This is one of the greatest victories in Aggie football history. Total team effort. The defense was incredible and the offense executed when they needed to in a very difficult place to play. Special teams did their jobs too and our FG kicker was perfect! Such a sweet win!
What a great win. Now I believe in this team. They wanted it tonight. Defense was really strong and the O-line made holes and gave Hastings time to throw. Win or lose at Montana St., we are finally playing with the big boys and things are looking up for the program.
Last time Montana lost by more than 7 points at home was...
2018 when we cooked them 49-21.
Unless I missed something, before that you have to go back to 2012 when they lost to Montana St by 9.
EDIT: Arbitrary margin of victory but the last time before 2018 they lost at home by 14+ points was in 2005 to Cal Poly. And again, unless I missed something, but besides the two losses to UCD, the last time Montana lost by 16+ points at home was in 1990 to Idaho.
Plough talks a lot about how Sochor taught him to go find joy. Well, Plough and his team found JOY tonight for sure and they brought a lot of joy to us Aggie fans as well!
It seems we're getting stronger as the season progresses, players returning from injuries - Cloyd?, Simpson, others. It sounds like the home crowd was worth at least 7 points, maybe 10 tonight. Simpson, Dobbins, Fisher (4.6 YPC), Cloyd 2 sacks.
Refs didn't sound helpful.
Sac imploding. Next week huge. Signature win tonight.
I would think we'd stay at 4 just because of the reputation South Dakota St has but who knows. We were 75 points behind them last week in the Stats poll and I would guess that margin will be closer next week.
I don't think there's anything to that. Also, wasn't coach Biggs very sick during some of Hawkins' time? And Biggs coached Plough, so might explain the closeness.
26,012 was the official attendance tonight and man were they ever LOUD! The Aggies need that kind of support...well, at least, 14,000+ who are willing to be LOUD!
