Nevada Football: A look into its two-game start, by the numbers

The Ken Wilson era has gotten off to a clean start!

The Nevada Wolf Pack moved to 2-0 on Saturday, picking up a 38-14 record over the Texas State Bobcats in their home opener at Mackay Stadium.

Nevada’s competition of their first two games, however, was subpar; they faced two foes that ranked No. 128 and No. 118 (out of 130 teams) in SP+ in 2021, respectively, though some of the results have been very encouraging given the lack of experience across the roster.

Anywho, let’s look at this two-game sample by the numbers through those two games, even though the sample size and competition discrepency across the Mountain West suggest they might not mean anything at season’s conclusion.
