This game just always felt like it was more of a defensive battle with the defenses of both teams shutting down the ground attack and making it hard to put up points. SUU is a tough team and their 0-3 record is deceiving since their first two losses were to FBS Arizona and BYU.

However, I'm still not sure how potent our offense is. TAMC was overmatched so they weren't a good barometer of our offense and OSU overwhelmed us on both sides of the ball so that didn't tell us much either. So last night I felt like it the game was a much better indicator of where we stand against pretty good FCS teams and, from my perspective, we don't seem to have that explosive passing attack that we often associate with Aggie football over the years.

We appear to have more of a short, possession type passing attack that depends on yards after the catch rather than deeper pass patterns and the occasional long ball. I haven't seem that burner speed and the ability to create separation deeper down the field from our receivers and we haven't seen Hastings connecting on the deeper patterns very often. So I'm left wondering if we just don't have that more explosive passing attack in our arsenal?

Thanks. I even had the score wrong. I corrected my post.

I really don't understand why we went to such a spread-out, prevent defense after we went up by 9 in the 4th. SUU went right down the field and scored by completing pass after pass underneath our DB's. What good is a soft, prevent defense that allows 10 to 15 yard passing plays while they're driving down the field?

CSU came close but lost to Colorado 43-35 in 2OT.

If that't the case, we'll go 4-4 also. They played us even and actually ended up with more totally yards: 381 to 349. The Aggies benefited from 5 first downs from SUU penalties and the Thunderbirds really shot themselves in the foot on that last drive by the Aggies that resulted in a short FG which put us up by 9.

Boom…SUU answers right back.

Well that woke up the fans!

We’re going to see if this team can dig down deep now and grind this one out. It feels fast in the stadium.

Absolutely!
