if it is possible, I’d say ram it down their throats but with Larison being on a apparent pitch count I don’t know if that would work. Tompkins is a shifty but not pounding runner. Portland State ran it down their throats but maybe they have made adjustments.

I think his biggest limitation is not being able to extend (and make) plays out of the ordinary. Then again, when I watch other big sky and other FCS quarterbacks, he doesn’t look that bad. In Big Sky, I think Chambers and Mallot combo is best, then maybe McCoy of Idaho, but the others, even those who can run some, are quite inconsistent.

#edit. I forgot about Cook, the QB for Idaho State. He looks good.

261 to 80 yards. Just shows you what turnovers (especially a long pick 6) will effect the game.

How many times have they let the play clock go to 0?

Great catch by Davis.

Larison does it all.

Need a mental clock and get rid of the ball. What a turn of events. NAU has less than 100 yards of offense yet 17 points.

It seems as if the offense is having difficulties getting plays in. A lot of confusion and near delay of games.

Maybe it’s just me but with Larison running the ball they is almost no chance they don’t convert 1st downs.

Maybe they are putting Larison on a pitch count.

Stop the tosses to Tompkins and use Larison!

Need LL for runs.

Need more big plays like that! Big plays have been missing.

Looks like Harper in is street clothes

Tompkins needs to stick his foot and go upfield a bit more than doing so much juking imo

Burned 2 timeouts already.

Seems like they are using Larison mostly as a decoy.

Portland State ran on NAU pretty much at will 2 weeks ago - something like 375 yards. Would be nice for the Ags to have a strong run game today. Just take care of the ball and I think the Ags will be fine. They have the better defense.

+1. Idaho State will put up some points - outcome will depend on their defense. Idaho State looked very good against Portland State.

Not to mention poor special teams play and a deficit in the turnover margin. Field position has been an issue in the losses. Also in the losses (i.e., EWU and Montana) very slow starts. I seem to remember in 2018 a lot of first drive scores and a fast-paced offense. Those attributes seem to have faded.
