In their meeting in the 2008 season they met at Fresno St with Nevada pulling out the 41-28 road victory as a 2 point favorite. Nevada ran all over the Bulldogs with 472 yards rushing on the Fresno St defense. Fresno St was very sloppy in that contest with 4 turnovers to Nevada’s none. Fresno St is 6-3 this season and is bowl eligible following their big 31-21 road victory over a hostile crowd at Idaho on a national television game. Fresno St running back Ryan Mathews has put up tremendous numbers on the season with 1459 yards rushing on 205 carries on the season. Mathews rushed for 143 yards on 26 carries with 3 rushing touchdowns in victory last week against Idaho. Mathews have put up impressive numbers on good teams with 234 yards on Boise St, 107 on Wisconsin and 145 on the Cincinnati Bearcats. Mathews does not have a game less than 106 yards this season. Junior quarterback Ryan Colburn is hitting on 62% of his passes with 13 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. The interceptions came earlier in the year and his passing attempts have been cut down dramatically as the team has had great success running the football. Fresno St’s run defense will need to be good against Nevada and Fresno St is 4th in the WAC against the run allowing 169 yards per game and a high 5.5 yards per rush against average. The Nevada Wolf Pack is 6-3 on the year and is bowl eligible. The team has won 6 straight games and coming off a total pounding of San Jose St 62-7 last week on the road. Nevada has ran all over the WAC defenses they have faced with 363 yards rushing per game and a 7.3 yards per carry average against the 4 WAC conference teams they have played. Junior quarterback Colin Kaepernick is hitting on 61% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Kaepernick has thrown just 1 interception over his past 7 games. The junior signal caller is a dual threat that will run the football and he has gained 559 yards rushing over his past three games. Running backs Vai Tua has 7.5 yards a carry average and Luke Lippincott rushes for 6.9 yards a carry average this season for the Wolf Pack as they have led a solid running attack. Nevada will need as well to be good against the run and the team is #2 against the run allowing 114 yards per game and 3.6 yards per carry against average. Nevada is very bad against the pass allowing 300 yards passing a game and it will be interesting to see if Fresno St will increase their passing with Mathews having such a great season.
