9-3 or 10-2 sounds better, but EWU first, then a perfectly timed bye.

He at least needs a few touches. FTR last year he had what, 85 yards vs Montana?

Amateur here, but he seems to hit the hole quick. RB Guru Coach Gould used to say, "It's not speed to the hole, it's speed through the hole." He may also have the speed to get around the corner - which we need. My gut also says he might light up a screen pass.

We may be the only team which only plays 2 RBs (TT more a WR / gadget guy).

(I was also clamoring to get the ignored super decoy Dobbins the ball. Why burn a year of eligibility to be a decoy?)

What seed is required to get a bye first round?

Nine receivers caught passes, even Alessi had 2 grabs. TT has his knee brace off, perfect timing.

We needed this. Congrats to the team, great to see the offense roll in Q1 and the playbook open up.

My amateur opinion is that we need Dobbins and Fisher in the mix every week.

EWU - Sac State 14-14
Weber State 17-14"over N CO in Q3, 0-6 N CO giving them a battle.

Did you see Rex Connors move on the return?

500 yards passing, everybody on the receiving crew joining the party. Great to see.

I'd like to see Robbie Mascheroni WR.

Tell me Perez is substantially better than Fisher. He needs carries.

EWU / Suck 7-7 Q1

PSU 42-38 over Idaho State

Fantastic game for Miles Hastings, 27 / 30, 458 yds, 4 TDs.

Was Dobbins underthrown on his 41yd reception? Seems he has the speed to outrun many DBs. Great to see a breakout game for him.

I missed the start, how did we score so quickly?

LL hurdle replay.

Don't forget we're beating a program that's been down for years and out their top QB. I sure hope we get the 2s and 3s some work, Razor, Fischer, and our young WRs. This game and No Colorado likely the best opportunities.

So glad to see a good mixture of plays, and Dobbins and Perez contributing. Dobbins had 4 catches at Cal, and then 4 of 5 games nothing. That one grab today showed his speed and athleticism to go up and change his body.

They saw something. Watts looks good.

UCD site has him w 2 catches.

Schaumburger leading the defense w 4 tackles.

No catch by Chaz Davis recorded, FYI.
