South Dakota State’s jerseys are sans names. So are Incarnate Word’s. In todays portal and what’s in it for me culture, I think it is kind of refreshing. A subtle message that is it’s more about the team than me would, in my opinion, would also serve them in their future careers, and in life in general. But I am a bit old school I guess.

Idaho had only 225 yards of total offense and was 1-13 on third down. Wyoming is not a very good team. Idaho has been incredibly efficient in their games, which is a good thing. If they are “scary”, it is because of their bend but don’t break defense.

??? Arizona played Northern Arizona. Skatebo plays for Arizona State. Arizona State played Mississippi State. But you got his stats correct :-). And pretty impressive they are.

ooooh, right on the gulf. That is going to be one steamy environment unless there is a breeze. Hurricane territory too. Seems to me there would be less attendance there than just playing it in Macon (Mercer’s home field). Travel for the “home” Mercer fans and Davis fans are not known to travel outside of Bay Area other than players parents and a few die hards. Added to that what I would consider not exactly a sexy destination location. I guess we will see.

pass defense was very porous in second half. Many big chunk plays and commerce was 4-4 on fourth down conversions. I think the absence of Rex Conners really showed in the second half. The passing yardage for commerce was obscene but you have to give credit to their QB who refused to go down and had a strong but inconsistently accurate arm.

I think the play calling and offense is still somewhat seeking an identity. Passing success in the second half opened up the run, but run was stuffed up the middle in first half. There seems to be no lateral running game as in pass years by which to make the defense have to guard against both. Simply running up the middle predictably has not been a good formula so far. If we had an o-line like North Dakota showed in the second half against Montana, it might be a different story. Maybe Plough should consider recruiting from some midwestern corn-fed boys.

cover zero and absolutely stacking the box with no defender further than 7 yards off the line of scrimmage (at least from what I could see on TV) and the call is to run twice on a couple of critical late series. I don’t think that was entirely on Hastings but was the call, i.e. to run and play it safe. Regardless, seems like a tight end release or some such route would have been a good call.

Thank you David Meyer!

With them stacked on second down seems like La pass over the top to tight end would be a. Easy pitch and catch.

This is sad. All the momentum with commerce.

I don’t think it is playbook - it is execution.

Stupid penalty.

Dude is hard to bring down. Really missing Rex Conners tonight.

Oh man.

Too much time and blown coverages.

good one.

Good for Cloyd.

Keep Genetti as kick off person. He seems to have more leg.

I think a bit of mind games with Hastings. Some of his first half throws were almost like throwing scared or without confidence. Then he can turn around and make great reads and throws. I think wide open routes and throws gets him going.

Yes! A kick into the end zone.

If they stack the box go wide with speed.
