#17 Texas A&M vs. Nevada: Key matchups

A&M T Avery Gennesy vs. Nevada DE Ian Seau: The Aggies' passing game should have a big advantage against Nevada’s struggling pass defense. Thus, the Wolf Pack needs Seau, the nephew of late Pro Football Hall of Famer Junior Seau, to pressure Kyle Allen. Seau had 8.5 sacks in 2014. Gennesy has drawn raves for his performance in two games; it’s his responsibility to keep Seau at bay.

A&M’s receivers vs. Nevada's secondary: You’ve got to capitalize on an advantage when you have one. The Aggies certainly have one with their receivers. Christian Kirk and Josh Reynolds are explosive and Ricky Seals-Jones is a coverage mismatch.
