They’re a matched pair of opposites. The University of Nevada offense is brand new to the Air Raid, and its coordinator has known it intimately since its inception.
Matt Mumme was attending junior high in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in 1989 when his father, then-Iowa Wesleyan coach Hal Mumme, pieced together the Air Raid offense in collaboration with assistant Mike Leach.
Almost three decades later, Generation I of the Air Raid faces Generation II on Saturday (3 p.m., Pac-12 Networks) at Martin Stadium when a Washington State team (3-0) coached by Leach plays a Nevada club (0-3) whose first-year offensive coordinator is Matt Mumme.
