Dan Hinxman had an interesting look at next year, along with his year-end team report card. If you ask me, and you haven't, I think it's pretty dern fair. A few thoughts of mine before my Pappy and I hit the egg nog until we go blind:
Quarterback
Nevada could have two of the best quarterbacks in the WAC next year in junior (next season) Nick Graziano, who was lost to a foot injury in the team's fifth game this season, and sophomore Colin Kaepernick, who was named the WAC's Freshman of the Year and entered the bowl game with the nation's fifth-best passer-efficiency rating.
Agreed. I think that Kaep's problems were strictly mental in the bowl game. Well, let me elaborate.
Our offensive line looked worse than week old sardines on the hood of a Studebaker, and that put far more undue pressure on our youngster which is hard to overcome. So, as the game wore on I thought he looked a bit too jittery, even the times where the line did give him halfway adequate pass protection. There were definately a few mistakes in there, though, I believe were nerves plain and simple, and I always thought that this was a coaching area where Ault worked very well...in the past, anyway.
Special teams
Senior placekicker Brett Jaekle returns, but the Pack needs to find a punter to replace Zachary Whited. The Pack also loses top return man Alex Rosenblum.
Don't worry, someone will "walk" into those spots.
Okay, that's all for now. Until later, Happy Ho Ho Ho. Here's a nice non-related story from the RG-J:
