Kansas Jayhawks: 3 quick thoughts on the Nevada football team

2. Although the defense has some talent, the offense is completely inept

The Nevada football defense is bad, but it’s not the worst unit you’ll ever come across. They’ve forced multiple turnovers in the first two games and returned some talent from last year. The offense, however, is absolutely putrid.

The Wolf Pack averages 2.7 yards per carry and have totaled 167 yards overall. Run defense is one of KU’s bigger defensive weaknesses, but even they won’t struggle against Nevada.

One of the worst statistics you’ll find from this team is their red zone efficiency. They have made it inside the 20-yard line just four times, and connected on touchdowns just once. Not only are they bad offensively, but they can’t score when they do begin to move the ball.

Quarterback Brendon Lewis is expected to lead the charge for Nevada. The Colorado transfer has a 56.6% completion percentage, 286 yards, and no touchdowns across two games. It’s hard to envision a scenario where the Wolf Pack score more than twice tonight.
