Can Nevada Make a Statement Against Wyoming?

Nevada looks to build momentum after Saturday's win against New Mexico.

If you're a Nevada Wolf Pack fan, there's many things to like about this year's team.

The running game is solid, ranking 20th in the nation with 222.3 yards a game. Both James Butler and Don Jackson have become a perfect two-back system, with each rushing for over 560 yards on the year. They are on pace to each rush for over a 1,000 yards, which would be an amazing accomplishment. Butler broke through New Mexico's defense on Saturday, going for 145 yards and a score, while Jackson rushed for 152 yards in Saturday's win.
