2017 has been an amazing season for Ace Journeyman. His Nevada Wolfpack are undefeated and ranked #2 in the nation, using a 42-14 thrashing of then-#3 USC to get there. Journeyman's squad is 10-0 and two wins away from a BCS Title Game...but this might seem familiar to many fans watching around the country. Nevada rose as high as #6 last season, winning their first 9 games, and many pundits had them penciled into the Rose Bowl. But they had nothing but close games all season long, and eventually that came back to bite them, as they dropped their last 2 Pac-10 games and finished 10-2, settling for the Alamo Bowl. 2017, however, is a different animal altogether. Journeyman has led the 'Pack to their ten wins in dominant fashion, with only two games decided by a touchdown or less. The blowout against USC was a statement, proving that this coach has beaten the expectations and has his upstart, former-WAC, rags-to-riches program poised to make the final leap to the highest echelon of college football. The conference title is locked up - even a loss at Washington cannot take the Rose Bowl away from Nevada - but another former-WAC darling might have something to say about Journeyman's BCS expectations. Boise State, undefeated and ranked #7 in the nation, is looking to derail the Wolfpack's dream season with their season-ending showdown in two weeks. But for now, Nevada's focused on their dogfight in Seattle, and that's how Journeyman likes it: taking the season one game at a time.2017 Schedule:
