'They take advantage of every opportunity. Last year, every time we misfit a run, they hit the run for a big play,' said Boone, on Rodriguez.

Arizona Wildcats head coach Rich Rodriguez will recognize a familiar face on the opposing sideline when he faces Nevada on Saturday: Scott Boone.

Boone was an assistant coach at Wabash College in Indiana, while Rodriguez was the head coach at Glenville State in West Virginia. According to RGJ.com, Boone remembers Rodriguez as the "true inventor" of the spread offense.
