    As a Wolfpack alumni I would love it.

    We had another former Wolfpack player a way back that was pretty good named Doug Betters...83 defensive player of the year.

    Good article on FA Safety Jonathan Amaya

    ``He's probably the best hitter we've had in here in a long time,'' University of Nevada assistant coach Ken Wilson said. Jonathan hit so hard for a little guy (190 at 6-2), that our equipment guys put a linebacker's neck roll on his shoulder pads because he would knock himself dingy in practice.''

    Ask Ryan Mathews. That's the Fresno State running back San Diego wanted so badly at No. 12 overall, they tossed the Dolphins a second-round pick and to swap positions in the first round and the fourth round. Mathews and Amaya came together during last season's Fresno State-Nevada game. Amaya got up for the next play. Mathews' next play was two games later, after his concussion retreated.

    ``It wasn't even a big powerful hit,'' Amaya said. ``I was coming from a long way away. It was third and 20, maybe. They were running a screen to Ryan. I caught him in the open field. We met heads up. Two bigger-sized dudes, things happen.''

    Wilson said, ``He did that a lot. It wasn't a big deal to him, but it ignited our team.''

    Score before the hit: 17-14, Nevada. Final score: 52-14, Nevada.
