Coach Barkley's Take

This is a very good Nevada team. Devon Jordan is a Heisman hopeful. The senior tossed 32 scores last year to just 2 picks, so he isn't going to turn it over. But, other than TE Quinton Faulk, he doesn't have any great receiving targets.

Their O-line is good. Jordan will be well protected, and RG Mark Norman is one of the best run blockers in the nation.

Michael McNeal and Derek Anderson are good backs. They both averaged over 5 yards a carry in 2017, and they could definitely cause us problems.

Dre Smith is one of the best ends in the nation. He can rush the pass, stop the run, and he's a great athlete.

I think their biggest weak spot is their safety tandem. Matt Clark doesn't have any kind of recovery speed, and Nathan Perkins isn't great in coverage. Expect Westlake State to test them often.

Defense may have a tough opening day against what looks like a really solid Nevada offense. I think you should be able to score some points though, their secondary looks like the weak point of the team and BJ should be able to use his skills to find some open Hornets. I think it might be a closer game than what you'd expect based on the team's records from last year.

It's really just Jordan I'm super worried about with our iffy linebackers. His arm isn't great, but his decision making is perfect. He will find any holes in underneath zones.

I'm not worried about the offense this season. Henderson is a very good QB (I lucked out recruiting him, 3 star gem), Thompson is a good back, we have some solid wideouts. Line isn't great, but Henderson can escape pressure. But yeah, defensively we may struggle. We're more in line, ratings wise, with MAC teams but I decided not to go that route for the 3rd time. I figure the better conference will allow us to attract better recruits.

Thanks for checking in man, watch out for the game recap either tomorrow night or the night after that!

Thanks bro! I've honed my presentation over the course of a couple other reports I've done.

Thanks for checking in!

[Careless Whisper]

The layout is really clean, I agree with TrophyKing. I also think BJ will have a nice game, but going up against their Heisman-caliber quarterback and that Nevada attack will not be fun. Loved the breakdown of the roster and where you'll need immediate reinforcements next season. Good luck in the opener!

Looking forward to this! Good luck to Westlake, and make sure to back up your files!

Looks like you got a nice mix of solid players on the roster. Always nice to have QB locked down for the next couple of years along with a couple young WR's.

What kind of Offense playbook do you run. You probably mentioned it and I just missed it.

Also good luck with Nevada. Jordan looks like a Kaepernick clone.
