Earning His Comp Car?

So says Pat Forde at ESPN:

Coach Who Earned His Comp Car This Week
Nevada's Chris Ault (36), whose team was 0-3 heading into October -- and a pretty bad 0-3 at that, outscored by 60 points. Since then the Wolfpack is 8-0, having scored 50 or more points five times. Nevada will pose a worthy test for unbeaten Boise State on Friday night on the blue turf.


That said... we're not North Carolina State, Mr. Forde. It's "Wolf Pack" here. Just don't ask why that's the case, seeing as there are, far as I know, no wolves in Nevada. There was, however, a former NC State coach by the name of Buck Shaw who briefly served as a line coach at Nevada; considering how small Nevada was at the time, it wouldn't be terribly surprising if Shaw was able to convince people to change the team's name from the original "Sagebrushers" to something that sounded a little tougher.
