It’s a one-game season for a one-off team.
Nevada will take the field Monday for the Quick Lane Bowl with a depth chart it’s never used before. Nor will this group of players return intact for the 2022 season.
That’s the sort of thing that happens when 15 or so players jump into the transfer portal between the conclusion of the regular season and a bowl game.
The Wolf Pack (8-4) will line up against Western Michigan (7-5) on Monday without a number of familiar faces, particularly on offense.
Nate Cox, not Carson Strong, will direct the offense at quarterback, and he’ll be without the top six wide pass-catchers from the regular season, all of whom have left the roster.
