Yeah but they look at the FCS rankings, both informally when determining that mid season top 10 but also formally as one of the criteria the night before selection sunday
Not only do we have the Bobcats in Bozeman, but in mid-November as well...and assuming we get out of that game injury free, we've got an all-in Sac State team to come home to. We are in the weeds here boys and girls, only gets tougher after Northern Arizona in my opinion.
agreed they haven't really played any great competition and are already in a subpar conference plus have no ranked teams left to play if I'm not mistaken
When you draw 26K to every home game, you don't have to play an FBS game (or two, like some FCS teams do) and instead can make your money scheduling an extra home game in the non-conference.
I agree 100%. NAU is a solid, solid football team and will likely end up 7-5 or even 8-3 when the dust settles. Their trip to Pocatello will be one to keep an eye on though. From what I can tell, ISU might be better than Idaho this season.
Scott Nixon started for Davis against NAU.
He is a 6’2” receiver. He transferred from Sac City College
I think I heard on the broadcast that he is the best WR blocker.
In high school he was the Sac Bee Player of the Year for the 2022 season https://www.sacbee.com/news/article270454282.html
“The Delta League MVP and a two-time Bee All-Metro player, Nixon accumulated 2,138 total yards and 27 touchdowns in 12 games. He had 1,280 yards receiving and 17 touchdowns, and he stepped into the running back role as if he was born for it, playing the position for the first time out of injury necessity. Nixon rushed for 858 yards and 10 touchdowns during an 8-4 season”
If I recall, #14 had a nice play on our sideline vs. NAU, right? Nice to see a receiver listed above 6' out there, but the sub-6' dudes have been absolutely dynamite this season
On the Sac Town Sports show, Plough reiterates "five All-Americans out" but says all to season ending injuries. His list of All-Americans was previously Rex Connors, Porter Connors, Williams, Nava, and D3 All-American, Richardson. As far as I know that's the first statement that Richardson and Nava.are out for the season.
Plough's Sactown Sports 1140 interviews with Carmichael Dave/Jason Ross are so good for the program. He's really good on that show....always a good, natural interview.
"Hawaii is good again?" It depends on how you define "good." They have yet to beat a team with a winning record and four of their five wins were at home. In the Mountain West, they will likely wind up in the middle of the pack and might get a bowl game.
Montana always overrated now matter how good they are.
Amen to that. I remember when the Ags beat Montana in Missoula last year - nobody in Montana really gave the Ags a chance. Was cool to witness the victory there.
Montana State is decidedly better than Montana. Even with home field advantage at WaGriz I don’t see Montana wining the brawl.
