BOISE, Idaho -- Nevada coach Chris Ault said earlier this week that he fully expects Boise State to game plan for quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his ability to break out of the pocket and run for big yardage.
Last year, the Broncos spied Kaepernick and limited him to 70 rushing yards. While “limited” might seem like an odd word, Kaepernick did rush for more than 1,000 yards last year.
Expect a similar game plan tonight. The Broncos are going to dare Kaepernick to throw, which hasn’t exactly been Nevada’s forte this season (though Kaepernick did have 241 passing yards last year). The Wolf Pack are averaging 161 yards in the air. But in all fairness, the running game has been so good that they haven’t needed to pass too often.
Kaepernick has passed for more than 200 yards just twice this season and hasn’t passed for more than 100 in either of the past two games. So it will be interesting to see how Nevada incorporates the passing game into its powerful rushing attack.
