Nice win. Pinnick seemed more comfortable. Tough call between Fisher and Vargas over who should get more touches. Fisher did great but Vargas runs hard. Loves Mitchel Dixon’s toughness!
Hope we can still play better. Not sure we are going to knock off NDSU, SDSU or Montana St with this play and porous defense.
SUU dropped 549 yards on us, 233 on the ground, 316 through the air. Ouch. We need to do better against the better teams going down the stretch. I was calling for Vargas to get more touches, and Dr. Mike reminded me Fisher was taking it to the house. Fun watching both of them. Impressed watching Cayden blocking downfield as Fish was getting a big gain. Onward to Weber.
I was flipping around. We were driving for a 3rd (?) score, and after CP had a great run, he appeared to get happy feet, and our drive stalled. Maybe our WRs were covered, or the pocket broke down?
CP started impressively strong (7-7), then became a .500 passers-by. Solid win.
Pinnick is definitely still developing as a passer especially on deeper routes. There were a handful of passes he just missed the open guy down field. I was glad we got to see some of his athleticism again though. It disappeared the last couple of games. Holy moly the combo of Fisher and Vargas was dynamite. They could be a deadly combo in conference play.
The defense left a lot to be desired. Too many open receivers even if they are just the check down guy. Still have to cover them. And too many arm tackle attempts especially on their RBs. Gotta wrap guys up! Way too many yards after contact.
Still great to get a win and drop a 50 burger on a team that has historically given us some trouble.
The game looked like it was going to be a loss based on the ease with which they were rushing. It seemed more likely they would continue to get 10 yards a rush than Davis would continue to break big plays. Idaho, Sac State, and Montana all had impressive run games yesterday.
