is hawaii's defensive coordinator at the game

your thread titles crack me up

Lets not get carried away now Nevada will be ready for this game just like they are for EVERY big game this year.  BC fans will be few an far between, as this is basically a home game for Nevada

Well if youre going to use that logic then what about Nevada beating Boise State?

BC playing better ball than anyone in the country the second half of the year.

Against the offensive powerhouses of Syracuse, Wake Forest, Duke, Virginia, and Maryland.  I understand BC leads the nation in rush defense, but have they played anyone with anything close to the offensive threats of Nevada?

And although its not at home, Nevada has sold over 17k+ tickets for the game and its a short 3.5 hour drive from Reno. 

Cal, Boise State, Fresno State, Hawaii and BYU going 4-1 winning 2 games SU as dogs.

Im not saying BC is a bad team, im simply stating that Nevada gets up for these big games.  Theres plenty of time to prepare for Nevada's offense, but i dont think BC has seen anything like what Nevada will bring especially with such a mobile QB.   Now im not 100% positive, but i dont think BC has played anyone whose avging over 300 yards on the ground and 230 yards in the air per game.

Furthermore, Its not like BC has an incredible pass attack that could exploit Nevadas suspect secondary.  BCs putrid offense is putting up a VERY mediocre 179 yds/game passing and an even less attractive 137 yds/game rushing.  The difference will be if BC stops the run, Kap is more than capable of taking it to the air against a team giving up 229 yds/game in the air.  The same cant be said for BC.

Define better.

I LOVE BC.  One of my favorite games of the bowl season.  They'll win that game straight up.  Mark it down.

Sooooo lets play the devils advocate.  I posted 2 paragraphs of stats on why Nevada has a shot in this, yet all i hear fom BC backers is who has Nevada played?  Yes the WAC is a shitty conference, but Nevada won they games they were supposed to (short of Hawaii, but that was their worst game of the season TO wise) and they have even won the games THEY WERENT SUPPOSED TO......ie Cal and Boise State

So I ask you BC backers, who has BC played and beat?  Sure as shit wasnt a motivated #3 team in the nation playing for a chance in the National Championship.   

Also, find me a teat BC has played that has the offense that Nevada does......you wont.  Find me a team that has anything close to the dual threat QB that Nevada has.....you wont. 

Nevada, however has faced one of the tougher defenses in the country in Boise State and we know how that turned out.  This team is battle tested and will be ready for this game.  Can Nevada come out and lay an egg?  Sure.......but i dont see it happening with over 20k fans attending the game (No Revis the fans still wont be playing)

After their bowl game . . . Nevada, not that that is saying much!!!

Ha!  Im lookin forward to this game!  This is by far the best Nevada team in the 10 years i have lived up here.  A very well balanced offensive attack......and dont laugh.....an improving defense. 

And if they win the bowl game, im sure itll be a "fluke" just like with Boise State.  I can only hope my Nevada bowl game thread becomes as silent as it did after the Boise State game, and if Nevada loses, i will be the first to congradulate BC backers.
