The number, more than any of the others, jumps right off the stat page.
One point four.
That was the average gain on Nevada’s 25 rushing attempts Saturday at Vanderbilt. The inability to get anything going on the ground was a big factor in the Wolf Pack’s 41-10 loss in a game it felt would be much more competitive.
And things don’t get much easier this week for Nevada (1-1), which will face another Power 5 team when Oregon State (1-1) of the Pac-12 visits Mackay Stadium on Saturday.
