QB?

Dunaway (sp?). Sac st up 38 34 with seconds left.

Wow, Sac pulls it out. Cinderella hasn't lost her shoes.

Great throw by Alexander but major hold (around neck) on Aggie rusher.

Babb is having a heck of a day...

3rd TD for Babb! PSU defenders turn way late, didn't play the ball or man?

GREAT play call to strike quickly after the big play.

GREAT Maier pass on a broken play (?) to set it up.

GREAT hole by the I Line on the Gilliam run.

Go Ags!

Need to score again.

Vikings score again. 31-28 Ags with 8:33 to go. We need to score.

But Ags come back, 38-28 7 minutes to go

PTP by Babb, hurdling defenders and using a stiff-arming the ground to stay up, setting up Vaughn's TD.

Babb 10 catches, 165 yds, 3 TDs.

Gilliam 242 yards rushing, 29 attempts, 2 TDs.

Eaton 8 tackles, 2 Sacks.

45-28 Ags, wow, we racked up points while I was reviewing stats!

Babb and Gilliam absolute studs.

OK, can someone tell me how we just scored?

Two solid runs by Gilliam.

I think the Aggies would've been happy to kneel out the game after his first run, but Portland took a timeout, so they ran one more play and he scored on it.

Circa 650 yards of offense.

Nice "W" Now, let's do this Don's!

Most complete game of the year. Go Ags

45-28 Aggies final. Sweet win for this team!

Ags: 649 yards of offense

Jake: 27-38 for 383 yds 4 TD's and 1 INT
Babb II: 10 receptions for 183 yds and 3 TD's
Vaughn: 5 receptions for 121 and 1 TD
Gilliam: 29 carries for 242 yards and 2 TD's...including a 75 yd TD run

And while you're reading...the Aggie Men's Soccer Team beat Fullerton today 2-0 to advance to the Big West Tournament Title Game.

That was a fun game to watch. PSU announcers were actually pretty good, even perspective and adulation for good plays in both sides.

Major facepalm for me .. I am in Portland on vacation, even followed the game on my phone. When it was over I realized I was only a couple miles away! Would've been great to see a good win away out of state.

Great win! Did it seem like the defense tweaked anything during bye week?

Though giving up 28 points and a fair amount of yards, I think the defense did a good job of containing things. Sacked AleXander 4 times and put a lot of pressure on him. He is Tarkenton-like and hard to contain. Mostly shut down their run game.

They complimented our deep defense and also Jamison and Eaton.

Montana State 45-14
Sac St 38-34 over NAU
NDSU 57-21
Weber State 30-27 over ND

Dartmouth (8-0) 27-10 over Princeton (7-1) (Kevin Daft OC)

College of Idaho wins 38-27, now 9-0 (Mike Moroski HC)

UW 19-7

[Edit, thanks NCagalum.]

Sac Stare recovered on-side kick and scored touchdown. Long-odds but poor job by Northern Arizona-they had the game won.

sac state over NAU. Montana beat Idaho.

Babb's TDs and yards in a game have to challenge some team records.

Edit: Babb's 3 TDs at least is a freshman record.

Gilliam's 242 yards rushing is the 5th most yards in a game in Aggie history.

Defensively, Fr LB Nick Eaton had a monster game: 8 tackles, 2 TFL, 2 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. Also, Sr Brandon Jamison had 5 tackles, 2 TFL and 2 sacks and Fr Josiah Suani had 4 tackles and 2 TFL.

I think I’m thawed out from the game. What a weird setting for college football. Bleachers on one side,home team opposite with a soccer field behind them, rinky-dink scoreboard (‘Hillsboro Rec Department’) with no video, and piped in music (no band, few students) every non-play second. Environment ripe for a letdown.

So good outing. Defense shut down their running game,controlled the QB scrambling for the most part, and held QB to 50% passing. They benefited from couple bad non-call (hold on Eaton on a long jump ball catch before TD ,and intentional grounding that would have stopped TD drive) else it wouldn’t have been close in second half. Offense was crisp beside a couple dropped big gain passes.

Can we keep it rolling? Two big challenges await. 7-5 would be huge (and leave us rueing the North Dakota game)

Woke up to gray wet weather. Shocking! First stop of the day -> fisherman’s superstore for warmer jackets!
