Perez has two seasons where he played in three or four games, the second of those, last year was due to injury. So he has a redshirt year and a year he could petition for, might be here for two more years.
I honestly don't think we have a true #2 based on the Poly/NoCo aftershocks. I think it'll be a fierce competition for the 2025 job - and who knows if a JC or FBS transfer will give Plough a call.
Hastings run an average of 0 times a game, so to me Mellott is Michael Vick.
Watching him torch Sac State a few times last week was pretty scary. A mobile QB can really stretch the defense.
Also, I hear tickets are sold out for visiting fans.
jk haha....Aggie Stadium is a great place to watch a game...way too nice for visiting teams though.
We have a choice between a senior who has hardly played, two 3 star 2024 recruits or 4! projected 3 star star 2025 recruits. They would be foolish not to have a competition.
To my eye Fisher is on a different level than Perez. Gotta think its Harper as QB1 next year based on the program history of rewarding seniority and commitment to the program. Harper should have a complete grasp of the playbook and total confidence in what to do with the ball after so many years in the program. Things should be interesting though as Rasor and Pinnick both got snaps vs. UNC. Wrighster looks more physically gifted than all of them.
The Cats have a very impressive, articulate head coach. He seems to know the Aggies like the back of his hand. I certainly don't think we're going to out coach him; this game is going to be decided mano-a-mano on the field by the players.
Great stuff @ 6:30. Love an intelligent football team. Definitely has always been a major strength of this program....nowadays, we are blessed with the physical gifts as well which makes it even more fun as a fan- as the W's are coming consistently at the D1 level.
Like I said somewhere on here earlier, lots of progress as a program since joining the Big Sky in 2012, and in a relatively short amount of time since the 2017 season.
I think it was just a case of playing together. It’s basically an all new OL with a couple transfers in there. Takes awhile for a group to mesh, especially with practice restrictions in this era. They were the unsung heroes on Saturday. They’ve gotten better and better with each game, particularly since Big Sky play started. Having Ian Simpson back has helped a lot - he’s a VERY physical presence
I watched someone on a little fishing boat with a motor sailing over putah creek this week and was very suprised… it was metal though so no burning of that boat..
They could have started the season with a o line made up entirely of players who had started a game last year, but then Povey who was on the camp roster didn’t return at center.
Two transfers then earned starting roles at guard and a redshirt freshman who saw no action last year took over at center. The left guard, a transfer from Stony Brook,, had played tackle there after a year as a tight end, so new to playing guard. So a learning curve
The line’s performance seems to have picked up coincident with David Main starting the last few games at right guard.
