Nevada coach had eye on upset loss for Hogs

FAYETTEVILLE -- Jay Norvell's most intensive look at the University of Arkansas football team last season was a bad, bad look for the Razorbacks.

Norvell, entering his fourth year as head coach at Nevada, had a double purpose in checking out the Razorbacks' home game against San Jose State on Sept. 21.

Norvell's Wolf Pack had a road date at Arkansas on the schedule for Sept. 5, 2020, in the Razorbacks' home opener.

And Nevada was scheduled to face the Spartans a few weeks later at Mackay Stadium in Reno, Nev.

So Norvell gave the game a solid slice of scrutiny.
