  • Montana Game
    i think we're a different animal than Monmouth of North Alabama, especially at home!
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ North Dakota State
    a physical team at home where they can suit up and use their redshirts is a huge advantage. Also helps a lot on special teams where you can use fresh, talented guys, while the traveling team uses some starters. I think we’ll score, but defense will really struggle against the run.

    they did have a loud train whistle that the cheerleaders fired after scores. And the Cal Poly game of the late 70’s was the Johnny Lu game - John Lucido

    Gary Lee was a guest of ours at a game a couple years back (a brewfest). he was quite a big deal back in the day, playing many a show for Bill Graham at the Fillmore. Good guy.
  • Week 4: UC Davis @ North Dakota State
    not to look BEYOND this game, but the forecast for next Saturday's day game (thanks, Roots TV) v Montana is 75 degrees. that's gonna be a HUGE game for both teams.
  • Ralph Hexter stepping down
    he was a big advocate of the athletic program. he was critical in that transition period before May took over. don't think Hawkins would be here if Hexter hadn't been there to work things out.

    i think that spread is reflective of our #4 maybe being a bit too high! NDSU beat Eastern by 14 on a neutral field last year (the dome is FAR from neutral!), and some think this team is even better. Our line play on both sides of the ball hasn't been good enough for a top 5 team, so i suspect those factors are playing into the spread

    i think the line has been pretty solid in pass protection, given the number of passes we are throwing and the pressure we're seeing. but the run game has been disappointing given the experience of the line. i think with the current game (limited practice time, limiting contact) it takes longer to get the timing/combos down for the run game, so hopefully they are making the necessary adjustments. athletic group, and should be bigger and stronger than last year. just surprised so far they haven't been able to exert their will in short yardage (especially at the goal line). puts alot of pressure on the pass game in the redzone and especially right near the goal line.

    I was checking stats off and in, and was surprised to see Poly with something like 6 pass attempts late in the 3rd down something like 35-7. Seemed like you were taking more shots the two weeks. What happened?
  • Week 3: Lehigh @ UC Davis
    Two stats that are concerning

    Rush 32-91 2.8 ypc (37 of those were on 6 attempts by McFadden and Rodrigues)

    Third down conversion: 7-21

    Second was due at to the first, and overlooked because we were 6-9 on 4th down. I think 2 of 3 first half TDs were on fourth. We got stuffed on short yardage at the goal line a few times (once in 4th). Puts a ton of pressure on QB and WRs the pick those 4th and shorts in the red zone. I thought our run game would be further along with the veteran line, although timing/combos take live reps that they only see in games these days

    I’m not watching but really surprised at only 6 passes in first three quarters. Passing had been good first two games
  • FCS Games of Note: Week 3
    A little shocked at 37-7 half time score of Oregon state over poly. Just looking at stats, poly has only passed 5 times. Might want to open it up?
  • Week 3: Lehigh @ UC Davis
    I read the book recently; very heart warming story. Reminds you that people can rise to the occasion when necessary

    Bookmakers seem to favor us slightly. 37 points is ALOT. Would need our D to really step it up
  • Week 3: Lehigh @ UC Davis
    Forecast is 85 degrees at kickoff

  • Week 3: Lehigh @ UC Davis
    you would think the Bay Area Ivy alum would be interested in seeing their team play. Up until last season, i'd say that Poly was a tougher matchup than Davis
