Nevada football heads into their final home game against Air Force with a potential boost in player availability after a bye week allowed for extra recovery time for injured players. Linebacker Tongiaki Mateialona, defensive end Kaden Johnson, running back Savion Red, and Marcus Bellon are among those who could return to the field. Head coach Jeff Choate is hopeful for their return, particularly highlighting the importance of Red, who has been the team’s leading rusher.
Despite some players being ruled out for the season with injuries, the Wolf Pack could benefit from the return of key players who have been sidelined in recent weeks. The team’s offensive approach and defense strategy will be crucial in facing Air Force’s triple-option offense. Coaches are emphasizing the need to adjust quickly to the fast-paced style of play that Air Force executes.
Choate also addressed recent felony drug arrests involving two players, expressing disappointment and emphasizing the importance of character education within the program. The team is focused on preparing for the challenging match-up against Air Force and making the most out of the remaining games of the season. With a tough opponent ahead, Nevada will need to be at their best to secure a victory in their final home game.
