Key play was Q1, 4th & Goal at the 1. We also called a TO after our 3rd offensive play on a 1st and 10.

I believe in honesty. We didn't drop 74 points on Lehigh, or beat them by 49.

FWIW, I did a quickie statistical comparison of this offensive numbers year vs 2019 (5-7 team), including backing out the blowout numbers from the depleted SLO team.

2021* ::::::::::::::: 2019

PPG 23.25 /// 28.67 (- 19%)
R/APC 4.2 /// 4.2
R/APG 185 /// 123.8 (+ 50%)

P/YPG 191 /// 309 (-38%)
A/YPG 376 /// 433 (-13%)

* minus UCD-SLO game.

We were 3-2, but easily could have been 2-3, with one win coming over the depleted SLO. Two wins over mid tier teams. We don't face the Montana's next year, and the Big Sky appears to have great parity.

Regarding specific players, we don't know who is injured or might have had academic bumps in the road. Regarding our QB controversy, both HR and Hastings completed about 67% of their passes, Tompkins 50% (5 of 10), and Gunnor Faulk 100%.

Davis Enterprise: "Hawkins may have been unhappy with the result of the penalty, but he defended the call afterward.

“It was close, but I get it. We’re trying to make the game safer,” he said. “If it’s the rule, you enforce it. If it’s close, call it. I’m in agreement with the call.”

Should we schedule a replacement game for Cal Poly and see what TT and Hastings can do?

Some good points. Erron Duncan and Suani would help on D. Our yearly stats are morphed bc of the ridiculous blowout of Cal Poly. It still seems we don't pressure the QB enough. Frosh Jacob Horne and RedFrosh Sean Harlston - both 6'3" DBs - might add some needed length.

Some bigtime young offensive weapons, but I didn't find our play calling creative - not today, not a previous 9 rushing plays in a row or running 80% on first down. Where was the bang-bang no huddle? Why not roll out HR more, and few shots downfield. The fly sweep worked. Will TE stud Castles return? TT taking a shot w such limited reps shows the risk of a TT-type runner.

Today's QB a nightmare. We have to handle Weber, EWU, Montana and Montana State to compete nationally.

FWIW, a bio I read said TT wants to be a coach, so he should be a student of the game.

We have some good young players, but the Montana's are beasts. Our offense sucked in the first half, gassing our D. Don't understand the play calling, or not going for a FG late and assessing if TT arm is OK.

No Harrell?

Why was HR benched?

Agreed. Why not a rollout or 20-yard sideline pass? These 5 yard runs up the gut chew up time.

So was the move to TT to change pace for the offense?

I don't understand our conservative Ron Gould like play calling. Where are the rollouts? Not a trick play this season?

Technically, they can't have a scholarship taken, right, if they are making grades? Schollie can be honored but removed from the team. But I'm told some coaches have numerous ways to change a roster.

An option QB probably doesn't fit in the new system. And Hamler has also been involved in some very controversial public events in SLO, including a protest where rocks and bottles were thrown at police, a freeway shut down, and alleged requests for donations to BLM groups.

I wonder what approved attendance will be on April 24th in Yolo County?

Same for newbie coordinators.

Is Hawk saving some fireworks for EWU?

What does Mr. Dunning of the Enterprise think about Knight U?

I agree, quitting sits poorly. Anything could happen next year.

OK. Given Hawk's competitive nature, I think passing up a sweet 16 playoff spot is tough. To slug through the Montanas, Weber, EWU, & tough preseason games next year?
