WAC Game of the Week

New Mexico State 48 … Nevada 45
In a wild shootout, New Mexico State got three touchdown passes from Chase Holbrook and a 83-yard fumble return for a touchdown to pull off the upset. Nevada roared on the ground with 313 yards helped by a 32-yard scoring run from Colin Kaepernick, but it was the four touchdowns from Vai Taua that helped the Wolf Pack keep up the pace. Kaepernick hit Chris Wellington for a 19-yard touchdown pass to pull the Pack within three with just under four minutes to play, but the Aggies were able to run out the clock. The two teams combined for 56 first downs and 1,020 yards.

WAC Player of the Week
New Mexico State QB Chase Holbrook completed 28-of-47 passes for 409 yards and three touchdowns with an interception, and ran for a score in the win over Nevada.

Conference
Roundup

Boise State … Boise State went on the road and simply out-physicaled Southern Miss, at least on defense, while Kellen Moore keeps on improving as an all-around passer. This was the big test. The WAC schedule doesn’t really offer any challenges outside of the road trips to San Jose State and Nevada, but those are very winnable. After winning this easily at USM, there’s no reason to not run the table.
Fresno State … Fresno State might have beaten Idaho 45-32, but the defense remains a tremendous disappointment. It’s not tackling, it’s not physical enough against the run, and there’s no pass rush whatsoever. Idaho might be the nation’s worst team, and the Bulldogs struggled to put them away in the fourth quarter. Tom Brandstater is doing fine and the offense is moving the ball, but the defense has to show it can stuff someone next week against Utah State, or the following trip to Louisiana Tech will be a season-crushing loss. FSU has to be perfect from here on out.
Hawaii … Hawaii isn’t going to bomb away like the Colt Brennan days, but the defense came up with a nice performance in the win over Louisiana Tech while Inoke Funaki is growing into the quarterback job. At 2-1 in the WAC with a trip to Boise State ahead, the team can make a real statement with a win. More likely, the Warriors will have to take care of business at home while coming up with a key road win over New Mexico State. A bowl game is extremely possible, but Funaki has to make the offense more explosive for it to happen.
Idaho … Considering how miserable the season has been so far, Idaho showed signs of offensive life outgaining Fresno State 452 yards to 443. Nathan Enderle had one of his best days under center as he didn’t make many mistakes and he kept the offense moving. It’s a moral victory; the team like last year, doesn’t quit.
Louisiana Tech … The Louisiana Tech no-huddle offense didn’t exactly light up the Hawaii defense. Taylor Bennett struggled with his accuracy and threw two interceptions, but Ross Jenkins wasn’t much better. The Bulldogs should be getting more form a running game that’s hit of miss, but Daniel Porte and WR Phillip Livas made plays when they had the chance. Now there’s a layup against Idaho that should break the gloom of a bad two-game losing streak. It’s time to get the offense working; that’s what the Vandals are for.
Nevada … Devastating. Nevada can’t afford to lose home games, much less home games to New Mexico State. The Wolf Pack defense was non-existent despite generating a decent pass rush. Vai Taua was magnificent as he showed he’s more than good enough to finally be a workhorse for the attack weeks after Luke Lippencott was knocked out with his knee injury. QB Colin Kaepernick was his normal great self, and he was able to lead the way to a key late score, but the defense couldn’t get him the ball back. Fortunately, Utah State is up next to cure all the ills.
New Mexico State … Was the win over Nevada the biggest win for New Mexico State in the Hal Mumme era? It might have been. Now the Aggies are in the WAC title chase, and while the defense isn’t good enough to win the whole ball of wax, a bowl game is possible. The offense finally exploded with Chase Holbrook roaring for 409 passing yards, but just as important was the way the offense closed out the final four minutes. Nevada had all the momentum after pulling within three late, but Holbrook ended all the drama. San Jose State and Idaho are up next before the showdown against Boise State.
San Jose State … 2-0 in conference play and with the offense starting to roll under Kyle Reed. San Jose State is going to be a player. After rolling over Utah State, the Spartans have to do more on the road against a confident and experienced New Mexico State team coming off a win over Nevada. San Jose’s secondary has done an excellent job over the last few weeks, but to win, more will be needed from the ground game to keep Chase Holbrook and the Aggie offense off the field.
Utah State… Diondre Borel tried to come in to help the cause against San Jose State, but the Aggies just don’t have the firepower to make comebacks on a regular basis. There isn’t much of a running game considering the team is in scramble mode, and 119 passing yards isn’t much to mount a comeback with. Even so, Borel is a playmaker who at least gives defenses something to worry about.
