I laughed at the guy who suggested the motivation for the beatdown by the Aggies stemmed from the Cal Poly head coach having a sexual experience with the UC Davis head coach's mother.

Tompkins 86 yard TD scramble makes the Sports Center Top 10

Wow, nice mention for Tompkins! Must say though, that was some piss poor tackling by Poly on that play.

Longest QB run in Aggie history?

This is the list of longest runs in UC Davis history. I am not familiar with the players from the 1940s and 1950s so I don't know their positions, but safe to say it was certainly one of if not the longest by a QB.

Jim Wilson...........................................94t................Southern Oregon.................................... 1953
Joe Trombetta......................................90t ...............WESTERN WASHINGTON............................2007
Shola Adeyemo.....................................90t ...............Saint Mary’s.......................................... 1990
Manusamoa Luuga................................90t ...............Southern Oregon....................................2016
Matt Massari .......................................89t ...............Abilene Christian ...................................2002
Kale Turner ..........................................88t ...............at Eastern Washington............................2007

Ags move up to at least #17.

Was that Manu Luuga run the one he did on his first snap as a freshman?

Nah Luuga was a senior in '16 I believe

Oh I should have looked at the right hand column lol

I think you're right, he was a year behind me and didn't redshirt IIRC, and I remember reading about him in grad school

I thought Poly did better w QB #2, but unsure how much of that had to do w us playing our 2s and 3s.

FWIW, the Cal Poly QB was a leader in BLM protests last summer which blocked the freeway, and demanded money from businesses.

Neither Hamler or Raquet are a long term solution for Poly in my honest opinion. That being said, I think one of their biggest problems on offense is the line. Our defense was in on both quarterbacks consistently. Tough to get any kind of pass game going when you're always on your heels. They allowed 7 sacks versus SUU as well... 16 over 2 games.

The kid's politics doesn't have anything to do with what happens on the field. You can focus on it if you want, but it seems unnecessary to bring it up.

Agreed. They need work on both lines, and reveals our depth. But tough to gauge how solid we are against a rebuilding program.

How many of these new defensive recruits were inked by Coach Tucker?

Poly’s line had some injuries last week.
This game reminds me of when we scored 50 against Portland State in the seventies. Portland State had a new coach, moving up from high school, Mouse Davis with the run and shoot offense. We blew them out at home, but then they got their program in gear started sending QBs to the pros, and won the next four times we played them if I recall correctly

Aggies move up to #6 in the Massey Ratings:

Bob Dunning adds that the Ags accomplished this coming off of finals week. And Hawk gave the young men some time off to study. :cheer:

Anyway to rewatch this game?

Should be available in big sky app or big sky website in a day or so. I missed from mid-second half to end as my wife and I were ringing bells at church while Poly was getting their bell rung - so I will look for it too, although not much of a game to watch other than to see a bunch of players.

The eternal question: are we that good or are they that bad?

I think our competitiveness with Weber probably indicates a combination of both. I think we are decently good and Cal Poly is pretty dang bad.

We have more healthy experienced depth than ever. I think it is unappreciated how lack of depth contributed to our 2019 disappointments. Guys got health and we added some great freshmen.
With the number of weapons we have on offense, the opposing defense really has to have their act together. They can’t have anyone who can’t cover and they can’t focus on just stopping the run or the pass. Cal Poly not sound enough to deal with us. I think a team has to be more physical than we are to beat us, and that’s getting harder.

replay is up now.

While Maier was great, he wasn't mobile and I can't recall him throwing the deep ball, so everything was happening in a 20 yd area, with modest yards after catch.

Rodriguez had the 35 yd TD toss that was really about a 50 yd throw, and so far has proven very mobile.

NC how do I get it?

Go to Big Sky TV and click on the previous tab. Then click on the game.

I hope the TV folks manage to actually do a professional job with the Ags' next home game. The awful color and constant error correction was - well - bush-league. I'm glad we're on real broadcast TV, I just wish we had put out a real broadcast TV signal.

yeah, the camera work was subpar but I’m glad the feed wasn’t behind a paywall. It’s easily six figures to get a real production setup, probably not in the CW31 budget when Pizza Guys is your main advertiser. Although I get a chuckle remembering when Aggie Stadium opened, the AD made a point of noting that it was “equipped for multiple national tv feeds”, though oddly turned out to not be equipped with a single working ref mic.

Talking about Pizza guys how do we get our free pizza, lol?

probably with a ticket stub :roll:. But free might be paying too much at Pizza Guys.

Show this to get your free small pizza...

We made Sportcenter top 10 at #7.

Nice catch!
