Nevada is a team that might challenge Boise State because of running back Vai Taua who stepped in for the injured Luke Lippincott to lead the WAC with 1,521 rushing yards in 2008. 

Lippincott, led the WAC in rushing in 2007 with 1,420 yards. Lippincott then received a sixth season of eligibility after missing all but two games with a knee injury last season.

Another reason why Nevada has a shot at rising to the top of the WAC is that they are the only team to return two players on defense with double digit sacks with Dontay Moch and Kevin Basped.

Also, do not forget that the Wolfpack return quarterback Colin Kaepernick who was the 2008 WAC first team all-conference quarterback, and just check below the returning offensive stats.
