Skipper is a good hire and Poly also has something called money which is very helpful in the current enviro.

I wouldn’t take anything from that depth chart other than they wanted to have Sam play SAM. To one of the other points above, good corner play should help not hurt run D because you can bring your nickel and the box safety down. The concerning part of the run D last season wasn’t year end when the mash unit was playing it was early on with a healthy DL and both Connors couldn’t slow anyone down.

They ran qb trap with Pinnick out of the gun. Even at UW which was really playing with fire. They also had a lot of boot options so the designed qb run game did exist. His legs and ability to extend drives was the reason behind that late season surge with a defense that was banged up and couldn’t stop anyone.

Sarcasm, right? Find a better stretch of qb play at Davis over the last 20 years.

Wow. Looks like they have sold no more than a couple hundred seats. Have to wonder how important football is up there to lose a few million dollars a year and have zero support. This might be their last hurrah.

Doubt it. PSU gets 1,500-2,500 for their early season games typically.

Written by AI. Not comprehensive or accurate.

And UW doesn’t start until the next week so Cam should be able to make the game.

Nice report. The TE group should be a strength. They are all the rage these days but more importantly that is a position where Davis has an advantage recruiting (as with Harbs Stanford teams) relative to WR. Need to use some of those guys as big options in the slot to offset some of the size issues in the wr room.

Plough didn’t suggest the team actually selects the starter by vote. That would be crazy. He meant you can tell by how the unit operates who the guys have confidence in.

With the Big Ten also playing early in the week and the Big 12 having just a few teams west of the central time zone it seems like there’s an opportunity for a more traditional thurs/sat combo which also avoids NBA Fridays.

Not until late next month. The dominoes need to fall with the networks’ primary partners (Big Ten in this case) before they start filling FS1/2 and CBSSN dates with the MWC.

Saturdays at 2 and Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 6/7.

It’s entirely possible to buy most of these crappy home games and still play at a couple of the Bay Area schools along with home and homes with at least two of UCSB/UCI/UCSD/Poly/Pacific. This is just pathetic. There will be zero local interest in this schedule.

Indefensibly bad.

All Big Sky home games will be on espn+ with the exception of those that are picked up by an ESPN broadcast network. As a fan this is actually a better arrangement than the MW+ has for football.

The SID is run with interns and fellowships. That was one of the cost cutting moves. This issue ranks pretty low on the problems list.

CBSSN and FS2 are in a lot of households but almost nobody tunes in to those channels. And with how they stack events you usually lose half the game to the truck race or frisbee contest that went long prior to tip. This is a downgrade from ESPN+ in a lot of respects.

Agree on the demand for posts. Don’t agree on the roster. You win with age and experience. The inbound guys have neither and the international players always struggle on the defensive end with physical play. The inability to bring in anyone that has had success at any level of college basketball is alarming and points to some reputation/culture issues (and a lack of money). I don’t see this group as an upgrade from last year and the comp has gone up a notch.

Agree. I just don’t see how this works. Hope to be wrong.
