Re: Northwestern/Nevada
[ QUOTE ]
One minor detail to consider:
[ QUOTE ]
Nevada ranks dead last in net punting in the Western Athletic Conference stats, averaging a little more than 25 yards a kick, and eighth in gross punting at 33 yards per kick.
That's why Zach Whited was given an opportunity to kick against Colorado State last weekend after Tom Barcia punted the first two games. Whited had his first attempt blocked, and CSU recovered it in the end zone for its only touchdown of the game.

Not that this is a huge thing to worry about, but Northwestern will face good field position every time Nevada can't score.

Good info, I always forget to look at special teams. It's so easy, yet so foolish, to ignore. I still like Nevada -7, but feel less comfortable now than I did before you pointed this out.
