That was magic.

They have a couple big receivers that are much lengthier than our DBs

No INT. Gonna be EWU ball at 15 since whistle blew?

Gilliam wide open. Need to get running game going. Can’t have dead spots.

he got burnt deep on the long pass on the drive and also the first long TD pass at NAU.

LOL.

Can you believe their kicker?

Budget is getting burned. Two easy catches this drive.

Fake punt changed momentum

I knew a fake punt was coming up.

Hopefully the run game will start working better. It has been a bit pedestrian the past couple games. Need to wear them down and help pass game.

Wow. How big are special teams. Clang.

Unfortunate PI on pass way out of bounds

Would prefer deep kicks into end zone.

likely ref thought ball might have been caught across line of scrimmage (doubtful) or some sort of pick.

Good start. A bit surprised Tompkins did not come in.

AGS forum is interesting. I highly recommend checking out posts by “Mr. Chicken” who posts exclusively in “chicken speak - BAWK!” I always get a good chuckle. Think he’s a Delaware fan.

I think you meant Martinez? Yes I noticed that too-sailing past the QB-can’t do that with Barriere or he’ll just pack it up the gut. Hopefully plenty of time to learn and prepare - keep him in pocket with some pressure I think is the key.

I think Montana State’s 4 down defensive line alignment - I believe their normal defense plus having a fast stud in Troy Anderson at middle backer really messed with EWU and Barriere.

Frazier (backup safety) seemed to have good wheels on him when blitzing the NAU quarterback. But as riveraggie said, the Ags did not contain the NAU quarterback. I think you have a better chance of containment with four down lineman but don’t think that will be an option with the current defensive schemes.

Maybe Best should have benched Barriere instead of firing the O coordinator. I am sure he “resigned” as an alternative to getting fired. Pretty sure Best is striking out at anything for an excuse (except personal reflection of course).
