Displays good awareness, picks up coverage assignments and has a nice move to the throw. Battles bigger opponents to defend the pass. Shows a nice break to the ball out of his plant.

Nevada 54, San Jose St. 44
Conference player of the year Deonte Burton woke up after taking an elbow to the jaw, scoring 15 of his 16 in the second half, and top-seeded overcome a horrid first half offensively for a 54-44 win over San Jose State in the Western Athletic Conference quarterfinals on Thursday night.

At the Senior Bowl this week, Johnson lined up at Mike linebacker.
A team captain and all-conference selection, Johnson recorded 100 tackles, 1 2/2 sacks, one forced fumble and one interception for the Wolfpack last season.

The Southern Miss Fans That Made The Trip To Hawaii Were Uh… Husky
So Aloha Stadium was pretty much empty for this game against the Nevada Wolfpack and the Sourthern Mississippi Eagles. That didn’t stop the crowd from having some signs that made absolutely no sense, cheerleaders, and announcers in God awful Hawaiian shirts. If anyone can figure out what the hell this sign says, please let me know. JUMP!

Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles vs Nevada Wolfpack – Sheritan Hawaii Bowl Preview
Nevada (7-5) vs Southern Miss (11-2) I'm not sure exactly what to expect from this game, except that Larry Fedora believes that Southern Miss should be playing in a BCS game (obviously). Fedora made the statement when a reporter asked him one of the dumbest questions I've heard asked of a head coach after knocking off one of the top dogs, Houston. It went something like this...

Nevada early signing period class
Rounding up the last few early signing period classes of the regional D1 programs, today is the posting of the Nevada Wolfpack. I include Nevada in this region because Northern Nevada is part of this territory for MLB scouts and there are quite a few players who go there from Northern CA.
