Nevada comes into the TAC on Saturday having won eleven straight versus the Bulldogs. Nevada is 8-7 on the season but may have faced the toughest OCC of any WAC schools with games against North Carolina, Cal, and Oregon State. They are fresh off an OT win at New Mexico State.

*Nevada is a young team that you don’t know what you are going to get.  They may have some lingering effects from the OT game at New Mexico State (altitude takes a lot out of you) plus the travel. Hopefully the wall the Bulldogs hit in the second half against Utah State will happen to Nevada Saturday.
