At least flip USD and Richmond on that version of the bracket, yeah? Maybe even USD and Mercer?

Great stuff @ 6:30. Love an intelligent football team. Definitely has always been a major strength of this program....nowadays, we are blessed with the physical gifts as well which makes it even more fun as a fan- as the W's are coming consistently at the D1 level.

Like I said somewhere on here earlier, lots of progress as a program since joining the Big Sky in 2012, and in a relatively short amount of time since the 2017 season.

This was a good watch. Thanks for posting.

Gotta figure out a way to close In-n-Out for a couple days. Home town advantage!

To my eye Fisher is on a different level than Perez. Gotta think its Harper as QB1 next year based on the program history of rewarding seniority and commitment to the program. Harper should have a complete grasp of the playbook and total confidence in what to do with the ball after so many years in the program. Things should be interesting though as Rasor and Pinnick both got snaps vs. UNC. Wrighster looks more physically gifted than all of them.

We digress!

Hastings run an average of 0 times a game, so to me Mellott is Michael Vick.
Watching him torch Sac State a few times last week was pretty scary. A mobile QB can really stretch the defense.

Also, I hear tickets are sold out for visiting fans.
jk haha....Aggie Stadium is a great place to watch a game...way too nice for visiting teams though.

Obviously keeping Mellott for running everywhere is an issue. But there are many other weapons to deal with. Its going to take a very prepared and disciplined defense for the Ags to win this one. Coombs (DC) has delivered every week this season- very impressive coaching job. I think at this point in the season, the Aggie defense is playing at an elite level.

I think Davis can score 40 (might be the best offense the Bobcats have faced, averaging 48 in the second half of the season), the question is whether the Ags can slow down the Bobcats and keep them under their average of 42.

Davis is much improved all-around in the second half of their season. Definitely playing their best ball on both sides.

This is going to be a helluva game and I'm looking forward to it.

Gold Davis helmets again, please!

Great stuff, Mike. Thanks!

Their fans aren't entirely wrong. Montana State has consistently been in the elite team category. UC Davis hasn't.

UC Davis in D1 is still relatively a young program....only having joined the Big Sky in 2012.

Aggies have only played 3 FCS playoff games. Bobcats have played 16 FCS playoff games during the same timespan (including a National Championship game).

lol The Mustache Club.....that's awesome.

You are right. Biggs did a great job with what he was [not] given. Looking back, resources were meager compared to recent years. I mean Russell Athletic uniforms were a real treat, to put things in perspective.
I used to get frustrated as a student/fan "going 6-5 every year" but I really didn't appreciate or realize what a fine job of coaching he did in those transitional and early D1 years.

The unique (even remarkable) thing about the Aggie football program is the continuity of culture over many years and multiple coaching staffs. This is something that Sac State is having issues with. Sporadic success, turnover, and rebuild. No identity as a program, or continuity of culture.

The usual......they really "didn't get beat, they are just the worst Griz team in recent memory and gave the game away.".......lol

I don't think there's anything to that. Also, wasn't coach Biggs very sick during some of Hawkins' time? And Biggs coached Plough, so might explain the closeness.

Unrelated.......

Sharpest road uniforms in the conference.

Get LAN out man...

I noticed that too

I'd love to see a nice score here, just for Hauck.....

Plough will probably talk about that one as one he wants back

Griz fans vanished. Hate to see it
