The conditioning was a little lacking, but that'll come back as practices resume. The most impressive part of Nevada 's win over Hawaii was the pass rush. The Wolf Pack sacked UH QB Timmy Chang six times. Head coach Chris Tormey had wanted to redshirt his freshmen, but they've been his best players. Chance Kretschmer has been their best runner with 370 yards, or 362 according to the NCAA, while safety Keone Kauo is quickly becoming their best safety.
Rice goes from the running game of Nebraska to the passing game of Hawaii.
Hinshaw has has been really happy with his linebackers. Joe Bob Thompson and Rashard Pittman have stepped up their play with Dan Dawson to form a solid corps. Former SJSU player Dwayne O'Steen died at 46 of a heart attack. SJSU got their game against Nevada pushed until November 10th. SJSU athletic director Chuck Bell was really, really ticked about the move wanting to play it last weekend.
