Wolf Pack's senior class full of survivors

Nevada strength coach Matt Eck grabbed the Wolf Pack’s new pups during one of their first days together five seasons ago and let them know that only the strongest were going to survive.

“Coach Eck held us in the weight room and told us, ‘Look around. There’s only going to be about 10 of you guys left your senor year,’” linebacker Alex Bertrando recalled. “We were all, ‘No, that’s not going to happen.’”

But that’s exactly what has happened. That message was delivered back in 2012 and the Nevada freshmen were going through one of their first lifting sessions.
