    Yeah, this was years ago.

    OK, eyes a little blurred looking at small print, but here are some new SA who were on the depth chart in Week 2, and now, aren't. Buyer beware.

    DT / DL
    Devin Huegel (Frosh)
    Julian Fernandez (Frosh)
    Tyler Parker (Frosh)
    Ike Ikegbu (Jr, American River)

    LB
    Grant Garretson Sr, Butte College)

    I believe Coach Gould was hammered one year, and eventually the scuttlebutt rumor was that we had a new head athletic trainer who had a hair trigger on holding back players. (Gould's motto was like the military, "Next man up".)

    Given the new all-year training, another reason why I'm usually in favor of playing subs, and subs when we're comfortably ahead in the second half. We seemed to load up a lot of reps for HR, MH, LL, among others. MH was here five+ years, how much utility were in the last drive or two in blowout wins? I understand LL was battling for post-season honors and the NFL draft. Others would chime in, "If you don't have ONE QB, then you have no QB."

    Has the extra year / two of wear and tear come into play? Are our SA doing different strength training in our new facilities? (My guess is no.)

    Meyer was a beast last year, this year it looks like the plan was Psyk and the Connors.

    Go back to Week 2 Game Notes, but do we really want to publicise this?

    Get 4 and 5 a few carries. Aggie Pride.

    What do you mean? Les didn't use Clint Bozner, and had a high player turnover rate before the Covid era. His career coaching record is .506.

    Ham was gracious, warm, and funny off the court, and loved his players. His rantings weren't mean spirited or personal, he was a bundle of passion and intensity. I knew players who loved him, and most respected him. I witnessed many practices at Hickey and Rec Hall when he was both intense and funny.

    He helped many get into grad school, and a lifelong friendship with Judge Gordie Baranco speaks volumes. I'm told the Hamiltons were there when Gordie was sworn in as one of the youngest judges ever in our state. He nurtured Audwin Thomas, Jason Rabedeaux, and many others. I've been told stories of Ham's kindness to players, and spending hours visiting with his players, sharing personal time. One former Ham assistant flew from back east to attend his memorial.

    MSU cornerback Carr today: "And when they come to Bobcat Stadium, they're going to have to see us, for sure. I don't think that Cali weather that (they have), they don't see none of that at 8:15 in Bozeman, ooh wee.”

    Give #3 and #4 some touches, when appropriate.

    Mr. Combs has his work cut out this week.

    CP young, WR crew younger.

    My concern is the defense, depth there, and how much falloff going to backups. If we had Vargas we could run some ball control, not sure that we're ready to expose RB Kai Acai or frosh Aden Jackson (5'10", 210) to that vs MSU.

    Any public venues showing it in Davis or the East Bay?

    FWIW, next year's schedule looks favorable. EWU not being a monster helps.

    Sam Herder now has MSU at #2, Montana at #3.

    Heat of the moment comments, and the injuries.

    I loved the offensive line complete shift, not sure how badly that confuses a defense or if it matters. There were some great play calls, and execution. Perfect tune up for next week.

    Good to see Kai Acia get 4 carries (16 yards) and WR Scott Nixon had one grab.

    Grad students Riddick (7 tackles), Richardson (6), and Batson (6) led the way on D. Soph LB Sievers had 5 tackles.

    Jaden Few (Frosh DLine), Jordan Black-Glass (Soph DB via Fresno City), and Charlie Allen (Sr LB) contributed.
