2024 Week 8: UC Davis (6-1) @ Eastern Washington (2-4) Just got done watching the recording of the game and man... it feels good to be 7-1!
- At the start of the season I was very VERY concerned that this was going to be another shaky season from Miles, but especially since Big Sky play he has turned on the Jets... 206/303 (67.99%), 2515 yards, 20 TDs, 6 INTs. I mean, he's putting up conference player of the year kind of numbers. At this rate, at the very least he should be 1st team all Big Sky. I'm glad that he's had such a tremendous come back season.
- What else needs to be said about Lan? Currently 3rd in the conference in rushing yards, 4th in receiving yards, and 1st in points scored. He really is that guy.
- Could have gone without that muffed punt towards the end of the game. Mistakes that against MSU or potentially in the playoffs can be game losing mistakes.
- Speaking of punting... we've had too many flubs of kicks this season so I went back to the conference stats and Banks-Altekruse has the lowest average punt of the 12 punters being tracked and the only punter to have a sub 40 yard average. Now some of that may be shorter punts due to field position, but there have been plenty of just not great punts this year.
- Defense in the first half was great. EWU is going to score points so holding them to 9 at the end of the half was huge. Didn't particularly adjust well in the 2nd half, but did get just enough stops to help get the win.
GO AGS! BEAT THE BYE WEEK!
