Nevada Dominated by USC 66-14: What we learned, what to expect next

We all knew Nevada wouldn’t manage to keep it close against USC. With any blowout, there are still bright spots we can look at for the Wolf Pack, and how they can adjust for Week 2. Let’s dive into how each side of the ball played, and how Nevada can use this beatdown as a learning curve.

The Offense

We finally got our first look at a Nevada offense led by some Pac-12 transfers. Quarterback Brendon Lewis wasn’t anything special but showed us plenty of flashes. Within the game's first few minutes, Caleb Williams and USC got out to a 7-0 lead.
