These are never apples to apples. Some schools report facility amortization as part of operating expenses while others don’t. In most places there are football costs allocated to the AD rather than to football specifically, which I suspect is the case with the Dakota schools.

Right now what they need is less perspective and more size at receiver and speed at linebacker. Will need to play more young guys if they want to get back to the playoffs.

There are quite a few things that cost nothing and that show some degree of planning and prep that Rocko has not mastered.

Fisch watched Oregon put up 69 on Ok State earlier in the day and didn’t want a repeat of the mistakes they made last week. It wasn’t a fair fight back with 85 scholarships vs 63 but $20m rosters versus guys on partial scholarships is a whole different level of imbalance.

Coach Pete spends Saturdays at the Fox studio.

And a Davis grad / KDVS alum.

Mainly it’s just the budget. The collectives aren’t doing much at either place although they do have aspirations.

It sure can be. SD and UCI are providing their programs with the resources to be successful.

Warren Moon is the honorary captain on Sat, so that’s pretty cool.

This will look much like Oregon State a few years back. The QB is electric and they have one of the best backs in the Big Ten. They aren’t great on D.

Cotton started for Utah and played well. Looks like Bains also had few stops yesterday.

Williams has had two rough games. He struggled early last year in the run game and has missed a bunch of assignments last week. They’re playing a lot of two TE and getting very little production. Plough has blinders for some of these guys and somehow continues to miss the obvious, which is Fisher is the best weapon he has on offense.

Well oiled machine!

Join the club….

Agree on Mercer. They are a qb away from being a contender. No way Davis would have hung with them without Pinnick’s mobility.

The whole thing is likely to break up and realign again before that happens. UNLV is a much more talented version of Sac right now.

Starter. The two deeps are meaningless.

Most programs Davis included call the edge a LB but functionally this is a pass rushing DE that usually lines up on the ball. Last year they played base with two LBs, Meyer and Connors. This year sub out Meyer for Rutchena. The game is situational so you match groupings based on the personnel on offense but you usually need 5 dbs on the field and a lot of the mix/match depends on whether your better player/matchup is an athletic third backer or a safety that can play up in the box.

The $ position is an edge that rushes from the LOS, so 4-2-5.
