The Wolf Pack is making a change at quarterback, but it's not Alabama transfer David Cornwell stepping into the starting role but rather true freshman Kaymen Cureton.

Nevada coach Jay Norvell said after Monday's practice Cureton will replace Ty Gangi as the Wolf Pack's starting quarterback Saturday against Idaho State.

"It's just the way he's been practicing," Norvell said. "We've got to show some improvement in our passing game. We're not where we want to be. We've got a lot of opportunities and we have a chance to be really, really productive in the passing game.
