Nevada takes the field for the first time in its final WAC season against an Oregon team trying to recover from a nationally-televised wipeout against LSU in its season opener. Both of these teams are looking to compete for their conference titles -- Nevada, in the only season in a long while where it will be free of Boise State while it waits to move the Mountain West, and Oregon, trying to go from an undefeated romp through the Pac-10 to a repeat in the larger Pac-12.
Nevada Vs. Oregon Game Time, TV Schedule, Spread And More
Oregon tries to recover from a big loss in the season opener while Nevada prepares for its final year in the WAC.
Expect a lot of running, at least unless and until things get out of hand. Nevada ranked third in rushing offense last year, including putting up 316 yards against a Cal team that largely slowed down the Oregon running attack last year. That rushing offense, by the way, was ranked fourth in the country in 2010, even though the Ducks managed just 95 yards in their opener this season.
Of course, Nevada's leading rusher in 2010 (Vai Taua) and star quarterback Colin Kaepernick are among the losses from last year's 13-1 team. That's probably way the line is overwhelmingly tilted toward the Ducks.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, September 10, 3:30 pm ET
Location: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, Oregon
TV: FX
Spread: Oregon -27
