  11/03/20 - Romeo Doubs, Sr/2022, Nevada, 6-2, 204 (DS#20 WR) + More +

  Wolf Pack receiver Romeo Doubs averaged more than 31 yards per reception against UNLV on Saturday. Two weeks into the Mountain West football season, it's fair to ask, "Who is going to stop Romeo Doubs?" Well, it won't be UNLV. Nevada's junior receiver ran past the Rebels' secondary Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium - often literally - and finished as the game's biggest difference-maker. Officially, he caught seven passes for 219 yards and one touchdown, a 65-yard strike from quarterback Carson Strong in the second quarter that pushed the Wolf Pack's lead to 17-6. Unofficially, he was a distraction all night for the UNLV defense, which had no choice but to keep him under heavy watch.

It wasn't a breakout game for Doubs, who actually scored a touchdown the first time he touched the ball as a college player (a punt return against Portland State in the 2018 opener). In his two-plus seasons at Nevada, he's had monster games against the likes of Colorado State (120 yards, two TDs), New Mexico (11 catches, 167 yards), and this season against Wyoming (12 receptions, 117 yards). But it could be a sign of things to come for the Wolf Pack's Air Raid attack, and that's not great news for the Mountain West secondaries still scheduled to try and contain Doubs. With senior wideout Elijah Cooks out with an unspecified shoulder injury, Strong's most experienced option becomes Doubs, who has appeared in 27 career games and caught 105 passes. Already this season, Strong and Doubs have connected 18 times for 328 yards, an 18.2-yard average. - Reno Gazette Journal

  11/01/20 - Romeo Doubs, Sr/2022, Nevada, 6-2, 204 (DS#20 WR) + More +

  Romeo Doubs had six receptions for a career-high 211 yards and a score and Nevada beat UNLV 37-17 on Saturday night. Caron Strong was 21-of-27 passing for 350 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions and Toa Taua had 12 carries for 86 yards and a TD for Nevada (2-0, 2-0 Mountain West Conference). Doubs had a 52-yard reception to the 1-yard line to set up a scoring run by Devonte Lee that gave the Wolf Pack a 10-3 lead late in the first quarter and Strong connected with Doubs on a 65-yard touchdown early in the second to make it 17-6. Max Gilliam passed for two touchdowns and Charles Williams had 19 carries for 99 yards for UNLV (0-2, 0-2). It was the first college football game played at the 65,000-seat Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders. Due to restrictions and guidelines regarding the coronavirus pandemic, seating was limited to 3% of capacity, which equates to 2,000 patrons. - Nevada/AP College Football

  10/24/20 - Carson Strong, rJr/2022, Nevada, 6-3, 230 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Carson Strong threw his fourth touchdown pass, a nine-yarder to Romeo Doubs in overtime as Nevada beat Wyoming 37-34 on Saturday night in the Mountain West Conference and season openers for both teams. Strong was 39-of-52 passing for 420 yards. Cole Turner had seven receptions for 119 yards with two touchdowns. Doubs finished with 12 catches for 117 yards. Trailing 28-6 with 3:26 left in the third quarter, Levi Williams led the Cowboys on three consecutive scoring drives. Williams had touchdown runs of 21 and 8 yards, and threw a 21-yard TD pass Gunner Gentry as Wyoming tied it at 28 with 8:30 to play. On the Cowboys' next series, Berdale Robins intercepted a Williams pass and Brandon Talton put the Wolf Pack ahead with a 26-yard field goal with 3:26 remaining. John Hoyland made four field goals for Wyoming, including a 42-yarder with 23 seconds remaining and a 38-yarder in overtime. Williams finished 16-of-31 for 227 yards. - Nevada/AP College Football

  10/23/20 - Nate Cox, rSr/2023, Nevada, 6-9, 225 (DS#58 QB) + More +

  It looks like junior college transfer Nate Cox gets the first shot at the No. 2 slot. Cox is listed as Strong's backup on Nevada's depth chart for Saturday's game, ahead of sophomore Jake Barlage. Although Cox will be unfamiliar to Wolf Pack fans, he won't be difficult to spot. At 6-foot-9, he is the tallest player on Nevada's roster. Cox comes to the Pack after one season at Garden City (Kan.) Community College, where he completed 51.8 percent of his passes for 1,891 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also spent two seasons at Louisiana Tech, but did not play. "Nate's an interesting guy...he's 6-9 and three-eighths; he looks more like a basketball player than he does a football player," Nevada offensive coordinator Matt Mumme said Monday. "He throws a really nice ball, and he can really see the field well just because of his height." - Reno Gazette Journal

  10/20/20 - Carson Strong, rJr/2022, Nevada, 6-3, 230 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  There's no sugar coating it, Carson Strong is the Wolf Pack's QB1 for the 2020 season. And with the type of freshman campaign he put together in 2019, it's hard to argue against it. Strong joined the Wolf Pack out of Vacaville, Calif. and Wood High School as a true freshman in 2018 and made a brief appearance in the tail end of Nevada's 2018 season opener against Portland State. With just that one appearance, Strong redshirted in his true freshman season and picked things up in 2019 as a redshirt freshman ready to lead the Wolf Pack. He won the starting quarterback job in fall camp and helped lead Nevada to a come-from-behind win over Purdue in his first collegiate start. In that game, Strong threw for 295 yards and tossed three touchdowns to no interceptions to aid in the Pack's 34-31 victory over the Power 5 opponent. All-in-all, Strong totaled 2,335 passing yards in his 10 games in 2019, added 11 touchdowns and completed 63.4 percent of his passes. He averaged 233.5 passing yards per game, which ranked fifth in the Mountain West. - Nevada Football

Strong threw a career-best 402 passing yards in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against Ohio, where along with his 31 completions, were Nevada bowl game records. - Nevada Football

  2020 WUERFFEL TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Lawson Hall, Nevada, senior, linebacker,...Over the last few years, Hall has been very active with community service. He has served as a mentor for young athletes in Los Angeles, providing them with knowledge, resources and advice on how to become a better student-athlete. He has also worked with kids in Reno, spending time at the Boys & Girls Club and local grade schools to read and interact with them, and to provide them with a positive figure to look up to. Hall has helped package meals for families in need in both Los Angeles and in Boise, Idaho prior to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl early in 2020.

Additionally, Hall has been an active part of the Black Lives Matter movement, helping to organize a team unity video on the subject in June, which led to him being invited to join a conference call with U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. On the call, Hall discussed racial injustice and provided recommendations to Senator Cortez Masto on what the federal government can do to implement systematic change. - Nevada Football

  06/23/20 - Colin Kaepernick, rSr/2011, Nevada, 6-5, 233 (DS#7 QB) + More +

  Jim Harbaugh, who former president Barack Obama declared last month "on the right side" of race relations and social justice reform in the United States, is now saying the same thing about Colin Kaepernick. In a recent podcast interview with Jed Hughes, vice chairman and head of global sports practice at national consulting firm Korn Ferry, the head football coach at Michigan praised Kaepernick - the former NFL quarterback who was blackballed from the league - for being one of the first sports figures to lead the charge on reform.

"You got to listen to people and really hear what they're saying," Harbaugh said. "Colin's been on the right side of this for a long time. I remember some very early conversations, when Colin decided to take a knee during the national anthem, and the person that's first gets so much backlash. So, just for Colin, like 'I love you, man.' Then to listen to him explain (it)." At the time, in 2016, Harbaugh said he supported Kaepernick in his motivation but took exception to him kneeling for the "The Star Spangled Banner," a ritual before all sporting events in the U.S. Harbaugh reversed course on his stance a year later, when some of his players at Michigan showed support for Kaepernick by raising their fists before games. He later called Kaepernick, who played quarterback on his San Francisco 49ers teams from 2011 to 2014, "a special person and a hero." He echoed those same sentiments in the interview with Hughes. - Ann Arbor News
