Sure, not all of the polls have the most realistic outlook on what the actual top 10 or top 25 will be, but I personally find it fun looking at where the different models have the Aggies. I never said that I took that particular poll seriously, although I think we will find most of the polls (this one included) are zeroing in on us in the 8-10 range

Davis stays at 8 in the versus poll

I couldn't tell you in terms of Josh Davis. I'm sure that they've had some offensive line turnover in the amount of time that he's been there. So far this season, he has the lowest yards per rush average of his career... 2021 - 4.3, Spring season - 5.8, 2019 - 6.2, 2018 - 5.4.

Frankly, so far this season and in the shortened season Dontae McMillan has been their better back. More yards per rush, comparable yards on less carries, more touchdowns. The only thing is Davis provides more in the receiving game. Definitely doesn't look like the same freshman phenom that I remember him being though.

Wow that is some laughable reporting. I agree that the roughing the passer call was soft to say the least, but HR had clearly already released the ball and as you said the defender extended his arm into his chest when contact was completely avoidable. But saying that Hutton fell down on his own? C'mon... that is objectively not true.

Eastern's elite offense versus Montana's elite defense. Should be a very interesting game.

Yeah I noticed that and thought it was strange. He almost single handedly won that game against Eastern for the Vandals.

I think the main thing was they were worried about Shaheed getting behind the cornerbacks. Adds a secondary level of protection against the deep ball to a very fast receiver. Like you said, this leads to a bend don't break philosophy as you give more room for the intermediate passes.

My final thoughts

- HR had something going on even before he was pulled from the game. His passing looked off against Dixie State and regressed even further today.

- We didn't utilize TT enough in the offense today. Good things happen pretty much every time he touches the ball. He ran in the winning touchdown, but when the offense was stagnant all game get him some more touches and see what happens.

- Offensive line had a good day against a really good defense. We really did a good job of limiting the amount of pressure the QBs got.

- Defense did everything they could to keep us in that game especially considering how long they were on the field especially in the first half. Turnovers are the name of the game and they seem to be coming in bundles for blue force.

- I want nothing more than for the kid to succeed... but as of right now Gomez's kicking concerns me a little bit. I hope he can get another game in like Tulsa to build the confidence.

- Agreed with 88 on the play calling. Just very weird and sometimes going the insanity route of trying the same thing over and over and over again despite it not working, but thinking... it might just be different THIS time. Not sure if that falls completely on Cody or if Dan takes some responsibility too.

- I usually am frustrated with Dan's time management, but that final drive was handled masterfully. Burned almost 5 whole minutes and 3 of those were in the red zone. We benefitted from Weber burning 2 time outs in the 3rd quarter.

- Shaheed is a dangerous returner, but I would have rather seen us boot the last kick out of the back of the end zone than give it to them on the 40. They only needed a FG to tie and giving them a massive field position advantage to get in that range seems silly when they had no time outs.

- All in all, I will take the win. I hope the team gets healthy and is ready to go versus a rested Idaho team that is hungry for their first win of the season.

sorry! Not trying to spoil anything!

I was typing out the plays after it happened on ESPN+?

Weber calling 2 time outs in the 3rd quarter may have bitten them in the ass
