1. Rondale Moore will have 300 total yards

Purdue’s diminutive dynamo Rondale Moore will be the best player on the field, and he will play like it. Quite literally, the Nevada Wolf Pack might not have a person on their roster that can catch him from behind. If Moore gets free, he’s going to score.

The Wolf Pack will have to deal with Moore lining up on the outside and in the slot at receiver, returning kicks and punts (if there are any). There’s no doubt in my mind that head coach Jeff Brohm and co-coordinators Brian Brohm and JaMarcus Shephard will find creative ways to use Moore in both the passing and running game.

Expect plenty of wide receiver screens and jet-sweeps for Purdue’s all-purpose star. What will make him so difficult to defend for the Wolfpack is the talent Brohm has put around him.

This season, Moore will have even better complementary pieces around him which means the Wolf Pack are going to have to pick their poison. Expect a big first game for No. 4’s sophomore campaign.
