I was hoping that we would have a turnover free game, but all-in-all this was a surprisingly good showing by the Aggies. We haven't seen the Ags truly have a 2nd half to be proud of all season, but after letting PSU get back into the game in the 3rd the offense and defense both settled in and did what they needed to do to win. Looked like a totally different red zone offense and showed on the scoreboard. Larison is a monster. What a boon to the program.
I am confident he will be drafted. He is a total athlete with a build the nfl will like. As good as he was, Gilliam suffered from being on the small size. I think Larison is a bit faster too. There are quite a few former FCS players in the NFL. If you are good, they will find you. The starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears last I knew is a former D2 player.
I hope you're right. I know that Jimmy Garoppolo, Cooper Kupp and even way back to Walter Payton and Jerry Rice were FCS, but it takes not only exceptional talent but a willingness on the part of NFL scouts to look at you. The knock is often that they have not played against high caliber opposition. In the case of the PSU kicker, his stats tell the story and the opposition is not a factor.
This was our most complete game of the year. So great to see Winston Williams catch that pass and rumble for big yards. Huge play!
Tough seeing Rex Connors on a scooter with a boot on his left leg and Chubba on crutches with a boot on his right leg. That’s 2 huge loses for us. Lots of credit to those players that stepped up for them.
Starters. What is wrong with this list, copied from the box score? There are only four offensive linemen is one clue, and we don’t start 12 guys on defense. Another is that only one guy on the team wears #70 and he is not Luke. Same error 9 games in a row, and this error propagates into player’s bios and team statistics. It is not just that Eli Simonson isn’t credited with starting he isn’t credited with playing at all.

Well, we finally started scoring in the second half and from the red zone. Maybe our best game of the season. Very proud of the fellas and coaches for responding with a great game plan. Where has Winston Wilson been? I had to look him up on the program after that huge play.
I left in the closing seconds. Did the PSU coach shake Hawkins hand?
Hawkins and Barnum had what seemed to be a cordial exchange after the game. Winston Williams has reportedly been on a multi year recovery from an unreported injury. He was one of the top Aggie recruits in his class.
