They could have easily scored 75 off Cal Poly but they were humane.

At times I wonder if there's much difference between NDSU and Bama :joke:

You're probably right but the Mustangs have actually won score-fests in the past. It basically requires them to score on pretty much every possession.

CP has proven that at times TOP means little.

Be careful what you wish for.........

That will require Cal Poly to fumble the ball right into your defenders hands taking it the distance. We didn't block well in that game, but we made up for it by not tackling.

There should definitely be tickets available right up until game time. The team has only been drawing around 7,000 and capacity at Spanos is around 12,000

I think we are finally starting to figure things out on offense, it's the defense that worries me. We have a couple of redshirt freshmen and a true freshman starting on our defensive line and we aren't tackling particularly well. I agree that Weber's defensive front seven is stout and I was less than impressed with their offense, especially quarterback play.

The past couple of games the Mustangs have been having some success running on the perimeter. Two of Cal Poly's four losses were winnable games, IMO. In both the Weber State and Montana games the Mustangs screwed the pooch preventing victory. CP was totally over matched against NDSU and EWU.

Good point regarding big plays Dr Mike. Word on the street is that opposing coaches are trying to limit Cal Poly's big plays, figuring at 3 or 4 yards a carry the Mustangs will make enough mistakes to beat themselves.

True student athletes on both sidelines this week, for sure.....

One thing to consider is the teams Cal Poly has lost to are quality opponents, similar to UCD losses.

I'm looking forward to a very good game this Saturday. I think the key for Cal Poly is to not fall way behind early like they did last year. Overcoming big deficits is not a good triple option strategy,. CP does rely heavily on the fullback dive, but the past couple of weeks De La Salle alum Drew Hernandez has been lighting it up as the pitch guy. Our young defense will be tested severely by Maier and Doss. Davis is a really good football team, but this is a rivalry and you know the best team doesn't always win a rivalry game. I would wish you luck, but you know I'd be lying. :wink: How's this, good luck the following week against Montana?

I was a pretty decent high school nose tackle, but nowhere near the caliber we are talking about. I bring this up because I was not talented enough to tackle with the current set of rules. I figured as long as I wasn't grabbing a face mask anything else was fair game! :D

and to think just two years ago at Davis we converted two fourth down attempts on a 7 minute touchdown drive. The first attempt was fourth and a full yard from or own ten yard line! That was the first Cal Poly football game I ever attended.

As a Mustang fan, I fear the Aggie passing game more than anything else. To me that will boil down to can the Mustangs pressure the Aggie QB?

You're damn straight Dr. Mike, I wasn't sitting comfortably in my seat in Spanos until Kyle Lewis scored on that 80 yard pitch play late in the fourth quarter to ice the game.
