As i said earlier, their QB is a real bruiser. When he turns it down field he’s not sliding, he’s running through guys and dragging them. We need to jump on them and get them out of their game plan. Win the toss? Take the ball.

I was really surprised that we didn’t get more yards on the ground. We have the talent, maybe the defense wanted to force us into passing situations? And possibly thats not such a good idea :).

People's roles are a subject I think would best be served with its own message board topic. Perhaps I or someone else will do that today.
We actually had a separate thread on this years ago. As i recall it was a good discussion. A new thread sounds like a good idea. Bob Dunning seems to think poor student attendance is the result of being FCS.

From todays Dixie Sun News

“ #2 – No “Offense”, But…

There’s no denying that the Trailblazer offense has struggled to put up points on the board. DSU has been outscored 60-10 this season which means they have only reached the end zone just once this season. Compared to last season, DSU had put up 55 points through their first two games. If a team fails to score and score frequently, it is difficult to win football games. Again, the level of competition is far higher than DSU has ever played before, but it’s hard to believe this is what they’d hope to see offensively this season.”

A win against Weber and EWU would be nice, but if I had to pick one it would be EWU. And their coach- yuck. Reminds me of Mattos.

Toreros jump into the fire again next week, visiting Montana State Bobcats. For years they would hang mainly in their weak conference then go to the playoffs by virtue of being conference champions. This year appears to be their toughest schedule that i recall.

I watched part of the Dixie-Weber game. The Dixie QB must be 7’ but rock solid. He is a beast when he turns it up field. He drags guys with him and runs over some. Their receivers are capable. Apparently he was at BYU and transferred over.

At the moment, the weatherman is calling for an 83 high for Saturday. Perfect for a night game. I believe having the game in the evening will really help student presence. The freshman run onto the field is always fun to watch. Hooefully the band (uh) will be in full force. Looking forward to the team aggie gathering, Aggie Football is back!

21-9 Panthers up, 3rd quarter. Go N.Iowa

Magic to the house! Wow!

We’re even now on botched kickoff receptions

Do we start substituting or stay on the throttle?

Knocking the wind out of ‘em now. 36-0 Ags

Are they practicing their 2 point conversions?

Wow, I’m not watching the stats, surprised.

I’m surprised we’re not getting yards on the ground and that SD is moving the ball on us. But its 16-0 :).

I notice most of the news coverage i see on the Toreros, especially after a loss, likes to hammer home the fact that they are non scholarship. I wonder if there are other “perks” their players get to offeset tuition, or are they really “non-scholarship?”

I watched their game with poly. The stream is lousy, but at least its something.

Sochor ised to say the steam engine was worth 7 points

This is what Rocko said in a team aggie email:

“ For football season ticket holders, we are planning for a return to full crowds at UC Davis Health Stadium starting on September 18th vs. Dixie State (7 p.m.). Our department and main campus have partnered to have the game a featured part of Orientation Week and we are expecting over 6,000 students for our home opener. As a result, we will have limited single game tickets available, so please let your friends know they should plan to buy tickets in the next few days before the remaining tickets are gone! ”

I’ve always liked Harrel. He has good hands, size, and speed.
