Agreed on too early to tell. Plus, I am giving Hawkins and company a lot of leniency this season, as I gave Gould and his staff their first season. It takes a while to build up their vision of what the program should look like. The Maier to Doss connection looks like the real deal though. Hoping to see more of Modise against defenses that is quite as fast should be an interesting matchup.

The only receiver to have more yards was a guy from Richmond and they played Sam Houston State in a game where there was almost 1000 yards of passing between the 2 teams (Richmond - 546, SHSU - 411).

After 1 game, Doss' 181 yards is good enough for 2nd in all of FCS for receiving yards per game. Let's hope he can keep that pace up!

New offer out on 2 star DB Logan Taylor from Harbor City, CA. Strange distribution of scholarship offers from D2 Western New Mexico and Azusa Pacific to FBS Vanderbilt.

Looking back on the game, I think we may have landed a real diamond in Maier. He threw 1 bad interception, but he completed nearly 80% of his passes and that includes tossing bombs downfield. A lot of times when you see crazy high completion percentages its because the QB is doing nothing but check downs and screens, not the case here. He was also pretty darn accurate when on the move in roll outs and play actions. I really liked what I saw from him in his first division 1 game especially considering he was thrown into the shark tank.

It's also only been 1 game though. I hope he can keep clicking we Doss because that connection was a thing of beauty against SDSU.

Apparently Protheroe went down with a knee injury in Cal Poly's game against San Jose State. That would be absolutely disastrous for them if he lost playing time.

Modise showed some explosiveness and lateral agility towards the end of the game against the reserves. He did manage to average 4.4 yards a carry which isn't bad, it's just that we only gave the ball to him 10 times.

Agreed on the CJ plays. SDSU sniffed those out easily and that was without tape on the offense. Other teams will know what to expect now. The only thing we have going in terms of those plays is that physically we should be at a more even playing field from here on out.

Luckily DB is one of our deeper positions right now. Hoping things turn out alright for him. He's had a rough history with injuries.

Exactly what I was trying to convey and the commentators even mentioned in the stream. Yes, we were clearly outmatched, but there are things to build on here. There were flashes of good things. Once Maier calmed down, he was accurate and made good decisions with the ball. Doss abused DBs of a potential top 25 FBS team. Montgomery had a couple of nice catches against the reserves. It's still too early to tell how this season is going to go, but there were some positives from tonight.

Well a 3 TD loss, could have been waaay worse. Doss was impressive as per usual. Outside of the early picks, Maier ended up putting together a solid outing. The run game needs some work, but there towards the end Modise had a couple of nifty runs. Tough to learn much from a game like this where 1 team is physically superior by a large amount.

Time to head back to Davis and get ready for USD.

Speaking of USD, they won their game today against division 2 Western New Mexico, but allowed over 450 yards of passing. Doss could be in for a big day if they allow those kind of numbers in the secondary.

This may be garbage time, but it's showing that we can be competitive against players that are on a more similar skill level to us.

Love seeing us compete to the end.

TD AGGIES! Montgomery true freshman!

Doss again

Defense looks better against the reserve offense.

Doss is going to put up huge numbers this season. 170 yards against an FBS opponent.

TD AGGIES!

Doss again with extra effort to get a 1st down. 6 catches 130+ yards. Good night for him.

Tonight absolutely. I'm withholding judgement for the rest of the season until I can see us work against FCS opponents. USD should be a good game next week. Non-scholarship team, but beat CP in the playoffs last season.

Doss is an incredible receiver

And a botched play
