ANALYSIS: The spread has plunged in the wake of Nevada’s lethargic win over lowly New Mexico State last week. The Wolfpack offense, with only two former starters onboard, did awaken after three worthless opening possessions, so a brighter day awaits. Though recent data don’t show it, teams with a game under their belt should benefit against opponents playing in their openers. Texas State has won just three of 18 away games under coach Jake Spavital.
