The Pistol offense is very innovative and schools across the country are copying it, with good reason. But with today’s high-tech offenses, programs around the nation are using a little of everything: a little of the Pistol, a little of the spread, mixed with option-reads and a strong vertical game. That is what Missouri brought Saturday.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri’s offense was so successful Saturday against Nevada that it declined a 15-yard pass interference call in favor of an 11-yard completion.

Nevada (1-2) will have a bye-week to regroup from suffering two major injuries in the offensive backfield. The Wolf Pack lost senior running back Luke Lippincott last week to a season-ending anterior crutiate ligament injury against Texas Tech.

Nevada students can’t get too spoiled, though, because before the Wolf Pack’s three-game winning streak Nevada had a four-game losing run. The Wolf Pack had a five-game winning streak before that, presenting a trend of consecutive wins in the rivalry.

Nevada didn’t play like it did Sept. 6 against Texas Tech. The Wolf Pack offense was slow and the defense couldn’t get a hand on Heisman hopeful Chase Daniel. Nevada will now go into its bye-week angry, upset and exhausted after being outplayed by a team with a much better offensive scheme. When asked what the Wolf Pack had to work on this week, coach Chris Ault said, “Pick something.” The Nevada Sagebrush has decided to do just that.

Devastated.

That was the word coach Chris Ault used to describe his feelings Saturday after losing running back Luke Lippincott for the rest of the season.
