Mentioned that the band was off to my brother. Group looked small, songs were very slow, poor marching during the half time show, and using sheet music on the field. Cardinal sins for the Cal Aggie Marching Band-uh! but apparently not for the UC Davis Marching Band est. 2019 (according to the bass drum heads that is).

They are obviously still a top 25 team, but I understand their frustration after the JMU loss. They lost by 13 and that includes a lost fumble that was returned almost 90 yards for a TD for JMU... potentially a 14 point swing on that play alone.

Just read a news article from the Weber State post game against JMU that Barron has a knee injury that could keep him out a few more weeks. We'll see how the week progresses, but as it stands right now it sounds like it will either be Weisser or Johnson.

Oh I agree. I wasn't making a case for us to move up, more so stating that there really wasn't even the opportunity given the results of the week. We beat Weber this week and I think we make the jump into the top 10.

Exactly. Since Hawkins' arrival, the Aggies have proven to be a very good 2nd tier team in the Big Sky. We are winning games, but struggle to put the whole thing together against the premier teams in the conference. I stand by my statements from before the Dixie State game that I believe this team has the talent to go undefeated this season. They just have to find a way to put the whole thing together against the Weber States and Eastern Washingtons of the conference.

Weber State comes into this game with a 1-2 record. They have losses to FBS Utah and top 5 FCS James Madison. Their win came against mutual opponent Dixie State. It looks like they have 3 different quarterbacks who have taken snaps this season so far due to injuries. Bronson Barron is 31/53 for 303 yards with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, Kylan Weisser is 15/25 for 177 yards with 1 touchdown, and Randall Johnson is 11/21 for 158 yards with 1 interception.

Unsurprisingly Rashid Shaheed is Weber's leading receiver with 9 catches for 126 yards and a touchdown on the season. He is EXTRAORDINARILY dangerous in the kick and punt return game and will 100% burn you if you aren't playing your cards right. Ty MacPherson has added 11 catches for 121 yards with a touchdown.

Their run game seems to have diverted from just Josh Davis getting a million snaps per game. Dontae McMillan has 208 yards on 28 attempts with a touchdown. The aforementioned Davis only has 83 yards on 23 attempts with a touchdown. Don't let Davis' numbers fool you though, he has proven time and time again that he will do damage given the opportunity.

On defense the Wildcats are being led by safety Preston Smith with 20 tackles (12 solo) 2 for loss and defensive end George Tarias with 20 tackles (14 solo) 2 for loss and 1 sack. Safety Ja'Kobe Harris has added 11 tackles (9 solo) and 2 picks for the Wildcats. As a team they are allowing 354 yards per game.

Weber ain't a joke. They weren't pushovers against James Madison and only allowed 3 points to an opponent we allowed 27 (different quarterbacks of course, but still a common opponent). I would love to win this game, but I'm skeptical until we prove that we can finally put it together against a top tier opponent.

Aggies win 60-27. Hard to argue with dropping 60, but the vanishing act of the passing game was strange. Great game from a running stand point that struggled in the first 2. The defense was an enigma. 5 interceptions and enough dropped ones to almost push double digits, but so many bad plays in coverage, bad tackling, and too many penalties. Gotta clean it up.

There's been 3 or 4 dropped picks too

5th INT

Venable with the pick

Aaaaand we let them convert on 3rd and 26

Larison gets in the end zone. Aggies up 53-27.

Gilliam having a great game for sure. Good timing too as our few passing attempts haven't looked spectacular

it's a different qb

The offensive play calling has been strange, but the run has finally worked after the first 2 games... Dixie went with a different QB than the first 2 games, but a QB like Barriere is gonna have a field day against a secondary playing like this

secondary plays like this against EWU... Forget about it. Don't even show up to that game.

This defense is unacceptable. If they play like this in conference play they will lose us games

These penalties are killer

Our passing game has completely fallen off a cliff

Atrocious tackling

Offense stalls out...
