The Wolf Pack’s 2017 roster currently has 87 players. All 87 of those players came to Nevada to play for coach Brian Polian. But when Nevada hits the field for its season opener at Northwestern, Polian will not be on the sideline. The man they signed up to play for has been replaced by a new coach, Jay Norvell.
Those 87 players can take one of two paths. Be bitter that their coach was replaced. Or completely buy into the new coach’s system, scheme and expectations. Nevada senior offensive lineman Austin Corbett, who has served as a team captain the last two years, has seen a team take that first path.
