The Mountain West and the entire nation is sleeping on Nevada Wolf Pack running back Toa Taua. Taua was not named to the preseason All-Mountain West team and he was not named to the Doak Walker Watch List, an award given to the nation's top running back. So, yes, the fifth-year senior is basically being ignored this summer heading into his final college season. Taua, one of the best running backs in Wolf Pack history despite playing for a pass-happy head coach (Jay Norvell), deserves more respect than w hat he is getting. Taua has 3,086 career yards and will become just the sixth Pack back in history with 4,000 or more yards, joining brother Vai, who is second all-time at Nevada with 4,588 yards (Frank Hawkins had 5,333). We expect the Pack, a team who will start an inexperienced quarterback this season, to emphasize the ground game. But you never know with all of these young offensive coordinators who like to flash fancy passing stats on their resume. - Nevada Appeal
