We will find out how good of a team Nevada is when they go on the road to play Kansas State, the team that just knocked off Stanford. I predict they lose that game. I agree with you they are a very good Mountain West team, but they do not play particularly well on the road (until Saturday night, that is). They got beat in Hawaii last year. They will have a nice little 10-2 regular season and beat Tulane in the Captain Crunch Bowl. And I am thinking that record would be 6-6 if they played Cal's schedule.

I think the comparison to the 2010 Nevada team is a much different animal. Kaepernick was a player that college football had never seen before. He was also perfectly suited for Chris Ault's pistol offense. He remains the only college quarterback in history who had over 9,000 passing yards and 3,000 yards rushing. No wait a minute....I'm wrong there. There was another quarterback who did that. His name was Cody Fajardo. He also played for Nevada and was the guy who ruined Cal's new stadium opening in 2012.
