Zimmer: Sac State Hornets turned out to be all talk and no sting

"He [Dr. Wood] rankled the FCS community by referring to it as 'JV football' earlier this summer, and while everyone understands what he meant by that, you look pretty stupid when you call your opponents 'JV' then go out and get dog-walked by them in a game where said opponent wasn't even especially good. Wood also said earlier in a since-deleted tweet that if the Hornets played the USD Coyotes they'd hang 50 on them. Not with the offense you brought to Brookings on Saturday, big guy."

UW beats Colorado State 38 - 21, tied 14-14 at the half.

Crappy feed. It sounds like after two games:

- our O line / RB are struggling
- QB play is inconsistent, protection poor?
- Pinnick was sacked six times
- defense good

Pinnick - 21-31, 253, 3 TDs, 1 INT
Rushing - Fisher 110 yds, Perez 49 yds
Nine different WRs get a reception
True Frosh 5'10" Tyler pass-me-a-Hennessy had 3 catches for 11 yards; top SoCal player stayed home
320# OL Zaire Collier had one reception - TE work?

Connor brothers combine for 25 tackles
Grad transfers Riddick, Rutchena, Richardson, Psyk and Batson (6'5" DB?) combine for 22 tackles
Multi-year problem - no sacks for our D
Two big plays turned the tide

Plough year 2 looks to be a lot different. Honeymoon is over.

How soon until the rent-a-team varsity starts seeing defections?

6 PM PST kickoff time?

Plentiful bulletin board material there.

Yup! Go Teddy. Two tackles and a .5 sack last week.

It looks like Keelan Doss has ended his NFL dream after six years, and is looking to enter acting and real estate.

Is your band story serious?

Great news. Nimble QBs w strong arms.

Does our young QB have decent arm strength?? Is he a Plough recruit, or Cody Hawkins?

We may have something in Tahoe.

Have we ever had a game cancelled like this?

1:20 = "finding JOY in the journey"... Humm, sounds familiar.

Idaho State gives UNLV a scare. ISU throws 3 picks, 10 penalties, both correctable. Team Hawkins appears on track.

If the game ends, do we bag the Win?

Last year was great, but Hawk left Plough a QB and NFL RB. This is a different deal.

Scott Marsh seems to have a history of huge predictions. Without taking one snap, he believes our redshirt freshman QB will go down as one of our best QBs in program history. We'll see.

Mercer spring game, short. They don't look like NDSU.

Yes.

The threat alone. The 5 yard or 7 yard out of bounds rush, untouched, is perfect and often moves the chains.
