Even Pack backup quarterback Nate Cox looked like Colin Kaepernick and ran for a 15-yard touchdown. Morrow, who had just 33 yards all season, had two runs of 40 yards or more. The Rams gave no effort all night long on defense. Of course not.įive of the Pack’s first six plays were passes and the game was basically over four minutes into the game with the Pack up 14-0. Did the Pack, the worst rushing team in the nation heading into the game, go into Saturday focused on establishing the run? Stop laughing. But it is difficult to embarrass a team that played like it didn’t care. Yes, Colorado State should be embarrassed. The Pack ran the ball 35 times for 226 yards and three touchdowns.
Toa Taua ran the ball 14 times for 76 yards, Devonte Lee had 57 on seven and Avery Morrow came off the bench to get 88 yards and a touchdown on five carries. We just witnessed the single greatest regular season of quarterbacking in Wolf Pack history. But Strong did what he was supposed to do just the same. They obviously put absolutely no effort into beating the Pack all week and did even less on Saturday. The Rams obviously didn’t watch a single frame of film on Nevada and spent the majority of the game playing man coverage against the Pack receivers. OK, yes, Colorado State is an awful football team and basically didn’t show up Saturday. He was 17-of-22 for 288 yards and four touchdowns in less than three full quarters. Strong was brilliant against Colorado State in what just might be his final college game.
No, he is not going to win the Heisman Trophy, but that says more about the Heisman process than it does about Strong. There is not a player, let alone a quarterback, who has had a better season in college football this year than Carson Strong. Grading the Nevada Wolf Pack’s 52-10 victory over the Colorado State Rams last Saturday night in Fort Collins, Colo.:
