blowout. Nevada was down at the 10 but made a bad snap that took them all the way to the 35 or so on 4th. That cost them to score there. Also to many penalties IMO. We gave them 11 penalties for 110 yards. slice those in half and that takes CAL from 24 to 14. My biggest concern is QB position im very nervous about Fajardo getting hurt he tends to like to get into the pile. I dont want an injury from him or else we are screwd cause our back-up QB's are not ready. Fajardo will run. The key to your defense is to not let him get outside. He gunned for a 49 yard run yesterday to a TD and it was because he escaped to the outside, This Nevada team will be tough to handle up here in Reno. Im looking forward to a great match-up and wish all fans luck coming up here. If you have any questions about the team,food,hotels,or attractions up here ask!

Thanks for popping in. I am concerned about Nevada next week but seem to be in the minority. Before beating Cal I was guessing you would be favored now I am fairly certain you will be. If not you should be. I think our defense will be one of the best we've had in our 16 years. Strengths, LB and Dline, weakness Secondary. Offense is led by Sr BJ Daniels who, barring injury, should end up being the all-time Big East leader in all-purpose yards at the end of the season. We've got depth at RB and WR but haven't seen much of the talent yet. TE is a strong but I think we underuse the position. Special teams is strong, kicker is USF all-time points leader and our Fresh punter seems to have a massive leg. I think it should be a good game and I will be very pleased if we come away with a win, although I am not expecting it,

Nevada will beat us by atleast 10, our OL is a joke and you will sack BJ Daniels atleast 5 times if you have any talent on your DL.

It will definitely be a clash of gameplans and it will be an interesting matchup. Does Nevada have any interest in joining the Big East?

Here are some of my thoughts from our game vs Cal. The game was teetering on the brink of a blowout until we had a bad snap that took us out of scoring position and forced us to punt (we were up 14-0 at that point).

Our defense played a good game. Better than any of us expected. They did give up a few big plays but Cal really only had 2 long drives.

Our offense played up tempo and had Cal's D sucking wind by the 2nd quarter (which was in Berkeley which is right at sea level). Fajardo was lights out with his passing, something like 25-32. He only got sacked once (maybe twice). He also ran for a 50 yard TD. Jefferson ran for 160 yards and 3 tds. The guy is a work horse. We held the ball for 35 minutes and ran 90 plays.

For the game this week. You guys definitely have the talent edge. If this game was being played in Florida I'd easily say you guys would win and win convincingly. But this game is being played in Reno and I think that's the difference in this game. My prediction is Nevada 34 South Florida 31.

Looks like Cal's WR's were able to get some separation on deep passes.

Not sure why the Cal QB was pointing at his bicep on an underthrown ball.

Cause he was being classless and trying to talk trash when he was losing.

No doubt ... flsportsfan83, the official "jinxer" of The BullsPen, has spoken.
