(2-1) Nevada 7 - (3-0) California 38
RENO - The Golden Bears would make the short trip past Lake Tahoe to visit Nevada for their first away game of the season. Much like UC Davis, the Bears were favored to win this game. The biggest concern going in would be Nevada's high powered offense driven by dual-threat QB Colin Kaepernick and 1000 yard rushers Vai Taua and Luke Lippincott.
"Keapernick will be a concern," said Coach London. "He threw for over 2000 and rushed for over 1000, can't take that lightly. We are an inexperienced defense, so we need to stay as disciplined as possible."
Nevada didn't have much to offer on either side of the ball today. They had absolutely no answer for the Cal running game and let HB Shane Vereen stomp all over them. QB Kevin Riley looked better but threw a INT for the third game in a row, not a good sign for the Pac-10 schedule.
Cal's defense was well prepared for the Kaepernick-Taua attack and halted Nevada on all but one drive, their only score of the game. Nevada couldn't do much through the air, so Coach London's defense was comfortable giving them the run, but even that didn't net much. In the end Cal won comfortably.
