ANOTHER 3 and out

No fight in this team. Not playing like they care about playoffs or even the rivalry.

Illegal motion on 4th and 1... C'mon this is so sad. Hard to watch man.

If we don't have any kind of response, the coaches are going to have a lot of explaining to do.

We don't even deserve to go to the playoffs. There has to be a more deserving team out there.

This is pathetic

C'mon Hastings...

Offense has to figure something out here

Go Ags! Beat the Hornets!

I guess to me it's how they use O'Hara. When the quarterback platoon becomes 1 dimensional, it becomes predictable and easier to stop. Our platoon, without HR playing, is 1 dimensional. Overwhelming chance Hastings is gonna throw or hand it off and an overwhelming chance TT is going to run. TT obviously still finds success with that because he is an excellent athlete, but it looks like the Hornets still give O'Hara plenty of chances to throw the ball. While O'Hara hasn't been as efficient as Dunniway in terms of passing, he scares me more with the unpredictability. Dunniway is a better version of Hastings, you know what his game plan is when he takes the field.

We've struggled against QBs who are mobile and who are able to extend plays in the backfield.

Not just his rushing yards but how many of his passing yards were on extended plays in the backfield? We've had trouble in bringing down the shifty QB all season. Maybe thats just what makes them shifty. If NAU's QB hadn't gotten hurt it may have been a different outcome.

I imagine that they will try to take advantage of such a glaring weakness of ours.

I'm curious how Sac will run their QB split against us. Dunniway has about twice as many pass attempts as O'Hara, but doesn't seem to be much of a runner. O'Hara, on the other hand, leads the team in rushing. With how much we struggle defensively with QB mobility it'll be interesting if we see more O'Hara or not.

Good for the Vandals. They've suffered his tenure long enough.

I really really wish I had more confidence going into this game because beating Sac is always a goal even in years where a post season isn't in play.

I feel like the general consensus is fairly accurate though.

To be totally fair, my confidence was waning way before the EWU game! I sure hope the Aggies can pull off a victory headed into the post season, but I'm not sure it will happen with how inconsistent the offense has been over the course of the season. They haven't looked straight up good in a long while and have bounced between serviceable and borderline dysfunctional. Not to mention Sac is surging at the right time. They not only have a good team, but the confidence coming into it.

Yeah high tackles for defensive backs isn't necessarily a good thing. Typically means the other team is moving the ball down field frequently. As river said, Budgett was the primary defender on at least 2 of EWU's TDs.

In what is surely a good omen for this week, Lamont Johnson-Burrell has committed to Sac State

After game 4 or so I admittedly had start to write them off already. They were sitting 2-2 with not so convincing wins over Dixie and ISU (although we all know how ISU went for us as they now sit at 1-9). They really figured it out mid season though and it's been pedal to the metal for them. I agree that we are the underdogs in this game.
