    Beautiful TD play.

    Looks like Idaho is going with the running qb

    At some point you need to open up the passing game to mix it up if nothing else.

    I like the short swing passes to Gilliam on short yardage rather than always up the gut.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    yah, I caught that too.

    Well I will say that Hastings runs better than Maier

    Third qb already for vandals
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    4-0 and a bunch of empty seats.

    There will be no rpo with Hastings - less for their defense to guard against.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    Uh oh is right. I like his mobility that Hastings doesn’t have. Hope others pick it up.

    Well at least the extra point was blocked - but nothing behind the line of scrimmage for defense.

    it really is an ag mech or student club similar to the tractor pull clubs at many US ag schools. My guess is that those sorts of clubs are not at Davis - more of a Midwest and southern thing. Unless there is some sort of existing club with a faculty advisor, it would be difficult to get going.

    When going to a break, the Cal Poly announcers, unaware they were on the air, said “another blowout” after Cal Polys first series subsequent to an opening scoring drive by Weber. At least they are honest.

    Sam Houston without Schmidt their starting QB.

    NDSU-UND was a slobber knocker. Not pretty to watch but NDSU defense made the plays when needed. UND qb made massive mistake when he threw a pass up for grabs at about the NDSU 20 in 3rd quarter. Both teams had only 1 TD.

    UND 7 NDSU 6 at half. Game in Grand Forks.

    “Ollie” as in “Big C” fight song. Used instead of “Oski” (the golden bear) that Kal uses.

    Long-standing traditions seem to fall by the wayside to “new traditions” at which I chuckle at the oxymoronish nature. Cheerleaders used to stand on milk cans and wear denim outfits embracing the “Aggie” tradition but of course that went out of vogue.

    that was not on the clip I saw, but yes, the fumble was on 4th down and the play was going nowhere so no practical difference.

    Thought Jay Hill’s comments were classy, i.e., no excuses. He hit the nail on the head with turnover margin (their’s season to date) being a big factor. You could see the frustration in his face.

    Who’d have thunk in the not too distant past that the Ags would have 2 wins with only 19 and 17 points in an entire season let alone 2 of 4 games. Defense and special teams, particularly punting and turnovers are very key ingredients are what win you the close ones and make more special seasons. In part, a more ball control type of offense oftentimes helps the defense.

    I remember seeing Idaho play UOP in Stockton at a band day in the early 70s when I was in a high school band in the same county. Don’t remember who won. Also saw Santa Clara with Dan Pastorini beat Pacific in Stockton at another band day. I think Pacific was in the PCAA then. Not sure about Idaho.
