What a 180 degree change. Just a few weeks ago they were overloaded at WR ... lead dog self destructed, can't recall what happened to all the other guys.

You're right.

RB and LB. Looks like he will play RB for us. (He copied in Speckman.)

Edit: Next year we'll have to replace Tehran Thomas.

Big dropoff in points per game, from almost 40 points per game (2018) to 27 PPG, part of that could be 2 early tough opponents. We've also gone from from an average of .77 interceptions a game (2018), to 1.5 per game (2019). Even a couple less picks, another win.

Opponents are scoring 31 PPG in 2019, up a little from 2018 (27.4). It doesn't look like we're getting pressure on the QB, defense doing an admirable job missing 2 key LBs. They have 3 years of film on us now.

San Jose, Sac, and Cal Poly all look solid. (Cal Poly #1 WR JJ Kiosk was in our backyard, and we the Gould staff didn't recruit him.)

Have a contingent of high school coaches ever made such an impact on a college team?

Congrats young man.

Have a solid season, salvage recruiting. Give Rodriguez and others some snaps. Compete for the Big Sky title. Aggie Band-uh there would help, no doubt.

Agree. We've become predictable. Handoff for no gain, pass behind the line for no gain, then desperation and they tee off. The CC WR pass is no longer a surprise as of last year.

What happened to the TE over the middle, short dinks over the D line, going deep on 2nd and 2?

Great catch by Babb, true freshman LB Mouisett also contributed again. We had 2 tall WRs (6'6"?) we let go. Is Peacock playing due to injuries, or belief he'll bring QB heat?

And I REALLY don't understand short field kickoffs.

FWIW, Maier threw 10 picks last year in 13 games.

This year, 9 picks in 6 games.

Rushing, we averaged about 166 YPG last year, about 95 YPG this year.

Who brings the firey pep talk? We could fly in Coach Foster every week. Solid second half, another 'unintended lesson'.

Edit: another huge game for Eaton, 9 tackles. Did Venable go out? He played, has size, no tackles. Unusual for him, he's been productive. DE Cade Peacock played, his first action this year. Do we possibly have injuries on the D line we don't know about?

Stats of note.

3 Interceptions. Back breakers.
4 of 15 on 3rd down.
81 yards rushing.
8 penalties.
9 fewer TOP minutes (turnovers, 4 of 15).

The dogs were there in the 2nd half. Why?

Great 2nd half effort. But too little, too late. Can spot a good team, and drain your defensive players.

Zander, in defense, we are playing a number of young players on defense. And then we burnt them out with continual 3 and outs.

And no running game. But if we can't run, use ball control West Coast offense.

I don't understand not getting a FG kick in time, esp as I believe we still had a TO left. Call a TO.

Defense!!! No short kick!!@

They only have 1 time out!!

Yes!!!!!!!

Aggie Pride!!@

Defense has been outstanding, and we've had some O.

Please, why run on 1st and 2nd down when we've only had 1 good run?

ND announcers said Babb (way) underthrown. Babb was going semi deep. Did he throw early bc of footsteps?

Great call, maybe staff reads AST. They went like Sochor, going deep after a TO. But the ball was underthrown, Maier did take a lick. Nice route by true freshman Orlando Ornelias.

ND announcers said WRs Kraft and Harrell didn't make the trip.

Gilliam with a big run!
