Idaho State Journal: "Then in the final quarter UCD was able to twice convert third down plays to keep their drive alive down the stretch. Five times Larison got the ball on the drive which he finished with that 23-yard score. He started up the middle, broke to the outside and got into the end zone.

“They should have given him the ball 40 times,” Cody Hawkins said. “He’s a stud. I love that kid. They broke a couple tendencies and hats off to the staff when they went with the wildcat formation. A lot of that stuff… it’s just get him the ball with leverage and numbers and he’s going to break tackles. He’s just a fantastic player.”

Good observations. We shot 30% from 3, they shot 50%. Sam Manu added 4 rebounds.

Another option. What's his 40 speed?

As we see with Keelan Doss, it's a huge jump to the next level. O'Brien had a cannon, Benirschke had a leg.

A few posted yesterday worrying that we might lose LL to an FBS program. FWIW, here's what happened to Cameron Skattabo.

He's at Arizona State and has over 600 yds rushing - no. 1 on his team - and about 280 receiving for a 3-7 team. At Sac he racked up over 1400 yds rushing in one season.

LL could be a top 5 RB in all of FCS next year. He's #13 now for rushing yards, unsure why I can't find him in rushing yards per Game, which should be even higher.

How in the heck did he ever land Coach Foster early in his career?

Lan Larrison was 70% of our offense and about 99% of our rushing yards.

The offense needs some juice. Better 3rd down conversion, Chaz Davis early, Fly sweep (at least a fake FS)?, bubble screen, LL throwing (he was a QB in HS), real trick play? I'm obviously not an OC, but I believe we'd all hate to see LL hurt if we just pound him between the tackles for 4 quarters.

Fill the place! Go Ags.

A wins a win, so congrats to the team. In defense of the new OC, I think both Plough and Cody also started out slow / predictable.

Don't we all recall Hawkins saying at his first presser, "I'm not one for 'see ball, get ball' ... I want some mis-direction, guys going this way and that way..."

No tempo (?), no fly sweep (?), put LL or TT in a run between the tackles... [did that cover tonight, I was juggling several interests]? No trick plays?... recall when Jake Maier used to Quick Kick for us to keep opposing speedsters off the field? ... last year with Cody we were predictable with UG, especially on first down. Both Chukwudobe and Babbs have big play potential, but don't get opportunities. Chaz Davis shines, and then drops off. Limited use of Pickett, a lengthy WR (6'4").

I see we didn't attempt one fourth down play (no confidence in our O), but we got 5 sacks. Huge. Kennedy huge w 3 sacks, 4 tackles for loss, Bains had 9 tackles to lead the team. Kavir Bains.

Next Sat could be ugly.

Hawkins moved quickly on his DC when he thought Coach Tucker wasn't cutting it. But Tucker wasn't an Aggie alum.

Ags 0 for 5 - 3rd Down

Yards per pass:
UCD 5.2
ISU 9.0

Why don't we pass over the middle instead of those long sideline passes for 3 yards? And bubble screen?

Was that a draw play to LL?

ISU has the #1 passing offense in FCS... Ags #38. But they've thrown 16 picks.

Go Ags!

SMC has an outstanding local guard who was a true freshman last year, but tailed off at year end. Ranked #23 right now, may win the WCC.

How about the GIANT new signage at Howard Way? Ugh.

1. Are you talking about this newer fonts?

2. I've never been wild about this one, blackish.

3. Original campus entrance, clean, one font. (though why is the spacing off between UC and Davis?)

Les was a guard, and runs a guard / wing oriented team. Clint Bozner was unstoppable, and Les didn't exploit his strengths.

Is that the odd blocky font?

I call Hornet alums garcon (waiter).

Pictures?
