The WAC's Nevada Wolf Pack finished second in the WAC last year after an 8-5 (7-1) season. They advanced to the Hawaii Bowl, where they lost to SMU. Nevada led the NCAA in rushing last season with nearly 350 yards per game; the offense produced three 1000-yard rushers, two of whom return for duty in 2010 (QB Colin Kaepernick and RB Vai Taua).
Without a fix to the pass defense, though, this team is sunk. Nevada has finished dead last in pass "D" over the past two seasons, and that's certainly not good enough to cut it. The team could also spend some time developing the passing game and thus creating a more balanced offense; the fantastic running game is often leaned on like a crutch.
