WAC Conference - Nevada Wolf Pack Preview
The Nevada Wolf Pack picked up nine wins and a piece of the WAC Championship last season, winning its first bowl game since 1996. But HC Chris Ault and his coaching staff won't be resting on their laurels. They still have some hard work ahead of them if they want to remain a contender in the WAC, but the Pack have the players to be just that in '06. QB Jeff Rowe, a senior, will lead the "Pistol offense" established by HC Ault. Rowe threw for 2925 yards with a 21-10 TD/INT ratio last season, and could beat those numbers. With a more experienced O-Line opening holes for him, RB Robert Hubbard should at last match last season's 741 yards and 11 TDs. WR Caleb Spencer leads the WRs and also could beat his '05 stats of 67 receptions. Last season, the Pack averaged 34 PPG. Though many players have graduated, they still have a formidable attack that should get better with time.

On Defense, seven starters are back. The D features an experienced and talented front seven but the secondary could be a concern. However, strong play upfront should enable Nevada to lower the 32 PPG it allowed last year. Special Teams has been an Achilles Heal for years; perhaps the coaches have come up with a solution in the off-season. The Wolf Pack surprised last season but won't have that luxury this season. But they have talent, both on O and D, and the coaching and could score a WAC Championship repeat. They'll get a 'barometer game' early as they open the 2006 campaign with a big road game in Fresno.
