I haven't been this frustrated watchinga Davis game since fall iif 2016

We're running it way too much fora team with the best receiving corps in the conference

Now come on offense, go from decent to great

UM misses the Field goal. Aggie ball with 7-3

Game wouldn't be complete without the weekly 1st-quarter 3 and out

we already have infinity times as many penalties as last game :/

7-3 UM. Our offense looks fine, defense needs to figure things out

Can't get it through web browser, but the Roku app is working. So it's a browser app problem, not a feed problem

I think base, from the Egriz reference (not sure which thread it was in). 3-3-5 is what SDSU runs so my understanding is Huack brought it over when he returned to Montana from San Diego.

I saw that Montana is up there in sacks and that's a little concerning -- but I think the deal is that their LBs are making a lot of the pressure. I hope that means there's some holes for quick 7-10 yard passes up the middle.

Maier's been good at avoiding interceptions but we've had running play, snap, and special teams miscues. Gotta cut down.

From reading Egriz forums it looks like Huack is running a 3-3-5 nickel defense but there's concerns about the experience of their secondary. If their DBs aren't up to a challenge and their DL isn't pressuring Maier then an extra safety might not help them that much. Hopefully Hawk airs it out early and forces them into skill tests against Doss, Harrell, Preece, and friends. Go Aggies!

sounds right. I'm sure Eleven or Root or someone would have bee picked this up at the beginning of the season if they knew how good the Ags would be...

Looked at the Stanford game stats again. Maier was 22/45 for 194 yards, not as good as I remember but not terrible yardage-wise.

SJSU's defense held 6-1 SDSU to 16. Frankly they probably would have won except for a disastrous interception and horse collar penalty on the return.

Neither SJSU nor Stanford was really able to stop Maier and co. Montana can totally win, but they'll need help from the Aggies and the crowd because I just don't think their defense is fielding enough talent to compete with the Aggie O.

To each their own. I like the grays when they're used sparingly; 1 game apiece for home and away sounds about right. I wouldn't want it to regularly replace the blue. But the important thing is that recruits supposedly love this kind of thing.

The white CA helmet is a very cool touch. Still looking for them to incorporate it into a home uniform somehow (whiteout game?)

Seems like the team has gone all-in on not repeating uniform combos. There are enough options left on the table that they can easily extend it for the whole season.

We haven't seen any combination of gold helmets and white shirts yet so I'm expecting to see that either this Saturday or @ EWU

Re: the crowd, there should bea fair number of players on this squad who have played in Autzen and at Wyoming's stadium. And Qualcomm had a big crowd for the Aggie game even though it's not as intimate as WaGriz. So it's not like it's a totally new experience

To be frank, I think/hope we're entering an era where 7 to 9 FCS wins will be par for the course each year. This is Year 2 of the rebuild after all, and it's not like our funding and recruiting will fall off after this season. So I'm not worried about the playoff impacts so much.

We're in a bit of a different situation from Montana, in that we have a ton of nearby FBS schools of comparable institutional profile and 3 of them are in an area with a high concentration of Davis grads (the Bay). If the interest picks up in the program it's a bit of a disservice to the California-based alumni to make the options an Aggie Stadium game, a SLO/Sac game, or none at all. So it would be understandable to get a pretty consistent alternating schedule of at least SJSU and Nevada on top of regular USD games and this new Cal series we have going. SDSU and Stanford maybe shouldn't be a regular thing, though I enjoyed those experiences.

that's what SDSU does, the athletic facility is next to the practice fields and football has just about a whole floor, but the gym, academic tutoring center, and some meeting rooms are for the whole department. And there's a lecture hall on the ground floor that has classes.

I imagine that kind of setup would be an easier sell for the Aggie stakeholders

I know we're probably a bit overrated and the real test is yet ahead, but just for a moment I'm enjoying sitting back and marveling all that Hawkins has done for the program. I know for many on the forum this is a return to form, but I've never been an Aggie fan in an era where UCD Football got an ounce of respect, so these past few weeks have been absolutely blowing my mind.

I did not expect a 2-year turnaround at all. Heck, I was skeptical about any turnaround even last year. But 100% hats off to Hawk, Blue, Hexter, May, the players, the boosters, Pint, everybody. This is crazy and I have to think based on the recruiting and money inflow that we'll get that this is just a warm-up act.
