I just posted some NCAA FCS Statistics under the Honecoming Game thread. Our passing game is very efficient, but for some reason we don't do well on First down. One of those little things we could focus on.

One game at a time. The twins being out isn't good, but now the rested reserves have their moment.

We'll have a lot of grad students on defense to replace next year.

Yes. His social media posts weren't good.

No turnovers = HUGE. Props to the whole offense, RBs, WRs, QB. Our playoff loss we had SIX turnovers. Six.

I wish he'd end some of his runs a little earlier, we don't need a Montana LB teeing off on him.

Who's our last QB who could make that throw - JT O'Sullivan?

Terrific! I loved the Musée d'Orsay, really amazing. I agree, experience and wits... after traveling in Europe I've kept the custom of putting my wallet in my front pocket. The cheese thete was amazing... not pasteurized?

Machetes are a thing in London now, so are banned zombie knives (I had to use google) and Samari swords.

50-yard toss.

I just caught CP TD throw to Zach Jones in the back right end zone. It looks to have been about a 50-yard throw (32-yard TD). I can't recall Rodriguez or Maier making a throw like that.

If they want to play at the next level, they'll likely seek a RS year.

What are the odds identical twin brothers, rarely hurt, go down in the same game, w season ending injuries?

Montana - Idaho State - 42 - 38 Final
MSU - NAU - 34 - 10 Final
EWU - PSU - 35 - 27 Final

Caden Pinnick on the year.

Passer Rating 165.99
79 - 121 - 65.3%
11 TDs, 2 INT
1066 yards, 213 YPG

I asked Grok AI if this passer rating was good:

"A college football quarterback passer rating of 165.99 is excellent. ... A rating of 165.99 typically places a quarterback among the top performers in a given season, indicating strong efficiency, accuracy, and productivity with minimal turnovers. For context, elite college quarterbacks often post ratings between 150 and 180, with Heisman contenders frequently exceeding 160. This rating suggests the quarterback is performing at a high level, likely contributing significantly to their team’s success."

Statistical highlights

C. Pinnick - 21 - 26 / 3 TDs / 0 TOs
WR Zach Jones - 2 TD receptions
Team Fumbles 0

Off Yards - 449 - 342
Rushing 3.7 YPC; 3.1 YPC if you take out one CP rush
Five WR w 3 or more receptions (Dixon had 2)
Five receptions of 25 or more yards

Defense - tackles

Stanley - 11
Silvers - 11 - soph
Mayo - 8 - soph
Riddick - 7 - Grad
Bell - 7
Madruga- 5
Allen - 5 - Grad
Smith - 4 - Grad

Frosh DL Justin Few - lone sack

I missed the big pickup by our QB turned TE. Key play? And Dobbins.

That was a quick 7.

Will they qualify for redshirt, if they're interested?

Color man continues his love affair w "Ball Sniffer"...

I believe my idea might have been first last year.

FCS / Week #8:

"Idea: do we have a brusing FB to clear space for LL? Should we try Nick Afato (LB, 225) or Rex Connors (210)? Think about Afato... he played QB in high school, while Connors came to mind when I saw him return his pick 6. He's an athlete. Even if Afato is a decoy, play him against No Colorado, he gets on tape.

"Idea #2 Amone (300#s) or Toki (375#s) at FB ala Fridge Perry."

My concern is for young girls and teenagers being brutalized, often gang r*ped, tortured and pimped, on a mass scale. I first read about this in 2000, and it's now spread throughout western Europe. Sweden was one of the first countries hit hard. I don't care who commits the crime, but I won't ignore it, either, for political reasons.

The Sikh community (i.e. dark brown) have educated some of their children about the risks, and some families have flown their daughters to other countries for their own safety.

Putting together 50+ new players from all over can't be easy, culture, bonds, communication. Switching QBs a big change.
