  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    I heard Petrino is only dressing 4 linemen for tonight’s game.

    The other guys are on their own.

    That NAU score is a bit stunning. I thought ISU looked solid last spring. Looks like USD kind of lucked out vs the transitioning St Thomas. Scored on a fumble recovery to tie after being behind 24-17.
  • Week 5: Idaho @ UC Davis
    In spring we ran the ball well (200 yards) especially for the first game, and Hunter was lights out. I think their COVID issues were primarily in the OL, so I’m hoping we can replicate that (although Hawk says their DL is amongst the better ones we’ll face). Like always, don’t give up any big plays and minimize mistakes (especially turnovers) on offense

    that's sad to hear. haven't been in there in awhile, but thought the food was pretty decent. its going to be interesting how the restuarants will cope will all the students coming back, after working with skeleton crews for such a long time. we tried desperately to find early Sunday breakfast after the Dixie game, and the waits were 45 minutes with only about half the table taken (Bernardo's, Black Bear, Crepeville). This Sunday I think we'll order via Door Dash, pick up and bring it back to the room (or eat at Central Park).

    I don’t think I would conclude no concussion. His head hit the turf pretty hard. Seemed woozy on the sideline and his father was sitting behind him the rest of the game

    I don’t think there is a requirement to sit any specific time. Have to clear medical

    Pass was definitely high. Uncatchable? That wasn’t obvious. I think it was an intended pass since receiver did have some space. It’s hard to judge since the guy pulled him down so hard to gauge where the trajectory was relative to where the intended target’s hand could be.

    One we may have got a break on was offensive PI on swing to Davis that wiped out first down and out them back at the 10. That set up the last drive, correct? I believe the rule is blocking is okay is pass is behind the line? If that’s the rule, it looked awfully close. We might not have got a chance to win otherwise

    that was a puzzling play call. Their QB wasn’t accurate with long balls, so seemed way risky. Same head puzzling with the 2 passes prior to us stuffing them on 4th and 1 at the 20.

    What puzzled me on offense is that HR never seemed to have a easy play with to a open receiver. Several, what looked like, longer one-man patterns with tight coverage. After the injury (his head hit hard), we called several shorter passes (pass and run to Gilliam on 3rd and long was a beaut) and e got in a rhythm. Weber guy had short passes in the holes of the zone all night. Maybe it’s our heavy use of two tight-ends?

    if you look at the start of the play at the far sideline, you’ll see me in the golf pullover. Great finish. Weber folk were none too happy with the refs, but that last PI was so obvious

    Warm here; low 80’s but feels hotter

    I think what concerned me with Dixie was their 3rd down conversions (9-17), many on 3rd and long. That was too reminiscent of 2019. Got to get those stops today!

    Weather says 81 degrees at kickoff. I’ll pack a windbreaker for the second half, but looks very comfortable

    good points, as usual! The March defensive effort was one of the best o can remember vs a top BSC team. Let’s see that, along with the current version of the offense!

    I’m not sure I’d refer to our defense last week as ‘stout’. That’s my concern / can we stop them early
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ Weber State
    the fall 2020 schedule is the one we are playing this season, except for out of conference. The spring thing made it 2 in a row. We were home in 2019
  • New Covid Protocol - Vax or Neg Test required
    this is the new rule as of September 20 for mega events outdoor (10000). I suspect that’s why we had 9999 on. Saturday. Not sure how the other teams will react; Giants lifted their restrictions May 18. But reading more closely, sounds like it recommended for outdoor mega events, required by indoor.

    that 4th down was huge. Make it and we continue the first half momentum. Instead, they got a quick score and things turned around fast.
  • Are there really no/so few branded UC Davis masks available to purchase?
    We stopped in campus bookstore on Sunday and were underwhelmed. Downtown is often better, but I think online is best option. We were looking for kids shirts for grandkids since they had nothin for them at the game (except $50 jersey or cheerleading outfif!).
