Gildan New Mexico Bowl: Nevada vs. Arizona
When: Saturday, Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN
Nevada is only 7-5 but has played a very challenging schedule this season. The losses for the Wolf Pack have come to the likes of South Florida, San Diego State, Air Force, Fresno State and Boise State. They have a very talented running back in Stefphon Jefferson. The junior has rushed for over 1,700 yards with 22 touchdowns. Arizona is also 7-5 with most of its losses coming to very talented teams. In his first year as the head coach, Rich Rodriguez has done quite well, particularly on offense. The Wildcats rank 17th in the country, averaging over 37 points a night. That could pose a huge threat to an average Nevada defense.
