Plough said their defense is good (Montana only put up 24), especially their 3rd down defense. I didn't ask if that's because their man-to-man makes it really hard to pick up short passes, or if their 1st/2nd down defense puts teams in 3rd and longs. should be interesting.
no special team errors, no turnovers, take care of THIS game.
What I’d like to see is that Davis holds Northern Colorado to less than their average conference game points while scoring more than their average points. That ignores the fact that Davis has an above average defense while Northern Colorado has an average defense in terms of point scored against, so should be achievable. Montana just shut out N.C. Davis has a better defense than Montana, by six points a game in conference play. Davis is averaging 39.8 in conference games and Northern Colorado is averaging 11.3.
Semaj Verner has missed the last two games. I was surprised to see him listed as one of the top graded corners in FCS. He is a high level athlete who up to this year hadn’t had the opportunity to really show it at Boise or here. Anyone know his status?
Bob Dunning today: "Meanwhile, UC Davis has unleashed a full-on media campaign to let the rest of the college football world know that Lan Larison is a more than worthy candidate to earn the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision.
"Larison, the only Idahoan on the Aggie roster, was the Big Sky Conference's Offensive Player of the Year last fall despite missing three games with an injury.
"But the Walter Payton is a national award, something no Aggie has ever won. This, however, may be the year..."
To my, admittedly uneducated eye, the Ags are continually getting better with each game. Sure, they aren't perfect, but they are definitely finding themselves on the field. We'll learn a lot about them this game.
My daughter's soccer game got cancelled so we made the last minute decision to go to the game. So if they play well, I'm taking full credit. But if they lay an egg, I'll take the blame too.
We're lucky, there are a couple of great highlight guys on YouTube who go out of their way to show FCS games. It's good football and should be showcased!
