Even the play by play guys are commenting about Hastings. I would really like to see Harper get some snaps.

And Tompkins in at RB

I thought it would be interesting to look back at the RB promotional film going into the season.

For some reason i always have an issue with the audio on these press conferences using my ipad. On this one, the queations came in loud and clear but no audio on the coaches mic.

Budgett is 6.0’ and 193lbs. His rushing stats in HS are impressive. Seems like a possibility to me.

I wonder if we have any former RBs on defense that could move over to offense?

“ Also, any news on Larison's injury?”
My hunch is they keep it quiet for a while to make teams prep for him.

I’d like to see what Harper can do. BTW Dixon was on the side lines with what looked like a knee issue.

Somebody earlier commented that every year pre-season they get their hopes up, that this is going to be the breakout year, then disappointment. I have the same sentiment. We just don’t seem to get over the hump. But on the bright side, our defense looks solid. I’m just not going to get my hopes up anymore and just roll with the punches.

This one stung like the year we lost to S. Alabama. Something is obviously different with Miles this year compared to last. Lordy, he was the top QB on the stats sheet for completions, fewest pics, etc. The turnovers were the difference in this game. Even against Commerce, we had 4. Last night he made some really poor choices including throwing balls out of bounds making it impossible for the receiver to bring it in.
Harper brings a few twists to the position. He’s a lefty and a much better scrambler than Miles. But our coaches never seem to make a QB change during the season.
We are a middle of the pack Big Sky Team.

The SLAC score was 27-36 Vandals

Good on the Vandals!
SLO - ouch. I’m starting to feel sorry for them. Historically such a strong program. Remember that dreaded triple option? They were a force to be dealt with. Hopefully they can turn it around so the golden horse shoe has meaning again.

Idaho 13 SLAC 3 end of the half

Yep

Game day. Let’s beat the Eagles!

SUU forced us to beat them through the air by completely stymieing our running game, 93 total yrds on the ground, maybe 40 in the first half? I expect EWU to have the same game plan. Another big question will be whether EWU’s pass rush is as effective as SUU’s was. I noticed that on predicted pass plays, SUU brought in 4 new linemen who I presume were their pass rushers. It seems like they weren’t blitzing that much and that their front 4 were handling it. As you mention, we need to control the line.
I see Bob is taking us by 7. I’m thinking more like 3.

I think they one of those triangular fold out signs out in front. If you come in on the east side and never walk past the 50 yard line near the press box you’d never see it. But they have a good selection.

Aggie swag can be bought in the Bruce Edwards room, right under the press box. They were open for business at the SUU game. Welcome back Amurden.
BTW, you can also buy swag downtown, in the ARC, and of course the bookstore.

Same here in the valley.

Smoke in the valley today. Hopefully that won’t affect Saturday.
