Dixie St (0-7) down to host Delaware 17-10. I’m rooting for those guys. Brutal schedule. This is one of their better chances for a win

there are a bunch of good punters in this league, but Whalen does thinks that don’t always jump off the stat sheet, negating the Weber stud returner. He’s been great

i agree; once the Big 12 filled the OU/Texas loss with the AAC (and BYU) schools, the MWC looks to be stable. I can’t see them adding to their existing 12 teams.

The OL did okay last game with the two backup OT. If you take away the sack yards (-15) and the fake punt (+36), we ran for 190 yards at a 4.5 yard/carry clip. 3 sacks with a 'new' QB.

I swear that guy played 8 years at Poly (along with Asa Jackson)! He was the best opponent I saw at Aggie Stadium, Vernon Adams and Josh Johnson close behind.

Weber is really nice on the home side, especially when you add in the views. Visiting side has a high school look. UNC and SUU both are lacking

I believe we parked in genetics parking lot; shuttle was easy and they had a bunch lined up
After the game.

last time we played we parked a bit away from stadium but there was a game shuttle. You might look into the shuttle; probably a link on their page. Check here:

If I recall we had a pregame at the baseball field, and we parked right near there. Shuttle might pick up at baseball

I forgot to add to my list of mistakes two potential pick six drops. One in the first quarter that would have put us up 7-0, the other on their ‘Philly Special’ late 3rd that would have put them in a big hole. Both were there for the taking. Little things that keep the other team in the game

One positive was the ‘return’ of Castles. He’d been a little quiet lately, probably getting attention from the defense. We ran a couple nicely designed passes to him, one on a type of naked bootleg, that picked up big yards. Like to see similar plays to Harrell instead of focusing on passes to the sideline with him.

What nags at me about this game, and the last couple, add the little mistakes that keep us from developing momentum. Last night, lots of penalties, a couple bad ones that kept their drives alive. Several missed tackles that changed a 4th and long, into a first down or first and short. Fielding a punt on the one yard line, instead of taking the touchback - that one hurt because the running game was starting to wear them down and it looked like another scoring drive would seal the deal.

We really need to tighten that up. Not sure if our tackles will be back soon, but we could use them in pass protection. Hastings was very accurate, and didn’t make bad choices (although he gets a lot of balls batted down). I think 2-1 is the requirement and that’s not gonna be easy

During the broadcast they mentioned that Dixon was relaying plays even though he wasn’t suited. I think travel restrictions have eased

did they mention we were ranked #10?

I believe at least 2 OL were out this week which may have contributed to the lack of consistency. Defense was okay, but we can’t get any pressure on QB. We had a couple drives where they were 3rd and long, and defense made errors (not tackling QB, missed tackle on WR) that left them with short 4th downs that were converted. They scored a TD after the first, I think FG after second. Those are big plays.

Fake punt was enormous. So was failed onside kick.

Good time to have a bye. Regroup, get healthy and ready for the home stretch. I expect Hastings to start next game. Not sure how well he can get the ball down the field, especially in the edges. Hard to drive 80 yards when we don’t pass more than 5 yards or so.

San Jose State plays UNLV tonight at 8:00. Welcome to the glamour of Mountain West football.

.I would imagine an Ivy pension is as generous as UC and it would be (like UC) driven by years of service.

Daft is a Sochor guy - he might be liking no spring ball, just like his mentor. Teevens is 65 and maybe getting close to retirement - Daft would be a logical successor.

thanks, that makes sense

expensive; glad I booked back in March. Rates have really shot up. We really like Avila Beach. Neat community. Promenade area was rebuilt after a diesel spill something like 30 years ago, so it’s very pristine while maintains an old seaside feel

i doubt it but they have the best chance
