Maryland vs Nevada, 4:30 PM
The Terrapins should be glad to make this bowl, as they went 1-3 to close out their regular season. Maryland must prepare for one of the nation's top offenses, Nevada. Th Wolf Pack have the 2nd best running game and 5th best passing game in all of college football. If the Wolf Pack can get rolling on offense, the Terrapins may have a very long day.
Maryland is led by Junior QB Chris Turner. He threw for over 1,100 yards with 11 TD's, but struggled this season with throwing interceptions. He goes up against a Nevada defense that ranks last in pass defense. Maryland's halfback, Da'Rel Scott, goes up against a stout defense. The Wolf pack have specialized in stopping the run, ranked 3rd in the nation for run defense. Maryland will need to put up up points to keep up with the Wolf Pack's high, octane offense.
Nevada averaged 510.6 yards on the season, 5th in the nation, and has scored 41.0 points per game since a 69-17 loss to then-No. 6 Missouri on Sept. 13. Vai Taua leads the Wolf Pack in rushing with 1,420 yards and 14 TD's. Sophomore QB Colin Kaepernick is the WAC Offensive Player of the Year. Colin passed for 2,479 yards and 19 TDs while rushing for 1,115 yards and 16 scores. Senior WR Marko Mitchell has over a 1,00 receiving yards while reaching the endzone 9 times.
