  12/11/20 - Carson Strong, rJr/2022, Nevada, 6-3, 230 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Norvell raves about the three roommates, who all pace the MW in their respective statistical categories. Strong is first in the conference in passing yards (2,327) and passing touchdowns (21); Doubs is first in receptions (44), receiving yards (885) and receiving touchdowns (nine). And Turner is second in receptions (40) and receiving scores (six) and third in receiving yards (496), each pacing MW tight ends. "It's fun to coach this group of guys," Norvell said. "It really is. I mentioned Cole Turner and Romeo Doubs and Carson Strong are all roommates, and I kind of call them The Three Amigos. But they all have the same personality. They don't say much. They just love to practice and love to play and have great chemistry together. It's fun to see those guys all kind of mature together."

Norvell said Nevada's offensive improvement is a result of his players having more experience together. Strong, Doubs and Turner were each members of Norvell's second recruiting class and worked out every day together during the summer as the COVID-19 pandemic raged on. They'd sneak out to the field to run routes and grow their on-field chemistry. The bond has been formed over three years of living together and has fully blossomed in 2020. "It 100 percent helps," Turner said of being roommates. "We've all been super close friends. We've always lived together. Always being around each other, we know each other and each other's personalities. We've always gelled. None of us are ever getting mad at each other. We're always on the same page." - Nevada Sports Net

  12/11/20 - Dom Peterson, rSr/2023, Nevada, 6-0, 300 (DS#33 DT) + More +

  Nevada was largely without two defensive starters in last week's win against Fresno State but expects to get one of those players back fully and the other to be a larger contributor. Starting cornerback EJ Muhammad, who missed the Fresno State game with a concussion, has been cleared for Friday's game against San Jose State. "He was under concussion protocol, and those things are tricky," Nevada coach Jay Norvell said. "You never quite know when they're going to release them. There was an opportunity he was going to play, but he just didn't work through the protocol. He's been cleared to practice (this week) and has been out on the field and I anticipate him being ready."

Meanwhile, Dom Peterson, the Wolf Pack's star defensive lineman, played only a couple of snaps against Fresno State with a sprained ankle. He's expected to get more reps against a strong Spartans offensive line. "It's hard to really predict," Norvell said. "I really thought he'd play (against Fresno State). I knew he wouldn't be 100 percent last week. But I think he'll be better this week, and he'll have a few more days to get better. He'll play more than he did last week. I don't know how much more, but I think it'll be pretty hard to keep him out of this game." - Nevada Sports Net

On third-and-10, he beat and then jumped over a defender in the end zone for a 32-yard score with 5:32 to play. Strong completed 23 of 39 passes for 354 yards. Horton finished with five catches for 148 yards. Fresno State's Jake Haener threw a program-high 65 passes, completing 41 including a pair of touchdown passes.

  11/22/20 - Chubba Purdy, rSr/2026, Nevada, 6-1, 205 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  Florida State football coach Mike Norvell shared another devastating bit of injury news Wednesday. The head coach revealed that true freshman quarterback Chubba Purdy will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing season-ending surgery on his collarbone Tuesday. This less than a week after he made his first career start last Saturday at NC State. Norvell added that the surgery Purdy underwent was to remove the hardware inserted into his collarbone during his August surgery which was causing irritation and inflammation. "We had a plan and understood the process of removing the hardware was going to take place due to the inflammation and irritation around that hardware, we had to expedite that," Norvell said. "He'll be ready to go (for spring), just, unfortunately, that timeline is just not quick enough to get him back before the season is over with. I have no concerns about anything here moving forward and it'll definitely have him for spring, whenever spring practice begins." - Times Union

  11/21/20 - Carson Strong, rJr/2022, Nevada, 6-3, 230 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Since Nov. 1 of last year, Strong has been nothing short of one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. With the sophomore from Vacaville, Calif., playing pretty much every down, Nevada has gone 6-2 in that time, including a 3-0 start to this season. What jumps out is the accuracy, not only in terms of completion percentage - a statistic that can be heavily influenced by short passes - but TD/interception ratio. Strong is both taking care of the ball and coming up with big plays. Strong enters the New Mexico game having not thrown an interception in his last 282 attempts, the best such streak in the country by an even 100 attempts. His last pick came in the Wolf Pack's road win at San Diego State last season. "I haven't really been thinking too much about the streak," Strong said last week. "I'm just trying to read the defense and take what they give me every single play. I just want to hit the open man; I don't care who it is. "Seventy-five percent (completion percentage this season) is good, but we could be even better." - Reno Gazette Journal

  11/14/20 - Romeo Doubs, Sr/2022, Nevada, 6-2, 204 (DS#20 WR) + More +

  Carson Strong threw three touchdown passes to Romeo Doubs, who had his second consecutive game with three receiving touchdowns, and Nevada beat New Mexico 27-20 on Saturday night at Sam Boyd Stadium. Strong was 24-of-38 passing for 336 yards with one interception and Doubs - who scored on catches of 33, 61, and 59 yards - finished with five receptions for 172 yards. Strong had a string of 299 consecutive passes without an interception snapped. It is the second-longest streak of its kind in Mountain West Conference history. Fresno State's David Carr set the record of 306 in 2013. Doubs has eight touchdown catches, including one in each game, this season. The junior came into the year with six career TDs.

Nevada's Brandon Talton made his 14th consecutive field-goal attempt, a 34-yarder, to cap the opening drive of the third quarter and, after the Lobos punted on the ensuing possession, Strong hit Doubs for a 61-yard touchdown to give the Wolf Pack their first lead of the game at 20-13 with 4:36 left in the period. Strong's pass traveled approximately 60 yards in the air. Doubs' final touchdown gave Nevada (4-0, 4-0) a 14-point lead with 6:47 to play. - AP College Football

  Along with his character to lead a potent Wolf Pack offense, Strong has showcased a much-improved arm. He's averaging 9.7 yards per attempt, a drastic increase from just 6.2 a year ago. His downfield throws have opened up Nevada's scheme with large chunk plays that puts opposing defenses on its heels. Strong credits his vigorous offseason routine to improve his deep ball accuracy, and it's paid off handsomely to this point. Nevada has three plays of 50-plus yards this season, all of them courtesy of Strong's ability to stretch the field with accurate deep throws. "It's the number one thing I've been working on in quarantine with my dad," he said. "It was something I wanted to improve upon. I love making big plays, and I left a lot of yards on the field out there last year...I'm just going to get better at it, we can start hitting those consistently." - The Nevada Sagebrush

  11/05/20 - Carson Strong, rJr/2022, Nevada, 6-3, 230 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Carson Strong and Romeo Doubs connected for three first-half touchdowns and Nevada defeated Utah State 34-9 on Thursday night for the Wolf Pack's third straight win to start their season. Strong was 36-of-52 passing for 411 yards, 9 yards shy of his career high and his fifth straight 300-yard passing game. He has 282 consecutive pass attempts without an interception, the top active streak in the FBS. Doubs made seven catches for 137 yards after a 219-yard receiving day against UNLV last week.

Trailing 9-0, Nevada (3-0, 3-0 Mountain West) rallied behind Strong and Doubs. Strong extended a play before finding Doubs for a 42-yard score, hit Doubs again on a fourth-and-goal for a 3-yard TD and then tossed a 54-yarder to Doubs on a post pattern for a 21-9 halftime lead. Toa Taua ran for a 15-yard TD and his 60-yard run set up Brandon Talton's 36-yard field goal to lead 31-9 after three quarters. Tua finished with 107 yards on 12 carries. The Wolf Pack outgained the Aggies 542-210. Nevada is off to a 3-0 start for the first time since 2010 when they began 6-0. - AP College Football
