agreed. That’s why it is good to start ranked high. You have to work your way out of the top 25. Also I have heard regarding the coaches poll that the coaches don’t vote- it may be the SID or Athletic Directors. And then probably using a ouija board (wait - that would take too much time).

Montana is almost always over-ranked. Part of it is name legacy, probably somewhat due to following/attendance “program” history. If they lose to Montana State (I think they will) they will have 4 league losses, no quality wins - as you noted a crap schedule. No way they should be considered in that eventuality. I think they schedule weak teams on purpose - no need to chase the money with an FBS game. They always seem to have more home than away games - and Missoula provides a definite home field advantage with a packed stadium and fans so close to the field. Man was it sweet to trounce them in 2018.

From the Bobcat nation board referring to Davis in an FCS score thread and Aggies leading Idaho in the first half - “I’m glad we played them when we did, I do not want to play them now”

Congrats to MSU and Bozeman landing College Game Day. It’s going to be chilly there at the 7:00 am local start of CGD.

The quote that this is the Best team in Aggie History, by the Head Coach raises the bar VERY HIGH. With that statement we need to win out and make the play-offs to be even close to the best team in UCD history. Hawk open the door VERY WIDE with this bold statement. Can anyone help me understand why he would make that statement?

I think maybe the best construction or interpretation of that quote spoke to the depth of the team. I believe this is probably true if taken with this interpretation. I saw a lot of line and linebacker rotation last night with some names I had never heard of. Just a lot of solid players that can do the job. Maybe not a Keelan Doss playmaker (although one couldn’t expect much out of Gilliam and his outstanding year). I wold say that this year’s defense is better than 2018. And the offense is really humming now.

Rex Connors 15 tackles!

I hope Rex and Porter’s parents were able to attend. Chatted with them in Bozeman and they drove there so I suspect they did. Rex has a real nose for the ball.

Yes. Actually both offensive and defensive line play was dominant. Offensive line did a great job of protecting Hastings, although Hastings does a great job of getting the ball out quickly.

Showed character and poise by stemming the momentum tide in third quarter.

Hope it’s just a cramp with King.

yes.

Gomez has really been banging them as of late.

I was going to say “a short pass?”

Great play by throwing.

Gotta recover onside kick.

Kennedy looks like he is dragging his right arm leaving field.

King.

Amen.

YES!!!!!

Big play!

Hastings is doing great

Big Stop

Kennedy!
