The Wolf Pack football team begins its Mountain West season Saturday at Air Force.
Here’s five players to watch — three for Nevada, two for the other guys — when the Pack and the Falcons kick off at 1 p.m. Pacific time.
Nevada
Senior DE Korey Rush
2018 stats: 17 tackles (4.5 for loss); 2 sacks
His role: Along with line-mates Hausia Sekona and Dom Peterson, Rush forms the first line of defense – literally – against the Air Force running game. His ability to stop or disrupt plays will be a big part of the Wolf Pack’s success.
