On Nov. 27 of last year, Nevada thrashed Colorado State, 52-10, to finish the regular season at 8-4.
It turned out to be the final game for both head coaches at their respective schools. CSU’s Steve Addazio — who actually managed to get ejected before halftime — was soon fired after two miserable seasons in Fort Collins. He was replaced a few days later by none other than Nevada’s Jay Norvell.
Less than eight months have passed since the Wolf Pack’s big win that night at Canvas Stadium. Nevada, though, could hardly look any different. The Pack team that will open fall camp next week bears very little resemblance to the one that pummeled CSU last season.
