Nevada's leading rusher, Mike Ball, sat against UNLV due to a sprained ankle, but he is expected to start this week against New Mexico.

It was a frustrating development last week when Ball, who was expected to play, sat a juicy matchup. Ball should jump right back into his lead role and is a great start against a New Mexico defense that is giving up 228 rushing yards per game.
