I was part of that; they had us come down to court side from the upper level and that was a little scary. No handrails and some of the steps are kind of high. I joked with the staffer organizing that she was risking wiping out a bulk of our donor pool. ‘Is you resume up to date?’ I think she saw her career going up in smoke!

I was watching the replay on ESPN+. Broadcast was good. Two Scott’s work well together. Forgot how many short fields we had after long returns or INT; many that we couldn’t get into the end zone. Pass offense was just off all night.

I didn’t make it to the end. Hit the return button instead of rewind twice, and when you start up, it starts from scratch. FF on ESPN+ seems clunky - kind of guessing how far to go.

Darius was good; it just seemed like he ran out of material before the end of the first half. We need more gimmicks (quizzes, simba cam, dance cam) to keep the students engaged.

Someone mentioned Gomez’ lack of leg - I think the one miss was effected by wind. Whelen’s kickoff in that direction were short, but was out of the end zone on the other end. I think that’s why we didn’t try a 47 yard FG on fourth and 20, but….no pooch punt?

How was the quality of the TV broadcast? Any improvement in video quality, game angles, etc?

NAU came in 0-2 outscored 76-23 and knock off Arizona! Wildcat fans must be pissed! 0-2 FCS team knocks off a Pac12 team…..sounds familiar

I think we prepped for the other QB, so were zone dominant with a REALLY deep safety (25 yards). The new QB didn’t run much, didn’t go down field BUT was accurate 10-15 yards (especially, it seemed like on 3rd and long!). We didn’t seem to adapt much from that especially with the big lead. Bend and let them break? Just concerned at the last of pressure without a blitz and the openness of their WRs (who were talented).

For others who were in attendance, did the band sound off to you? Like everything was a bit slow. I noticed Aggie Fight in the pregame tent had a cadence that was slower than I recall. Pregame and halftime also seemed slow. Or was it just my ears?

Also, I’m pretty sure there was no Bossy Cow Cow. Maybe the Vegan Student Union protested it was too triggering!

Game took 3:34! Not many fans left them besides friends and family. There WAS a bus picking up a group from the University Retirement Community as we drove out!

Berry was doing TV color with Marsh on play by play? Greg Wong and Doug Kelly in radio?

Great energy in stadium for first half, then we lost momentum. Pass defense was not great. Not much pressure and really open receivers. Running game was outstanding, passing game looked like spring. Don’t recall hearing our TE’s name called at all. Receivers never got much separation, and they were able to pressure HR. With the returns and INT’s, we should have put it away much earlier. Maybe got overexcited with early success, Dixie wasn’t bad.

GREAT atmosphere for the first half. My son and family were with us and they were pleasantly shocked, and they’ve been coming to a game got the past 4-5 years.

they must have different onside kick rules in high school. They loaded up the center and just bowled them over!

Twice

We really want to see JMU put a beat down on Weber and get them reeling for our game in a couple weeks!

I wonder what’s changed for Dixie since spring? Rang up up yards vs FBS New Mexico State (terrible but FBS) and were tied 29-29 late. Two long TD passes and long run. Played Kennesaw tough with 400 yards of offense. Hope that doesn’t show on Saturday. Coombs and co. seem to game plan well and are really good at in-game adjustments

Here’s a funny stat : in spring DSU hung with New Mexico State 36-29, rolling up 483 yards. So, does their offense have potential or are the Aggies that bad?

Hopefully they bring play to their potential against teams called Aggies!

early on, they really stacked the box. 8 guys within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. I was stunned to see them that packed in. Probably why we didn’t run much early, AND why we pushed it down the field.

it will be interesting to see if we've made upgrades in our video capabilities with the move to ESPN. i remember reading that some Big Sky brass had toured different stadiums to see what changes could be made -> not sure where the money comes from. I know Scott Marsh and Scott Barry are doing the announcing.

I was much less impressed with their QB than he was. I think he stated he was the best in the conference

it was Larison. Makes more sense now.

i thought it odd v Tulsa when we brought him in on 4th and 1, and lined HR up behind a guard as deception. cute setup, but we lost a blocker. he finds holes, and is VERY patient. i swear that punt return took 20 seconds, but it may have been heat stroke.

I think it was an omen for the Toreros when the singer flubbed the lyrics to the national anthem after the 9/11 moment of silence. Lot of pressure on her.

was reading comments post Cal Poly, and their coach didn’t seem pleased with the schedule. One scholarship game is okay, but back to back? To back? That’s a stiff challenge.

I was surprised in that article how many of their seniors stuck around (I think 16) and they had a couple transfers. I thought that attrition might have explained their drop off in talent
