I guess Plough can’t hear me.

EWU / Suck 7-7 Q1

PSU 42-38 over Idaho State

EWU - Sac State 14-14
Weber State 17-14"over N CO in Q3, 0-6 N CO giving them a battle.

UNC up 21-17

Eastern Washington looks like they're going to beat Sac State in Sacramento. Ags better be ready next week.

35-28 EWU, final. Best has a body guard. Maybe a good idea over there in a night game.

Big Sky sure looks like Montana St and then everyone else, this year.

What seed is required to get a bye first round?

The top 8 seeds get a bye.

I don't want to start talking about playoffs. 1 week at a time. But man, nice to be 6-1.

For sure. Would be really nice to get to 8-1 because I would think 8-4 including a win over Idaho (hopefully they finish strong) would be enough. But I really don't want to be sitting at 7-4 needing a win against Sac to get in. Not to say that Sac is unbeatable or anything like that. I'd just prefer to not have that essentially be a play-in game for us for the playoffs.

Plus 8-1 puts us in position for a potential bye if results break right and we do well the last 3 games.

But yeah, it feels great to pound Poly but we're one week removed from needing a 95 yard drive and a last play TD just to beat a team that's now 1-5.

9-3 or 10-2 sounds better, but EWU first, then a perfectly timed bye.

Definitely. 10-2 would almost certainly get us a bye since it would mean beating two of Mont, Mont St and Sac. 9-3 should get us a first round home game at the very least.

If Sac State, loses to any other team than Montana State ( losing there), I'd be shocked if they make it in.

Idaho could be our competition. Like Sac, their schedule gets easier at the end. They are better than their record.

Final scores week 7:

Montana State 38 Idaho 7
EWU 35 Sac State 28
Northern Colorado 21 Weber State 17
Portland State 42 Idaho State 38
Montana 31 Northern Arizona 20
Aggies 56 Cal Poly 10

Idaho has been plagued with QB injuries. Lost QB3 last hight. PSU showed they deserve respect. And NAU is an up and coming team. Weber is a head scratcher. I was viewing them as a possible dark horse in the conference. SS needs leadership. One poster on their site is wondering how long will TT
last at Stanford. Maybe he’ll come back to SS. SCHADENFREUDE?

Weber had 5 turnovers, 4 fumbles!

Dr. Mike: I know. That’s what’s so perplexing. After the Montana win I thought Coach Mental had their
guys rolling. But it’s college football as indicated by this week’s results. Coach Plough will have the boys focused and prepared. They’ll give it their best in Cheney.
On a side note (sorry for mixing threads) Dr. Mike’s Schredville thread: Coach Plough TM “Schredville”
and get the merchandise out to us common folk. It’s the 12thMan that makes the difference. Watching the game online last night it looks like the fans showed up! GoAgs!

we had two turnovers last night - both on trick plays (although the pass from Lan would have likely been a TD had it not been picked), and I don’t remember an offensive penalty into somewhere in the 2nd half. We were laser focused on offense - something that needs to carry forward

I wish they had run that swinging gate play.

Big Sky Current Standings:

Big Sky Schedule for Week 8:

Idaho State at Northern Arizona - 12 noon
Montana State at Portland State - 1 pm
Cal Poly at Idaho - 1 pm
Aggies at EWU - 4 pm
Weber State at Sacramento State - 6 pm

Weird seeing Sac at the bottom. They are for sure better than that. 2 FCS games to start is hard.

Why has Sac State been ranked so high? Reputation?

I like seeing Sac State in last place.

Poly 14 Idaho 3 at half

Poly moving the ball and Idaho looking awful quite frankly - no offense. I do think Idaho’s first 2 running backs are out.

Montana St 35-0 at half over PSU. Wow

Yardage? How about 417-91
