The people who can’t pronounce Matteo?
MATTEO Perez: “mah-TAY-oh”

I watched the first half of the Weber McNeese game
And McNeese had one 68 yard running play but otherwise couldn’t run. Near the end of the half McNeese only had 71 yards total 68 on one play. Weber may be better on run defense than the statistics of that game show.

Psyk interview starts at 12 minute mark. Worth listening to.

There is no evidence that Sac State lacks quality coaching. Their coaches have impressive background. While some of the players have questionable backgrounds, most do not. They have depth so bad apples can be bypassed. The only way i see them self destructing is if some of them are thinking about their next gig, in November.

Fitzgerald has opinions about things he doesn’t understand and is proud of it, e..g. The Mercer game no decision circumstances and the crowd here boosted by students that didn’t stay until he looked around in the third quarter.
He is also.defensive about his education, otherwise why mention N Cal people as being educated. Everyone is educated these days, some people just didn’t learn anything.

Out of conference big sky stats are near meaningless because some teams are playing Lincoln while other play Oregon
In the two games against FCS competition, McNeese and Butler Weber gave up 7.8 yards per carry and 5.0 yards per carry respectively. I think Plough will try to be balanced. McNeese was and scored 41 points.

Note the date. Season not ended. David set the record, then Rex exceeded it.

I see he got the All Big Sky Academic team 2023 award that they gave to someone else because of the jersey number mix up. Better late than never.

Rex Connors has the school record from last year
School Record Holde- Single Season Solo Tackles (74)
David Meyer had (drumroll) …... 73

There are 23 players listed on the defensive depth chart for the Weber game, 11 of them are new to the program, 4 of those are true freshmen. Having some growing pains.

Thanks for the facts. Facts are hard to come by, usually we are attempting to read goat entrails.

Butler averaged 5,0 yards per rush against Weber,203 yards total so that bodes well.

Hear hear! They record these press conferences at such low volume that i need a silent room to be able to catch most of it when played on an IPAD.

I don’t know why this color is labeled aqua. The color aqua is about equally green and blue. Remember the bumper stickers “Keep Tahoe Blue”…..the point is to not turn it green.

Our defense is loaded with guys who have a history of making plays. I think you are right that the defense will get better.

Allen made a impressive tackle against Washington, one of those low tackles where the ball carrier somersaults. Allen is kind of a bowling ball.
Marquis Bell started according to box score. I noticed him playing a lot.

#3 Ty Richardson injured in some way is my guess. . He is the D3 All American from Tufts. His brother was playing this week for USC, as a starting wide receiver. The announcers noted they don’t often say “a graduate of Tufts”
I hadn’t noticed Richardson was not playing. His place was taken by the transfer from Liberty

Porter was rotating in. This year they seem to play more people on defense than last year. Now the question is who steps into the rotation in place of Mayo, and how much does he play.

320 lb starting NG left game with injury, so that will be something to watch

I don’t know if it is a speed issue, but if it is it may be because players put on too much weight. Linebacker is one area where almost every player adds significant weight. Porter was listed as a DB two years ago at 210 lbs, he is now listed at 220 Rutchena weighed 220 when he started several games for Cal as a freshman, he is now listed at 240.
