  1. 1. Does Nevada Lose To SJSU Had Malik Not Played?



Recommended Posts

Curious to see what Nevada fans think. I’d have to say absolutely yes. The all around passing threat was there, and having such a legit and accurate long ball, all of it had to be respected. That pushed defenders further back from the line allowing the running game to work better. And we did run enough so that sometimes the play action would catch some guys cheating closer to the line again, and they’d get burned. 

Too bad Mannix had to leave. Having Doubs and him doing deep ball routes at the same time would’ve been sweet.

What do you guys think?

It was interesting to read Murray’s take on the situation with Malik not going 100% on his studies and film review until last week when he was named the starter. But he has been helping the other QB’s in practice and doing well there. 

If he had arrived and done everything Norvell wanted him to to earn a start, he would’ve been the starter all along. And it’s obvious that he hadn’t done enough to be the starter last week, but the coaching staff knows they’re at a fork in the road where the season could slide into poop, or bounce back and become bowl eligible winning 6 to 8 games. And that means the HC career of Norvell was at a crossroad as well. 

But fortunately, when Malik was named the starter, he stepped up and took everything very seriously. It’ll be tough at USU, but at least we have some weapons now to score quick and more often.

For those that didn't see the game, there was a play where he was a little off balance with feet not set at all and he saw a WR open and just flicked his wrist in that direction and the ball went 27 yards in the air, and hit the WR. That shows how strong he is. 

It's at 5:40:
