San Diego State vs Nevada Game Preview

Nevada has had to travel way too much. It had the emotional loss to Colorado State, went to Hawaii and lost, and now is back in Reno.

San Diego State had two weeks off, the offense should build on the positives against Hawaii, and the two attacks that struggle so much will make this interesting into the fourth quarter. The fresher team will have a little more.
