For a second straight week, Boise State’s offense faces the same type of unusual defense — and it could again fluster the Broncos, or they could right the ship to get some needed momentum.
Nevada runs a defense that’s similar to San Diego State’s, a 3-3-5 system that employs five defensive backs and likes to use pressure to create mistakes.
The Broncos mustered just 229 total yards against the Aztecs last Saturday, while the Wolf Pack held Fresno State to 271 yards in a 21-3 loss. Nevada allowed just 30 yards rushing, and will test a struggling Boise State run game.
