My apologizes to Nicholls and Troy for not giving those power houses their proper due. Really hope Georgia drops like they lost and Clemson at least 5 spots.

Can we ban the really obnoxious folks who posted ND is going to give up 40-50 pts and lose? The rhetoric after a tough loss week 1 was so over the top. Now those same folks will quickly counter big deal it’s Nevada and I agree the win isn’t impressive at all but the absurdity of certain folks on here is a big deal. Meanwhile Georgia almost lost to a guy name Troy and Clemson survived against the Big W. Can we please understand a little before posting silliness? Please I beg. Thank you

Trying to understand the call by the refs in the first half of incomplete pass in the end zone that the Nevada player picked and took out of the end zone. It was a backwards pass. Can you have an incomplete backwards pass? Isn’t that a fumble?

Rather than be pessimistic, I’ll instead be realistic. This is a Nevada team that Cal Poly took to overtime – at home no less!!! The road trip alone will disrupt any sort of tempo Nevada will try to establish offensively. I fully expect ND to come out with a chip on their shoulder and play for BVG today (for better or worse). They will dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

For the record, I do think that BVG needs to go. We need a coach that can do three things on defense:

1. Get the most and best out of the players week-in week-out.
2. Keep the playbook simple enough to make 1. achievable.
3. Have the backups and reserves fully prepared to step in should a starter go down to injury.

Kelly needs to take the same route he did with Sanford at QB coach and pick outside of his coaching circle to find a worthy D-coordinator. i expect there to be enough tape evidence at the end of the year for him to feel compelled enough to do this.

But for today, I see a big win:

ND 45 Nevada 13

In reply to PC. Starting to make strides is not what ND Football is all about.. Kelly's had 7 years.. And yes, PC, the world is crashing down.

In reply to Camarillo Brillo. Lets hope VG wakes up and gets defense set prior to quick snaps. NO MORE standing and looking at sidelines while Texas snapped the ball.

ND 63, NV 43. Deshone Kizer goes 10/12 from the 3 pt line and hits some clutch shots in the 2nd half to decisively pull ahead of NV. He takes over the game. The defensive does just enough; and in the 2nd half plays tighter and blocks some key shots and forces NV to miss some key opportunities. Their rebounding gets better in the 2nd half and BVG’s fast break defense does just enough. Oh wait this is football….

In reply to GoND88.

Right on, 88. Wish somebody…ANYBODY…would just cut this dude (BVG) loose.
And there’s no damn way I would play Torii Hunter. If we can’t beat these guys without him, shame on us.

Running the wolrd’s most complex college defense looked foolish against a hurry-up offense last week. Maybe none of the ranked teams on our schedule noticed. Did Nevada?
