NBA player Jonathan Isaac gives two eloquent, thoughtful answers regarding the vaccine and Covid. (He was apparently mischaracterized by Rolling Stone magazine.) Two shorts video clips.

There was a stretch there late where he went from not throwing, to throwing 3-4 20 yard plus balls, one into triple coverage. Maybe his decision, pushing to make something happen.

agalum, "Gould stand by his man" I'm not sure that's fair. He had his starter, then used Jimmy Laughrea, back to his starter, then Ben Scott. Our offense eventually centered on a walk on RB.

FWIW on South Dakota State support / facilities - Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium, seating 19,300, cost $65M to build... Lead gifts and long term financing.

They drew 15,000+ in their home opener against DII Lindenwood.

We have an outside chance to catch Berkeley (#75). The Bears are 1-3 and had to fight to beat Sac (42-30).

We rarely play these northeastern or southern schools... JMU, Sam Houston. I do recall we played the Kingsville Javalinas several times in the DII days, once at The Tome.

Edit - have to credit South Dakota State HC and alum John Stiegelmeier for building their powerhouse program.

How did South Dakota State become a power?

Jimmy Garoppolo's fourth quarter backwards pass / fumble led to a Packers' field goal. 9ers lost by two.

JG two turnovers tonight.

Garoppolo rating: 87.2
Rogers QB rating: 113.3

Fantastic Rogers / Green Bay comeback.

The backwards fumble.

How did Josh Davis become human? O-line graduation?

Note: we have a young team... 13 seniors (2 WR, 2 OL), 17 juniors.

The comments on Miles Hasting are worth noting.

Impressive.

Plough even threw to his defensive lineman who doubles as a TE.

He looked off against Dixie State w limited throws. I believe HR was also dinged up last year. Maier ran less, and got down.

We were up big against DS and they put HR back in, and he had a few long runs which I thought were risky and unneeded. That was the last obvious game to get Hastings and even Gunnor Faulk reps. (I'm not at practice, but GF was 3 for 3 in limited PT last year.)

Short arm motion?

Highlights as QB.

You mean this bull rush?

Bryce Rodgers has been a rock for our team his whole career. Maybe he is standing out more now because he has more size at NG to assist him. I spoke with his parents a few years ago, wonderful family.

Defensive Tackles - individual (4 games)

Venable 23 total / 17 solo
Perryman 17 / 14
Trimble 16 / 9
Buchanan 15 / 7 *18 years old*
Eaton 15 / 7
Mouisset 14 / 11
Rogers 14 / 6

FWIW, our younger, bigger DBs coming into their own, early. It seems like this year DBs are leading the team in tackles, not LB s.

Calvin Mouisset SO 7 tackles, 7 solo
Jaylin White Jr - 6 / 6
Chris Venable SO 6 / 6
Jordan Perryman Jr 6 / 6
Jamie Budgett RFrosh 5 / 5

Breakout game for Mouisset & Budgett.

Agreed. Gutsy win. Play calling odd. Repetitive short runs, then 4 HR passes of 20 yards or more late in the game? (3 high) They finally called 2 screen passes. Why no medium throws?

Miles Hastings pass attempts

San Diego - 12
Dixie State* - 1
Weber St - 9

* I don't get that one. We need reps for Hastings for obvious reasons.

Defensive MVP

UC Davis athletics: "[Bryce] Rodgers posted a strip sack of Weber quarterback Kylan Weisser on a 4th-and-6 play midway through the first quarter, then Rodgers pressured Weisser into an interception in the second. ..."

Had a hand in 2 of 3 turnovers.

Huge. Hastings - 7 of 9, 50 yards passing.

MVP... Hastings?

TT - the most dangerous Wildcat QB in college football?
