Bruce has been better in the Hawkins era. He was intolerable during Gould's tenure though.

I know there are people here that disagree with me, but the ORs on the depth chart still bug the daylights out of me. As a fan of the team, I just want to know who is going to be playing!

I live on the east coast so driving there isn't super convenient. Was counting on that stream...

Hahaha even if that were the case they are supposedly the ONLY FBS team to not offer a stream of week 1... that is insane especially for a university in one of the tech capitals of the world.

Who knows, from what I can tell the only way to get the game is radio and they might have a live stat tracker. That is archaic and totally absurd that we aren't getting a video stream in 2018.

Per Kevin Blue, there is going to be NO online stream of the game. Radio only. SJSU only FBS team apparently to not offer stream for week 1. Holy hell, it's 2018...

haha tough to tell on the internet sometimes.

And I'm not saying the kid is a bad RB by any means. We will definitely have to be on top of him and make sure he doesn't get in rhythm. I just disagree with crediting players with something they didn't get.

Those are his raw stats... rushing attempts, rushing yards, and touchdowns. Sure he didn't play in 2 games but I still disagree. He netted 670 yards, you just can't call that a 1000 yard rusher. His avg yards per game was 60. Add 120 yards for the 2 games he missed and that is still only 800 yards.

Poly was their 2nd game of the season. Nevens did not play in that game.

I get trends throughout the season, but I disagree with crediting someone with stats that they didn't get.

Here's his stats by game:
DNP
DNP
6-12/0
5-21/0
10-35/0
17-94/0
21-99/0
22-84/0
26-112/0
15-46/0
21-118/1
4-11/0
16-38/0

He missed a couple games and had a stretch of games in the middle of the season where he was putting up yards... He had 1 TD on the season though. 163 carries and 1 TD.

Just for reference... Justin Williams, Namane Modise, and Tehran Thomas all had higher avg yards per rush than Nevens did for SJSU of course he was going up against FBS defenses, but still.

In terms of Nevens rushing are you talking about high school because he only had a net 670 yards rushing last season, which is still decent but not the same as a 1000 yard rusher. Looking at perspective again, yes Oliver had 35 catches but only averaged 8.5 yards per catch and had a long of 21 yards on the season. Doesn't seem like a huge deep threat or anything although players can develop season to season. I don't know, I still have a good feeling about this game. I think the will struggle to stop our passing attack but our defense is going to have to step up from where it was last season.

I surely hope you are right. The only thing I think SJSU might have is more D1 talent in depth which they could use to grind us down. I agree with you that Doss will be the best player on either side and Maier is fun to watch as well.

From what I read on the SJSU fan forum is that their fans are pretty split on the QB situation. Some are saying their rumored starter looks comfortable, but others have said that he didn't look good in a scrimmage. I'm not even sure I would call them a 2 TD favorite right now. Schools last season had ample time to prepare for Doss and were not able to do anything against it. Doss even went off on SDSU and that was Maier's first game.

I'm sure that a depth chart will be posted in the game notes, but there will probably be a lot of ORs on it.

About all they know is that they need to try to cover Keelan Doss and good luck with that. Doss even destroyed San Diego State's DBs. I think that this could be a good game for us.

Interesting note... when we got a commitment from Orlando Ornelas he was listed as a WR. His HS got a new coach and it appears he is playing wildcat QB now. Rushed for 176 yards and 2 TDs and added a passing TD in his first game of the season.

added him, I put him in the QB section since that appears to be his primary role.

HERO Sports is the one FCS site that has had a continuous positive outlook on the Aggies over this offseason. Hopefully we can shock some people.

Any notes from the scrimmage?

Anyone making it out to the scrimmage tomorrow? Would love to hear some analysis of how the guys look.
