Dr. Mille. Watched this last night 60 minute version on PAC-12 network last night after returning from west coast. The score is not indicative of the game. It was 45-9 until a couple late scores by ISU. Unlike UCD Stanford in which both sides played subs at the same time, Kal put in their scrubs early and ISU went with first stringers to the end. Two late scores. QB Gueller passes almost exclusively to his wideout brother. His bro is good but if you stop that, there goes there passing game. ISU also suffered from poor tackling. Cal was rotating a couple QB’s.

Agree with Dr. Mike’s assessment. Maier wasn’t as bad as some folks are saying here IMO. There was pressure that disrupted his passing lanes (Could actually tell he was trying to redirect passes to account for that at times) and Stanford coverage was tight for the most part. I think not having Harrell hurt - another opportunity to stretch the field. Aggies also dropped some balls (inexcusable), and there was at least 1 miscommunication route with Preece (sp?).

Punting game was awful - except the Howitzer toward the end that outkicked coverage. The wind looked stiff at the top of the stadium, but hard to tell what it was like on the field - I got the impression that Whelan was struggling with his drop.

I thought defense was stellar. Not much help from O. What I really noticed was the tackling - very few missed. A BIG change from past years. They were not “overmatched” like might be expected.

I thought Rodriguez was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t even recognize the name and thought the other guy from the USD game would be in. One bad misread (maybe partly a receiver thing too) for the interception, but he seemed otherwise accurate with a nice tight spiral. He really threw a nice ball for the TD.

I don’t think Stanford looked very good. Costello looked pretty bad at times. They are going too need a resurgent Love and some improvement to battle for PAC-12 crown although I would say PAC-12 is down this year. USC looked awful against Texas.

I like bringing back the old school CA. I think it is more unique. I’ll have my old baseball CA cap on in Palo Alto Saturday. Left the wife and daughter in Raleigh to deal with the hurricane. Felt sort of bad, but now only tropical storm there at best. Enjoying the low humidity here in No. Cal.

Didn’t Standord beat Navy the week prior to losing to UCD in 2005?

Excellent defense first half

UND played tough for 3 quarters then UDub rolled. Ketteringham (ex-Sac State) looked awful for UND. Made poor decisions.

Case Cookus injured for No. AZ. SDSU handling MSU.

Anybody want to come out of retirement and kick for UND?

UNC coming back. Just scored TD. Down by 6 with PAT.

USD 34 UNC 14
Penalties killing UNC who has moved the ball well. USD QB is quite impressive

Portland state punter is going to have to ice down his leg tonight.

PAC-12 network show on Best pac-12 coaches at each school selected Bellotti at Oregon. And yes Virginia, Pop Warner at Stanford, not Bill Walsh.

The Dakota games will be interesting. Will give an indication of where no. Colorado, Montana State and Big sky in general stands against a couple of very good teams.

NDSU leads the series 4-3 including a 31-28 victory in the last meeting Nov. 10, 2007, in San Luis Obispo, Calif. The Bison scored 22 straight points in the final 10 minutes of the game to erase a 28-9 deficit and won it with Kole Heckendorf's 80-yard touchdown reception from Steve Walker with 38 seconds to go.

Matches up ok in 2007. Nobody has matched up well with NDSU lately except for JMU. Recently, the 2 programs have been going in opposite directions. Line of scrimmage was dominated by NDSU - didn’t need to pass.

I know they played a good pac 10 team but Weber did not look good. Really missed their QB of last year. I think they got a total of 70 yards all game. They have a true frosh QB.

Don’t know about ORoirke but kicking has not been good for quite some time. Could have been critical tonight.

Well. Need to work on the field goal kicking.

great stop.

Announcers think Love was injured first half.

Announcers suspect Thomas may not be 100%

Sounds like the boo birds are out listening to the radio. Safety

Well utah busts a 87 yard run for TD. Back runs away from secondary.
