Could the Nevada Wolfpack become the pack attack they once use to be? Let’s dive into the Wolfpack team.
2018 Nevada Wolfpack Predictions: Team Strengths
Pack Attack: The Nevada Woldpack have spent years trying to form one of the best offensive shows in College Football, and they might be onto something in the upcoming season. This offense needs to be ran with quarterback Jay Norvell, and nobody else.
The Pack made a mistake last season with turning away from Norvell earlier has he struggled early in the season, but when he returned to the Pack from the bench, he started an offensive power house.

Gangi needs to be the leader as his 2,746 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions is something Nevada has not seen since the Kaepernick days. Gangi is also a dual-threat quarterback as well as he rushed for 233 yards and four touchdowns.
2018 Nevada Wolfpack Predictions Team Weaknesses:
Weak Secondary: The Wolfpack are starting to build a nice resume on the offensive side of the ball, however they need that to flourish due to the lack of defensive players who have been able to stay healthy and make plays for Nevada.
The Pack were able to snag up a couple of transfers to boost up the defensive line, as they were one of the few teams in the Mountain West to never get pressure on the opposing quarterbacks.
Without a pass rush, the secondary was tested every single down. Clearly they were not able to handle it.

Looking at the roster at the moment, they also only about three cornerbacks who have had at least one year of football experience in the collegiate level. They are going to need tons of help from the men down on ready to pressure or else it could be another big play giving defense.
Nevada Wolfpack Prediction: 5-7
Looking at their schedule, what worries me the most is that four game road trip. They should be able to compete in all of those games, but it comes down to the quarterback play.
Gangi has been one of the most impressive quarterbacks in the Mountain West, however when he gets shut down, he can turn into one of the most inexperienced backs out there.

A slow start from Nevada will lead to their downfall, just like last season. However they do finish up strong with huge wins against SJSU and UNLV.
