Nevada vs Incarnate Word Game Preview

Why Incarnate Word Will Win

The show goes on.

The Cardinals lost star QB Cameron Ward to Washington State, but Lindsey Scott Jr. stepped right in to start the season and the offense ripped Southern Illinois to shreds in a 64-29 win.

The team was hot right away – getting up 22-0 in the first quarter – Scott ended up with six touchdown passes, and Nevada’s defense needs to be ready to handle it all.

The Wolf Pack might be 2-0, but they’re struggling offensively – beating New Mexico State and Texas State is no big deal – and it has yet to prove it can keep up a pace with a good attack.

But …

Why Nevada Will Win

The Nevada defense has been fantastic so far.

It held down the Aggies, and then totally stuffed the Bobcats by getting into the backfield over and over again – Texas State finished with -12 net rushing yards.

No, the passing game might not be doing anything amazing, but it’s not making a slew of big mistakes and it kept things moving last week. The ground attack is only averaging 3.5 yards per carry, but it’s grinding it out.

Why is Nevada 2-0, though?

What’s Going To Happen

Takeaways. Nevada is a ridiculous +9 in turnover margin in the first two weeks under new head coach Ken Wilson, and it needs to force Incarnate Word mistakes.

The Cardinals might have been great offensively against Southern Illinois, but the 12 penalties were a problem, and now they have to deal with a nasty offensive front that should take over as the game goes on.

The Wolf Pack will win, but it’s going to be a 60-minute fight to get there.

Charleston Southern men, Coastal Carolina women crowned champions at Golfweek/Any Given Tuesday Collegiate

The True Blue Golf Course in Myrtle Beach hosted the Golfweek/Any Given Tuesday Collegiate.

The Golfweek/Any Given Tuesday Collegiate featuring men’s and women’s teams from across the country was held at True Blue Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Ten men’s teams and 17 women’s teams teed it up as they all prepare for the final stretch of the regular season and postseason play.

This was the first time Golfweek and Any Given Tuesday have teamed up but event was about much more than golf. Any Given Tuesday has spearheaded fundraising efforts for the families of those lost and injured in the tragic University of the Southwest vehicle crash. Any Given Tuesday has helped raise funds, one birdie at a time, with many teams, coaches and players pledging $1 for each circle on their card.

One player who helped that effort greatly was Marshall’s Tyler Jones. The junior broke the school’s scoring record of 63 that was set in 1958 by Linden Meade. Jones posted a 10-under 62 in Wednesday’s final round, catapulting him from T-6 and six back of the lead, to co-medalist honors.

“He was 4 under through six and I could just see that he had ‘it’,” Marshall head coach Matt Grobe told Golfweek. “You could tell he was kind of in a zone, so as a coach, you try to stay out of his way.”

Earning co-medalist honors was Gardner-Webb’s Zack Byers. The senior out of Shelby, North Carolina, held a three-shot lead over the field heading into Wednesday’s final round. A pair of 3-under 69s gave Byers a small cushion to build upon.

Byers, who shot a 5-under 67, appeared to have a solo win in the bag but a bogey on the par-4 12th, his final hole, slid him into a tie for first alongside Jones.

Claiming the men’s team title was Charleston Southern. The Buccaneers saved their best for last, posting a tournament-best 7-under 281.

On the women’s side, it was another individual title was split.

Incarnate Word’s Ellen Nicholas and Coastal Carolina’s Tiffany Arafi shared the individual title with matching 4-under 212s.

For Arafi, the individual title aided in securing the Chanticleers the team championship and weighed down the team bus down just a bit more on their ride back to Conway, South Carolina.

“I hope it was what they needed to get confident, turn the corner, and finish strong,” Chanticleer head coach Katie Quinney told Golfweek.

Staving off a run from the Cardinals, Coastal Carolina was able to stop the bleeding at 10 over in the final round to hang on for a four stroke win over Incarnate Word.

With most teams facing just one or two regular season events left, everyone is making their final push to play their best golf come April and May. Golfweek amateur events pick back up this summer starting with the Golfweek Myrtle Beach Amateur at Prestwick Country Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina June 14-16.

Does Oregon now have to worry about a Cameron Ward-led Washington State team?

Washington State’s new QB Cameron Ward will be thrilling to watch. Will he be enough to threaten Oregon’s supremacy in the Pac-12 North?

When you look at the traditional powers in the Pac-12, and specifically in the Pac-12 North division, the Washington State Cougars are not often a team that comes to mind. Though they have had some solid seasons over the past decade — an 11-2 season and pair of 9-4 finishes under Mike Leach since 2015 — there aren’t many people who are routinely picking them to make it to the Pac-12 title game.

Is this the year that it changes, though?

I ask that question because of the shift at the quarterback position for the Cougars. While former Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Jayden de Laura was a nice piece up in Pulloose, Washington State has brought in a transfer at the position this year that has a chance to make waves in the Pac-12. His name is Cameron Ward, and he promises to be among the most exciting players to watch in 2022.

[lawrence-related id=20772]

Ward comes from Incarnate Word, an FCS school in San Antonio, Texas. They don’t have a long history of winning championships, but Ward certainly created a nice profile for himself in his two years with the team, throwing for just under 7,000 yards and 71 touchdowns. His 2021 season really put him on the map and made him a coveted transfer prospect after putting up 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.

After de Laura transferred to the Arizona Wildcats, the Cougars brought in Ward, and he now stands to “shock the college football world” according to Bleacher Report. 

Maybe the most exciting, intriguing player to watch for the 2022 season is Washington State transfer quarterback Cameron Ward.

The Texas native starred for two seasons at FCS Incarnate Word, where he showed a strong arm and massive talent. At 6’3″, 220 pounds, Ward is a big-time athlete who looks like he has the potential to become a great quarterback, even if he’s raw.

He followed Eric Morris to Pullman after the former Incarnate Word head coach left to become a Power Five offensive coordinator. Ward chose the Cougars over an odd group of schools including Ole Miss, Prairie View A&M and Houston.

As a freshman in 2020, Ward threw for 2,260 yards, 24 touchdowns and four interceptions, and he followed it up with a massive ’21 season in which he completed 61 percent of his passes for 4,648 yards, 47 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

With Pac-12 Freshman of the Year Jayden de Laura off to Arizona, the Cougs are Ward’s team, and he and Morris will combine to lead the “Coug Raid” attack. Look for big numbers to follow.

You can look at Washington State’s range of finishes in the Pac-12 North over the past 5 years and understandably not be threatened, but remember that they managed to place second last season in 2021, and threatened to make it to the Pac-12 championship game had Oregon dropped their final game of the season. The truth of the matter is that the Cougars have their program going in the right direction, and should they be able to find a gem at the quarterback position, it could push them over the top into conference contention.

Will Cameron Ward be that gem? It’s certainly not out of the question and will be pretty entertaining to watch.
