Actually Babb could be a very dangerous receiver who will draw double coverage soon. He is explosive after the catch.

It looks like a forward lateral after the first guy catches it and plays it back to his defensive guy.

Tackling is non existent by the dbsm

aI also noticed tackling efforts were poor several times during the game.

A thing I see is when receivers drop passes, it usually means they hear footsteps, and are expecting a hard hit. These two things affect the receivers thought process instead on concentrating on catching the ball, but are getting ready to either run or take a hit. Eihter way, you have to give some of the credit to the defense.

I think playing in the dome works more in the Aggies favor. A wet windy field would be a huge advantage for the Bison

Here's another wrench we could throw at NDSU. Being in a dome makes Maier much more accurate (not having to deal with wind), and could thus make THEO GOODWIN a much more dangerous receiver against NDSU. He runs a sub 4.4 40. A play here and there would probably require a double team to prevent a home run ball. If they don't double team, I would definitely throw it long and let him run to the ball. Better an overthrown than under thrown ball. A couple of these beating the DB whether it's caught or not will force NDSU to cover him well.

Take advantage of the early stops and score yes. This is a continuation from my earlier post. It wouldn't let me edit.

I too believe we need to stop their run game. I think it is possible we could do this before they make adjustments. If so, we need to tabke

I am beginning to think they are of the opinion they have the better offense, and the better defense to stop our offense. So, why should we play the game. I'll tell you why? We have beaten them in the past as they have us. And in the 6 recent games they were all close. But, I think they should post on another forum, and definitely not on a forum that says Any Given Saturday. This could be THAT Saturday that bites them in the *** Sure I think the Aggies are to be underdogs in this game, but a minor error or couple of inches here or there could make a huge difference in the outcome. I believe we are faster than the Bison, and they are bigger. So, we will have to use our speed to offset the difference. That means make the big guys run sprints. That will slow down the defensive line as the game progresses. And, make the DBs cheat up to stop the quick outs. That would give the Maier a good opportunity to throw the ball downfield. And, to use the draw play to get Tehran and Ulondo the opportunity to take advantage of the defensive linemen's weariness.

Local sub shop? That would be Kathy's Corner

Yes, I remember them Lehigh cheers doling push ups in the endzone after TDs on OUR grass. It's time to bust them a good one and no mercy.

As long as you win you should not drop in the poles. If we were to lose by 1 point to NDSU would they drop? Would we drop or go up? The answer is yes we would drop, and not go up even though it was NDSU. You need to defeat the teams you play. If you do that, you will be number 1 regardless of how close the scores were.

Chris took it to Best's team. Aggies have long memories.

Last Aggie that I remember getting cut by them is in the Hall of Fame, I believe, Rolfe Bernirske

I don't recall any playoff games free for UC Students. This because the playoffs were NCAA games and not supported by the conference. I remember paying to get in D2 Playoff games, but at a discount.

Sorry for your loss. He passed at a way too young age. Sounds like a great dad, and a great mentor for all he touched. My prayers to you and your family.

I actually thought I read someplace that a redshirt could play in 4 games and not lose a year elgibility as well.

Most likely after the 3rd or 4th preseason game

The one thing about Keelan is his desire. With all he has been through, just made him more likely to prove the doubters wrong! Keelan reminds me of someone else I know. Tell him he isn't good enough, and he'll prove you wrong EVERY time. That is Keelan too! I remember his first few games, where some of the receivers were dropping balls that should have been caught, and every ball thrown Keelan's way was caught. Keelan made everyone better with his leadership and desire to excel.
Keelan, you go! And, best of luck in your NFL career where you will prove all the doubters wrong again!!!!
