Get some pressure on QB

good time for a turnover - but just stop them.

Weber - Montana 48-48 into overtime. Where is the vaunted Griz defense?

Now defense step up

Larison looks like he has a shoulder stinger.

Why not go tempo?

it was Dixon but maybe 7 yards downfield - ultimate gain unknown at this point.

Defense needs to step up. No juice in the Aggies today. Maybe still basking in the Idaho win. Need to take each game dead seriously.

Whiffed block

yes …too much time.

defensive adjustments must be made. Otherwise it will just be a shoot out.

that would be on whomever was split out. William’s was covered up and so was ineligible.

Alignment issue need to be off the line! Arghhh

Just punt and go to the locker room.

DBs are just lost

No pressure on qb

Secondary looks lost.

yes, real grass. Much easier on joints and bodies. Kind of wish the stadium had it but with multi-use and maintenance I understand. When Dave Doeren took the job at MC State, he wanted the real turf replaced with artificial. The University said “no” due in part to its nationally recognized turf program - University won. Penn State has a beautiful bluegrass field (also a turf program, ditto Auburn, Texas A&M, all Ag schools with turf programs. None of the mentioned are in multi-use stadiums though.

My thoughts on the game likely parallel others:

Miles had an excellent game with good decisions and better pocket and rollout execution. It reminded me of his 2022 game in the Kibbe Dome in which he was something like 17-19 with one throw just off the fingertips in the end zone (perhaps catchable) and the one other incompletion an intentional smart throw out of bounds. He was truly masterful in that game - but of course the run game was cooking in that game.

I was a bit puzzled with the fall back of no kickoffs into the end zone. That was ok in this case but you don’t want to let the likes of Montana’s Junior. Bergen return kicks.

Punting was lackluster, specifically just short in distance.

In addition to being an excellent cover man, Kavir Bains is one heck of a tackler.

Well I haven’t lived in CA for over 30 years, but if money via the local community is a major factor, it seems Sac has a natural advantage. Here in NC, Waste Management (a big garbage implant out here owned by an alum I believe) bankrolled sports facilities and such for NC State. Also Wendell Murphy (Smithfield Foods). I don’t know of any big companies (such as Teichert construction, Bechtel, etc.) with Davis alums that control benevolence. Maybe AAC has some corporate pledges plus they have legislators - maybe some of them are alums? - that want to grease the wheels.

If the University and AD were real serious, there would be “development officers” pounding the streets as we speak. But besides facilities, I do not know how scholarships and operating funds related to stepping up would be funded.
