Very predictable. 3rd and 10 to go, we are either running it off tackle or throwing it in the flat. Two ridiculous plays at 3rd and 10. I guess we somehow think they will be surprised or we have given up getting a first down. Very depressing loss. Just like Eastern Washington, we could have won this one. With two losses in conference, even if we win the rest, I don't see how we get into the playoffs. Seems like the season is over.

Cal Poly was terrible. We should have scored 60 points. Makes no sense that more of our second stringers did not get into the game. At a minimum why not have another QB in for the last 5 minutes. A lot of dropped passes today makes me nervous for the rest of the season. Maybe that is why they only pass to Tomkins, CJ Hutton & Gale. Maybe they are the only ones that are very reliable.

This one hurts. We just can't beat these guys. This is the first time I felt we were better though if that is any consolation. Really awful turnovers. Inconsistent play. Every year for the last 3 years or so, I come into the season really excited thinking this is the year we have a breakout stellar season. But we are not looking too good.

Larison is a stud. I had a feeling he could be as good or even better than Gilliam. Not sure what happened to all of our wide receivers. Crump no catches. Babb never any catches. It is all tight end and CJ Hutton for short passes. And for some reason Tompkins has become a main receiver. I love the guy but don't we have some talented wide receivers? Are they all sidelined because we have decided no pass will be longer than 10 yards?

Well Harper threw an awful interception last game and is likely playing Oregon St 3rd stringers tonight. But someone needs to step up at QB who can do the short 5 yard passes that Hastings does well but also a deep threat to spread out the better defenses.

2 interceptions to a weak team like this, he is going to struggle later in the season. I had hoped someone would step up in camp as the new starter.

Fumble and interception. And a couple bad missed passes. Hoped for better. The way the offensive line and defense is working we should be up 14-0 by now

Two good linebacker commits. Both good size. A few wins out of the gate this season and the recruits will rush to hop on the train.

I thought this was it. I can't believe they are not keeping him.

Good HS resume, but a 2nd stringer on a Cal team with 3 wins and a team that we beat, how much can he help us? Unless the prior coach’s system was just awful and this kid was not used in the best way.

If that commit was a year ago when he was a junior then maybe it was just a verbal commit and he could have changed his mind and committed to Davis when the hard commit deadlines rolled around. Maybe too many guards for us, if that is possible?? I know we love to play small.

Why couldn't we land Ryan Beasley? With his teammate and brother here, seems like he would have been interested. Verbal commits shows he only received one offer from USF and took it.

This report seems to show that Cal Poly somehow picked up a lot of the top 50 so cal recruits. I wonder what the draw was? Lots of full scholarships to offer as the team fell apart and has a lot of openings or a better opportunity to start as a freshman? They show QB David Rasor as committing to Cal Poly.

What about all the noise Jackson made about his mission to return the HBCU teams to former greatness. All the recruits he sold on that plan. Now he leaves all those 4 and 5 star recruits on their own while he moves to the DI stage he talked them out of. Seems a little hypocritical.

Wow, I don’t know how some of these teams can replenish their roster when 10-15 or more players leave through the transfer portal.

Well I’m proud of these guys. They played hard and didn’t give it away. While not the result we want, we did make a big jump forward and we’re competitive against the top FCS teams. We were missing a consistent long pass threat that would have opened the field more for the rest of our game. Hats off to Sac St and I hope they do the Big Sky proud in the playoffs. And if we get lucky and get in, then we have another chance.

I was encouraged that we recruited some bigger players as we always seemed to play a small lineup. But we appear to historically change our lineup to best match up to the team we play instead of forcing other teams to bend to our play. This team looks to have promise, but others have too. I hope I don’t end up with another year frustrated.

Nice win. Good to see the team really excited and energized. Glad so many backups got to play. I wish the backup QB's got to play more. Dixon didn't quite have the speed on his throws as I expected based on the announcer hype. Harper may have thrown harder. I was really hoping one or both of those guys would be able to cruise down and score. Maybe they'll get more playing time next week.

We can still run the table and end up 6-2 in league and make the playoffs. The others at the top are still slated to play each other and will beat each other up a bit. Idaho and Sac won’t be walkovers but I don’t expect they are as strong as Weber or Montana St.

I am not that down on the defense. They definitely weren’t ready for a mobile QB and they struggle with WR with great speed. I am not that concerned about UG’s graduation. Larison is tough, fast and can catch the ball in the flat. If Perryman had stuck around we didn’t lose Parks to injury maybe things would be different. We seem like we are right there. Our line on both sides of the ball are big so we finally have a chance to compete.

Hawk has great enthusiasm and a positive competitive outlook which is infectious. I have doubts he would demote Cody as it seems he stuck by him at Boise until it cost him his job. Maybe the QB recruit from Corona Del Mar will step up for us next year.

The short 5 yard passes aren’t bad except when that is all you do. Hardly any passes to our wide receivers. Most 20 yard plus passes are short of the receiver. We used to recruit great wide receivers because of our offensive scheme. Who will want to come play for us now?

How does Hastings throw an interception in the flat around the 20 yard line?

Why are we giving the ball to little Perez on 4th and 1?

Our defense didn’t show up to this game.

Hawk has improved the program and every year our hopes are up but we can’t seem to bust through while other teams have improved more on a shorter amount of time. Not sure what it’s going to take or who to blame. Is it the QB, the OC or the head coach?

Whatever it is, I do miss the excitement of Shredville.

I just don’t see us winning a lot of games with Hastings. Lots of completions today but too many bad passes in huge situations. Easy TD pass to wide open Gilliam and a couple other deep balls were short. Very frustrating loss just like SD State game. I think it’s great that we are much more competitive with the top teams than before but frustrating because we could have easily won them.
