NOLA Bowl: Louisiana vs Nevada

[angeleast]

This was the matchup both schools wanted. They negotiated heavily with SEC and ACC for this.

Why would Notre Dame want this?? They are not that good and i see them having huge issues stopping lsuwho running game

Congrats to the team, coaches, fans, and University.
This will be our toughest bowl game in History. Nevada is a respected program.
Geaux Cajuns!

Very few opponents could get me excited about this game, but Nevada is one of them. They'll have our attention. Should be an exciting game.

This is a VERY difficult opponent, just look at their schedule and you can tell. We will need to play at the level we did against stAte to be able to win this game. That said, I do like what our coaching staff has been able to accomplish over the past few seasons when given time to prepare. Lets geaux, for in a reaux!

Anyone have a link to the Nevada message board? It's always fun to read the uncommon opponents' points of view

"Cody Fajardo is our QB. He is a four year starter and only the second QB in history to be in the 9,000 (yards passing) 3,000 (yards rushing club)..Fajardo is typically a good passing quarterback, but he hasn't done much in that area the last few games. He had an awful senior night against Fresno (along with the rest of the team, hence why they're currently headed to New Orleans), and only went 5 of 13 for 46 yards (albeit with four total TDs) in his last game. His top receiver sustained a concussion against Air Force and is done for the year, and Fajardo apparently had some injury of his own the week of the UNLV game, so those might be the reasons why.

He's also three yards shy of a 1,000-yard rushing season, and is the second player in FBS history to finish his career with 9,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards (Kap being the other)."

Really looking forward to this one, should be a very good game.

God help us. This game could get ugly.

Our sieve pass defense makes every SBC quarterback look like the second coming of Terry Bradshaw.
