Eagles blog BC Interruption watched their team waste another solid defensive effort, par for the course this season.
The offensive finished the night with just 183 total yards. Rettig finished the night a disappointing 14-34 for 119 yards and two interception. The only real bright spot on offense was Andre Williams 30-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to give BC an early 7-0 lead.
The defense played a very good game, limiting the Nevada rushing offense to 114 yards (2.8 yards per attempt). Nevada’s Pistol offense is one that averaged over 300 yards a game on the ground this season. With an average offense, you’ve got to think that any time you turn the Nevada offense over three times, you are going to put yourselves in a good position to win the game.
