That's always a bonus. Our Offensive line jelling is so key. If we can move the ball two ways, and slow down their RBs.

What an exciting game and challenge. Biggest home game in the DI era? A victory Saturday sets us up to go deep into winter.

I took a peak at Toyota Stadium in Call it Frisco, Texas. Seats about 20K, soccer-specific stadium surrounded by 16-18 soccer fields. Concert stage in one end zone. Last month the city approved a $182 million upgrade and expansion which will add 4-5,000 seats, a roof structure, and various amenities.

Do we want to slow it down and go heavy ground, keeping their backs off the field? Pound LL, Perez, and Fisher and keep our D rested?

Grays?

If we're a top 4 seed, is it possible we get a bye and two home games?

So we could have a bye and 4 playoff games.

Simpson has apparently used 3-4 numbers.

SFO to Dallas Airport, $270 RT. Direct flight. Just sayin.

I saw SLO play at Cal last week. They're competitive, new coach, they battle.

Is Jac Mani the big man Les is high on?

Maybe our defense having practiced against LL and Fisher will be a little more prepared than a typical defense. We can hope.

Congratulations to our offensive line, which has apparently made huge strides - like handling Montana.

How did we improve?

One of Ploughs recent pregame pep talks, he told the players he went out at night, burned the boats, and the only way home was to take the victory.

It will be tough to burn boats at Putah Creek.

At the NCAA March Madness in Sacramento years ago, they had long poles with microphones on the end they pointed into the press pool.

Others pass around a mic or two.

Perez and Fisher would be a good base at RB, and we're deep at TE. Our #2 QB looks highly.mobile.

Competition across the board for playing time.

Isn't it possible some of the blocked out sections on the east side are for UCD students?

What do the new premium seats look like? Concession lines any better?

FTR, Jordan Fisher tallied 7 carries, 32 yards, for a team-leading 4.6 YPC. His 11-yard run was sweet. He actually had the highest YPC on the team - LL and Perez close behind (4.0).

Playing in that atmosphere is good preparation for the coming playoffs.

It looks like we got some PTP back on defense. Who are they?

Rex Connors?
Cloyd Jackson?

Moroski & Reno at the Toom w Ara Parseghian?

If we beat MSU and Sac State, isn't it possible we host 2 or 3 home playoff games?

A BYE, and home field advantage are huge.
