Thanks for your reply. I'm real...Pack Backer,<br /><br />Thanks for your reply. I'm really looking forward to the game and to see Lantrip give it a go. We are still unsure if Cliff Harris will play in that game because of the suspension/off the field issues that he has been having; however, I think that they have some gifted backups with Terrence Mitchell and Troy Hill. The Oregon defense is losing some really crucial players in Bair and Casey Mathews. Kiko Alonso was expected to step into Mathews role...but he, too, has been a huge bonehead off the field. So Nevada could have an opportunity to do some damage on offense, especially if they catch Oregon sleeping after the big road trip to open the season against LSU. I'm not sure how they will do against Nevada's pistol...they've seen it against UCLA and Portland State, but that's not saying much. I do think Ault's system isn't all that different from the run-based spread that Chip Kelly runs. The option plays look very similar...but I'm no offensive guru, by any means. I think that if they can use the run to set up the pass, they are in a good place, but if Oregon shut's down the run it could be a long night.<br /><br />It's hard to describe the effect that Autzen has on opposing teams. It's not the largest stadium I've ever been in, but it absolutely the loudest. You can see it when it starts to effect the other team.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Wolf Quackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445922502447564244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305690129671561982.post-28008770627469811832011-07-06T09:15:56.253-07:002011-07-06T09:15:56.253-07:00Wolf Quack,

I think the potential is there to at least keep things interesting, but there's definitely a lot stacked against them. I did an interview with OBNUG recently where I outlined some of my expectations for how Lantrip will run the pistol: http://www.obnug.com/2011/6/24/2239282/on-nevadas-rebuilt-offense-and-pack-fan-excitement-five-questions<br /><br />Realbronco,<br /><br />Thanks for coming here. With all due respect, I think you should re-read my entry and respond with something more relevant to the topic at hand. Have a nice day all the same.Pack Backerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182505932616721597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305690129671561982.post-37096035168017215252011-07-05T21:22:59.643-07:002011-07-05T21:22:59.643-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Realbroncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418980775103452128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305690129671561982.post-20977822392006241742011-07-05T21:22:42.445-07:002011-07-05T21:22:42.445-07:00"Getting invited to a conference that actuall..."Getting invited to a conference that actually has a future." Love these comments guys! No really, keep trying to convince yourselves that the MWC would have invited UNR if Utah and BYU had stayed. Ohh snap... "You mean to tell us Pack fans that we really shouldn't be getting into the MWC and that the said conference is desperate so they chose us?(annoying Pack fan voice!!!)"YES, you got it- you are exactly RIGHT!!!! You shouldn't be in the MWC (next year), but because Utah and BYU left, the MWC begrudgingly chose to invite the lowly UNR! It's really kind of sad when you start to think about it isn't it? I mean UNR was a PLAN B! Wow, that's gotta hurt! Ohh well, you can't change who you are right!! P.S. I hate your uniforms!! P.S.S. I look forward to BSU beating that crap out of you guys on the Blue turf this year!! Look at the bright side- you can go home and brag to all of your friends that you got your butt's kicked by a REAL Mountain West team!!!! Enjoy the WAC!Realbroncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418980775103452128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305690129671561982.post-84267267454128632162011-07-05T12:30:57.732-07:002011-07-05T12:30:57.732-07:00I'm a Nevada and an Oregon grad with strong ti...I'm a Nevada and an Oregon grad with strong ties to both schools. How do you suppose Nevada will do in Autzen stadium this fall with the loss of Kaepernick. Will the line hold up? How does Lantrip do? How do they handle the loudest stadium in the country? I'm really looking forward to the matchup...part of me wishes it had happened last year. Would have loved to have seen what the 2010 team could do in that situation.Wolf Quackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445922502447564244noreply@blogger.com
