The Wolf Pack football team opened its non-conference schedule at Northwestern, a team that is receiving votes in both major Top 25 polls. It closes its non-conference slate at Washington State, a team that is ranked 20th in the AP Top 25 and 22nd in the Amway Coaches Poll.
But it is this week’s opponent – Toledo, from the MAC – that Nevada head coach Jay Norvell deems to be the most complete of the team’s non-league foes despite the fact the Rockets aren’t getting any Top 25 votes and don't play in a Power 5 conference like Northwestern or Washington State.
