Nevada's 2008 Pass Defense

Here's one last quick look at some telling stats on the Nevada Pass Defense:

Pass Attempts Against Per Game- 38.9 (5th most in the nation)

Pass Completions Against Per Game- 20.8 (18th most in the nation)

Completion % Against- 53.56 (24th BEST in the nation)

Yards Per Completion- 14.95 (Worst in the nation)

Yards Per Attempt- 8.01 (12th worst in the nation)

Passing TDs Against- 31 (7th worst in the nation)

Passing Yards Per Game Against- 311.62 (Worst in the nation)

Plays defended per game- 67.9 (68th most in the nation)

% of plays defended that are rushing- 42.7% (2nd lowest in the nation)

% of plays defended that are passing- 57.3% (2nd highest in the nation)

Pass Eff. Defense- 134.74 (85th in the nation)

% of Attempts Picked Off- 3.16% (59th in the nation)

% of Opponents Dropbacks that ended in a sack- 6.81% (42nd in the nation)

Analysis:
They were bad.  WAC QB's weren't super accurate, but still found ways to burn the Wolfpack when they connected.  Nevada was average at getting to the QB and average at picking off the ball.

Definitively, Nevada was bad at pass defense. If ND's pass offense has improved in the off-season as much or more than their pass defense has, we should dominate through the air.

Oh wow that's terrible.

If there secondary is that bad, I have no worries about Clausen being able to find Floyd, Tate, Kamara and Rudolph as they all are pretty good route runners (especially Tate).

The only thing that worries me about this years team is the inconsistent run game.

In other words, you can beat them deep

…and beat them deep for huge gains, if you’re at all accurate. This should be a fun game to watch.
