I believe both Porter and Rex filed appeal for medical redshirt. Original application was denied due to the NCAA considering the Mercer game a "game played" against their eligibility threshold of >30% of games played. Appeal makes the claim that Mercer "does not count" statistically therefore shouldn't also count against the players' eligibility threshold. Would be interesting to hear if anyone on Mercer is in the same boat..

Best part of game yesterday: NO SQUIB KICKS

If I recall, Winston Williams went down the game before. Wonder if he'll get the season back?

Man if a week 0 "no contest" steals a full year from the Connors bros I'll be salty

Nothing motivates a mediocre squad like hearing your HC is fielding other positions before the last leg of the season...

Wonder when we'll know more about Connor's bros appeals to NCAA for medical yr

Injuries have this negative flywheel effect where injuries beget more injuries because those who can stay healthy, have to shoulder more of the load as the season goes. This is more true the earlier in the season those injuries occur - and unfortunately the injury bug came early this year.

I totally trust the UCD staff, but I have noticed that NDSU, SDSU and MSU mix in designed QB run really effectively.

What I find odd is the lack of designed QB run plays. Get that +1 in the run game, especially in short yardage or low RZ. Wildcat was a staple in the RZ last year. I know Caden's not a bruising runner but I'd take fish or vargas running that all day.

Embarrasing rly

BigSky needs their own network what a joke

This is good color. Thank you

I mean, to quote a common coach-ism "how you do the little things is how you do everything" so how is this stuff overlooked ?

Sorry for the rant there, but it reflects poorly on both programs and the conference when camera crews are shaking the camera, missing the ball entirely and cutting to replays at the worst possible times. Feels cheap/lazy. Maybe that's a ESPN issue? BigSky should create it's own network and camera crews? No clue how that works

I feel like the Big Sky really shoots itself in the foot with each school's (aside from UM and MSU) inability to produce a reliable, stable, visually appealing, unified streaming experience for fans watching around the country.. If the BigSky wants to grow, you can't turn away new viewers at the door because the streams are so rough and unreliable. SUU and Utah Tech entering the fold next yr is what made me think of this. I would donate to UCD ASAP if I knew it went directly to providing a better stream quality/experience.

totally agree. In my view, given enough time Davis should excel in any conference with the academic draw and quality of person it attracts

worth a watch for sure

wasn't Cal in the ACC when we played them last yr?

Looks favorable for the ags. SMU is a wild matchup. Weird we play Idaho in Moscow two years in a row

does this mean they're sold out then?
