08/30/19 - Carson Strong, rJr/2022, Nevada, 6-3, 230 (DS#6 QB) + More +

After trailing 24-7 at halftime, Carson Strong, the first freshman quarterback to start a season opener for Nevada since 1998, led the Wolf Pack to a 34-31 victory Friday against Purdue for the second win against a Big Ten team in program history. Nevada capped the comeback on a 56-yard field goal from freshman kicker Brandon Talton as time expired. The 17-point Nevada comeback tied the second largest comeback for the program since 1996. With the game tied and 32 seconds remaining, Purdue quarterback Elijah Sindelar threw an interception to defensive back Daniel Brown. Nevada tied the game with 52 seconds left on Strong's 20-yard pass to Elijah Cooks.

Strong hadn't started a football game since 2017. He sat out his senior year at Wood High in Vacaville, California and again last year as a redshirt. He completed 30 of 51 passes for 295 yards and 3 touchdowns. Purdue looked in control most of the game, and led 31-17 at the beginning of the third quarter. Sindelar recorded a career high 423 passing yards four touchdowns, but Purdue lost the turnover battle, 5-0, and two of those turnovers were Sindelar interceptions. - AP College Football

08/04/19 - Cristian Solano, rSr/2020, Nevada, 6-1, 195 (DS#999 QB) + More +

The Nevada quarterback competition appears to be down to two players following some bad luck for Wolf Pack senior Cristian Solano. Solano, the lone senior quarterback on the roster, injured his throwing hand at a recent Wolf Pack practice and is expected to miss at least the beginning of the season. At Saturday's Nevada practice at Mackay Stadium, Solano was not in uniform, but did assist the team in some drills while wearing what appeared to be receiver's gloves. Junior transfer Malik Henry, redshirt freshman Carson Strong, true freshman Austin Kirksey and redshirt freshman Hamish McClure were the throwers during Saturday's session.

"Senior quarterback Cristian Solano hit his right hand on a helmet during practice this week and is expected to miss the rest of training camp and part of the regular season due to the injury," Nevada head coach Jay Norvell said in a statement. "He is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days and we're hopeful of his return around the start of conference play." - Reno Gazette Journal
