They had the first weekly press conference today according to the media center. Don’t they usually post those?

It'll be interesting to see how Pinnick does on Saturday against a tough defense for his first college start, but it's encouraging that Plough mentioned he went like 14/16 in the last scrimmage and has wheels on top of it. We haven't had a truly mobile QB in what feels like forever. Rodrigues had some mobility I suppose, but really didn't have a ton of playtime.

At least this should be an easier start than Randy Wright had at Cal. At the lunch Plough basically said what Dr. Mike wrote above. And listening to him, one thing I’m confident on, we won’t get out coached. Who’s going to control the clock Saturday?

Who is PJ? He is injured, broken collarbone. Main and Carillo not recovered from surgery.

I checked the Media Center to see if they have put up Game Notes, but they aren’t posted.
They misspelled the word denotes as donates

Rodrigues was a little on the thin side to be running, 6’0 170lbs.

Who is PJ? He is injured, broken collarbone. — Riveraggie

Don't know who PJ is......Didn't someone on here say David Rasor is out for the season?
We have an AJ, JJ, TY (x2)....

he mentioned a couple guys that were injured at the scrimmage and were out but i didn't get names (probably were nicknames that I'm not familiar with).

I'll have to skip the viewing party on Saturday -> youth soccer kicks off saturday and the last (or 4) grandkid games starts at 4:00. I'll listen and then catch more of the game on TV while a bunch of them probably end up in our pool.

It looks like Coach Plough lost weight.

i listened to the posted press conference video twice, Plough said “PJ” was injured, one time he said a broken collarbone. He also mentioned Carrillo and Main haven’t recovered completely and won’t play until later in season.
The mystery is who he meant by PJ.
Main being out ends the all five starters on the o-line are back analysis.
David Porotesano is featured in this promotional image is a likely starter.

Rodrigues was really fast, but yah, don’t really want you QB running all the time and being subjected to punishment.

The threat alone. The 5 yard or 7 yard out of bounds rush, untouched, is perfect and often moves the chains.

Sometimes a QB having the ability to extend one or two drives with his feet is all it takes to win a game. With that said, Tom Brady won quite a few games as a statue......

Scott Marsh seems to have a history of huge predictions. Without taking one snap, he believes our redshirt freshman QB will go down as one of our best QBs in program history. We'll see.

Mercer spring game, short. They don't look like NDSU.

Looks like they're running a nice pass/run option look - should be a tough test for Davis on both sides of the ball - and essentially a home game on the road, so there's all that noise...just the same, let's keep our prime time ESPN win streak going. Shooting for two straight.

Somebody at our alumni zoom asked about Carrillo -> sounds like they think he could be back late, be able to play 4 games (like the TE last year) and then request a medical redshirt. They are concerned that could be turned down, thus burning the year. Sounds like something the compliance folk have to work out late in the year.

one is not a streak

Sure it is, let's go.

Audible, wisdom teeth surgery still killing me….and Anthony Soto just confirmed he can join tomorrow night. Gonna be a late release but worth it.

Q: Anthony’s experience coaching in the Fargo Dome

Do you know the Aggie team hotel in Montgomery? (Maybe it’s top secret )

Sorry about the wisdom teeth.

Are the Aggies favored to beat Mercer? I can't find any odds or predictions. I know the Bears are ranked 11 in the FCS Coaches Poll.

FCS lines usually come out the morning of the game

Sam Herder picking the Ags

The author loves Ty Richardson, mentions him every time he talks about Davis.
Davis had lots of guys on defense that are interesting, but only Richardson and Connors made his list.
Rutchena, Psyk, and Porter Connors honorable mention.

The new ESPN app dropped today. Reminder to update your smartphone and smart TV apps and sign back in if necessary so you’re not jammed up as the game is starting. The new apps have some nice features like putting on up to 4 games on split screen and syncing live stats and tv control to your phone.

The Mercer game is on the ESPN main cable channel. You will need a cable subscription, or if you don’t have cable, you can buy the “ESPN Unlimited” package which includes the cable channels and the ESPN+ streaming content for $29.99.

Most of the future games are ESPN+ streaming games, which is now rebranded as “ESPN Select” for $11.99. Same as past seasons, if you already have cable or don’t care about the main channel, this is the package for you to add the streaming-only games.

As a streaming only customer, upgrading was easy. I had disney+ hulu, and I just changed my subscription to a new bundle of ESPN unlimited in the Disney+ app. Cost me 35.99 a month, they prorated the service until my billing date. The ESPN app looks different after upgrade. I had to watch a little Montana women’s soccer to be sure I hadn’t lost ESPN+.

Great info, thanks for that.
