WAC Leading Idaho Visits Nevada

A week after seeing Hawaii's pass-dominant offense, the Idaho defense has had to change gears quickly. Instead of the aerial attack UH presented with the run-and-shoot scheme, the Vandals will be focusing mainly on the ground game when they go up against the nation's top rushing offense in the Nevada Wolf Pack. "We're going from one extreme to the next," defensive coordinator Mark Criner said. "And my God, you couldn't have picked a worse situation or combination to have." But that's the hand Idaho has been dealt as it enters its most high-profile WAC matchup of the season on Saturday in Reno (1 p.m., KLEW)/Jesse Baumgartner, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Who will emerge victorious in this battle of two unbeaten WAC teams (Idaho 3-0, Nevada 2-0), and what will be the score?
