Some observations about players injured, absence due to injury, or return from the NC game.

Guys who might have been injured against N. Colorado:
Peter Povey. What did Povey’s injury appear to be? He left the field during an injury break on the broadcast, but perhaps the radio broadcast mentioned how he got off the field?
Chaz Davis might have injured his arm, he left after getting hit making a catch and didn’t see any more action.

Guys who might have missed the game with a recent injury:
Chubba didn’t start had no stats but was listed as appearing
Mouisset didn’t play, Hawkins said Calvin was out if I heard him right

Guys returning from injury:
Ambagtsheer played for the first time this year
Buchanan is back.

There are.a other guys we have lost along the way.

The milk cans were gone by the 80s, if I recall correctly.

And Bossie Cow Cow (do they still do that) and Song-girls with denim skirts (they need to bring those back).

so was I ….ha ha

Hoping O’keefe gets back at it soon. And TT wasn’t dressed at the last game, was in street clothes on the sideline.

What did Povey’s injury appear to be?

Re-watching the video, he got sort of a cheap shot blind side away from the ball when the play was virtually over. He got hit in the side and went down awkwardly on his other (right) side. If I were to guess it was some sort of a shoulder injury - maybe right. It certainly did not look to be a lower leg injury. Banks then took over as center. I noticed they got a lot of O-linemen in the game which is good for experience. My guess is that Pettick will still be out - last injury appeared to be a re-injury of initial one. A couple of O-lineman might have had quite a few practice snaps this week.

I saw Chubba in the game midway third quarter. Thorpe was still out too.

TT played at at Northern Colorado. We’ve not seen Jaylin White or Noa Masui since Cal game, they’re both in the depth chart, as is Tattersall who was said here to be out for the season,

Let's go Ags! Beat the Mustangs!

Well, maybe i got my games mixed up. I remember seeing him in street clothes. Might have been the game before.

Curiously, despite our concerns on here about the reliance on the run game and short passes, UCD is now 16th in the nation in yards per play (slightly ahead of Sac, NDSU, and Jackson State for example).

Aggies are actually creeping up there in a lot of stats, especially offensive and penalty related stats, and you can start to see why the ratings like Massey and Sagarin think this is a top 25 team based on performance vs the schedule

Edit for more examples:
Total Offense - #11
Fewest Penalties Per Game - #3
Passing Offense - #13
Completion Percentage - #9
Rushing Offense - #28
Yards/Rush - #12
Turnover Margin - #3

most of these categories are fluff. You want to look at yards/rush, yards/pass, yards/play. Same with defense. All improved this year

Sagarin ratings are pure points, no stats. UCD rated highly due to game scores and our opponents scores against their opponents, But the stats support the ranking. They’ve played good teams close and lost and they’ve played bad teams and run up big margins. What we haven’t seen yet is beating a good team.

Total Offense:
Sac: #3
UCD: #11

Team Passing Efficiency:
UCD: #29

Red Zone Offense:
Sac: #20
UCD: #25

Passing Yds per Completion
Sac: #79
UCD: #99

Let me know when you get espn+ working.

It's working for me

Poly receivers already at 2 drops

Thanks! I just had to refresh espn+.

Lol what a run by UG34

Aggies up 7-0

Not a bad opening drive for UCD. One play, 7 points.

might get defense tired with short drives :-)

Excellent defense!

Aggies averaging 59 yards a play on offense.

not sure you can take an average with one point :-)

Man, Poly's offense is... Woof

Hutton takes it around the edge... AND IN!

Ags up 14-0

Great block by Gilliam to help Hutton get in.

Poly has subbed in their running QB

Aaaaand poly throws another INT

Good to see TT in there!

UG34 takes the direct snap and it's a TOUCHDOWN!

Aggies 21-0
