I think the 2005 team was the best Aggie defense I ever saw play. Only ended up 6-5, but look at the schedule:

vs. New Hampshire
vs. Portland State
@ Stanford
@ Sac State
vs. Southern Utah
@ North Dakota State
vs. Cal Poly
@ Stephen F Austin
@ Eastern Washington
vs. Northern Colorado

Ags are going to have to bleed to stay in this football game...it won't be pleasant.

In this case I think it is. NDSU is a runaway train at the FCS level they play at Top 35 level football (all college football), and have done so for the past decade.

Man, NDSU looked atrocious on special teams vs. UD early in the game

I honestly think we're going to get rolled but I want to see if our offense can move the ball consistently.

I think they found their scheme and HC. Maybe UNC is horrible. Who Knows.

Arizona State is not scoring a ton of points, but they play gangbusters on defense.

CA Forever's analysis is a good one.

Our OLine is long and active, and this offense requires them to work all types of pass pro but also to get out in space and block in free space. Davis' run game is predicated on spacing and finding daylight, this is not Ron Gould's run game. You could call it a zone scheme, but it's a different animal. I'd be interested to see if #72 Riley Gallant plays a little more on Saturday. He spot started against some tougher defensive lines in '18, Idaho State, @ Eastern in the playoffs, and opened up some huge holes in he power run game on the edge at RT. Gallant was one of the last Ron Gould guys who stayed with the system after Hawk came on...he's a senior. After the switch, the Aggies currently have 3 senior OL on the roster. I don't think any of them start.

As for Maier, I've been happy with his senior year thus far, he has been a little craftier in the pocket than the previous two years. That being said, he is not Tim Tebow...in the sense of being a pure bread athlete, runner, scrambler...but thankfully he can spin it.

Doss did not have a reception, did not see if he played or not. Had to get the sister to the airport during gametime.

Are these....highlights?

NDSU blows out Delaware on the road

It always seems like there was so many more trees back in the 70s

Dare I say that destinations like San Luis Obispo and San Diego are a little more enticing than Davis?...also an easier game? ;-)

I'd meet at Bison Turf, not too far from the stadium, kind of like the Fargo Grad.

However, I sadly won't be there, I'll be @ Portland though.
