Adam

Stephen Tsai profiles inside linebacker Adam Leonard.
"It's just school and football," he said. "I can't remember the last time I went out and watched a movie. It's just being disciplined. I want to do well in school because I know, with football, it would be easy to put that part on the side. And I want to be committed to football. You know how medical or law students make sacrifices? Football is my job right now. If I want to do well, I have to make sacrifices."
Good to have a guy with such talent and dedication on this team. And not just him -- a lot of Warriors are studying and working hard to be better for the school and the team.

Dave Reardon examines Nevada's "pistol" offense.
The subtle differences in angles and timing caused by the unique alignment creates problems for a defense, Jones said.

"It does make a difference. They do good misdirection stuff. The pass protection is unique and different. They're a little different," Jones said. "The play-action passes, all kinds of different things."

Nevada quarterback Jeff Rowe runs the balanced attack (162.2 yards rushing per game/178.2 passing) proficiently. Kamehameha graduate Caleb Spencer is the top receiver with 25 catches for 248 yards.
Speaking of Kam grad Caleb Spencer, The Nevada Appeal profiles him and his frustration in not catching enough passes this season.
"It's like my mom said, you can only control what you can control," Spencer said. "It was a tough win. I was really happy we won and my wife was excited, but it was frustrating personally because I had no catches."

Spencer is a proud young man. No doubt he felt that he didn't contribute, or get a chance to contribute. That in itself is frustrating when you are used to being the leading receiver all the time like Spencer has been the last couple of years.
Well, for his peace of mind, let's hope he can catch some passes against UH. It will be some solace after the Warriors gigantic win. GO WARRIORS!!!!
