The PR staff really spinning this one.

USA Today: "During a 40-7 loss at Montana State over the weekend, Max McCaffrey apparently became so enraged about his team’s play (and specifically that of his other brother, QB Dylan) that he broke a clipboard. Then, a [high school] fan yelled at him, “Hey coach, maybe you should focus on how small your pants are, rather than breaking a clipboard.”

"And then, according to what the apparent intended target told the Greeley Tribune, Max tried to hit the fan with the clipboard. But it was that kind of day for the Bears, and he missed his spot, hitting an older fan several seats away."

Three or four hand offs to UG don't produce uptempo, which I would think works to our advantage. How about UG, quick slant, screen, TT insert (use him, or not), jet sweep, dink over the middle ... or go deep.

Second and 2? Go deep. Keep them honest.

I'd like to see TT pass more, he threw for a gazillion yards in HS. He apparently said something to Dunning like, "I can do more than run. I can play QB."

We played some Very up tempo Offense at times w JM, typically to start the game - SJ State, San Diego State. Not sure why we lost that, no KD, opposition has our film, ??

I watched part of it last night on replay, and only the extra point tipped them off that they had missed the touchdown. Clear skies.

Never comprehended going to college in the middle of the hood. An ex GF went to school there and would hire local kids for $10 or $20 to watch their cars while they unloaded groceries, clothes shopping, etc. Another small business owner hired herself out to "Dad" to help his daughter get into a top sorority and buy clothes for rush... $10,000 in 1990... and that was just the first installment.

Can I fast forward on ESPN+ to the 4th Quarter? (Replay of Idaho game.)

Police: Cellphone (hands-free) at play for driver in San Ramon crash that killed NFL's Knapp

" "... The primary collision factor was a violation of 21658(a) CVC (unsafe lane change). An associated factor was listed as inattention. This inattention factor was attributed to the driver using a hands free cellular phone -- glancing at his phone, which wasn't in his hands," Williams said via email.

"Williams also clarified that San Ramon police did not issue a traffic citation to the driver because the case was referred to county prosecutors for consideration.

"A DA's office spokesperson last week declined to answer follow-up questions about the reasoning for the no-charges decision.

"That included requests for further clarification about why the traffic violation of an unsafe lane change was not enough of a legal violation to support a manslaughter charge, as well as whether the cellphone use being hands-free -- as opposed to held-in-hand -- played a role in their decision."

Good point on WRs. My amateur guess is that when we play Berkeley, Tulsa, Weber, we keep a TE or two home, and have less QB time for the Deep pattern to develop. Which would also limit blockers if we dumped it off to UG.

I believe Harrell and Crawford have speed, and HR threw some semi deep balls vs San Diego (appeared deeper than JM).

Maier has gone from long shot to solid commodity.

No highlight clip of TT zigzagging back n forth on that one run?

(I went to the kitchen to make a quick bite, and we had marched down the entire field.)

I hadn't heard him in a while, he's lost a half step. Writers can acclimate.

What's tougher is he has an autistic son he was taking care of (or taking care of each other). An immediate relative was also given the diagnosis, zero at-home treatment.

Unfathomable that the #1 industrialized nation in the world sends people home w a Covid diagnosis - and no treatment! Do they want people to die? Another failure. ... the number 1 indicator of death... hospital admission.

Like our State - we had 8, 10 months to prepare administering the vaccine - and then we had only administered 30 - 35% of vaccine on hand?! Fancy degrees, fancy computers... but beyond poor leadership.

Not elite behavior, but it's a new iPhone generation.

The lack of attention on the touchdown, spot, etc, was baffling. Maybe he was distracted w Dunning, big error.

Internet burying traditional media, newspaper ads gone, no revenue to pay writers.

They pushed out Swanson for this new PA guy? Swanson had excitement.

Is Marsh busy in Sac? Maybe technical difficulties distracted him.

Did they give your wife or yourself any treatment?

I hope you're both well. A family friend just passed partly due to it, it likely pushed him over the edge... diabetic, obese, several other conditions, likely also depression, confined, and never sought treatment.

“Virus surge hits New England despite high vaccination rates”
– Associated Press, October 3, 2021

Wild guess. Is this some pre-EWU move to establish a permanent stopgap against big plays?

Does any other team do this?

We couldn't stop 5'8" Cummings or their 3-headed beast QB system. TT needs more PT, why not split TT & HR?

I think our play calling is still sometimes odd, like 3 midrange difficult passes in a row, or repetitively throwing the little dump off to Gilliam. Some options possibly limited if we were using TEs to help protect our QB tonight bc of their line.
