They’ve beaten two defending conference champs, San Diego (Pioneer) and North Dakota (Big Sky). 2016 Records: 3-8, 2-6.

You'd think Catholic schools would be bigger given they are pro growth O:) ... GoAgs, if you are in the Moraga area, it might be worth it to stop for a drink at Casa Orinda, cool bar from the ranch days right next to the freeway.

Next year we are at EWU on Nov. 10th per Spokesman Review.

Moraga, no hotels, probably no motels either. Try Walnut Creek or Concord. One main u shaped road in and out, then over a hill. ... in Bakersfield Santa Barbara isn't a long drive.

Is Fresno that bad? I believe FS inspired the notorious Bulldog gang, a one of a kind deal.

Coaches show will also be broadcast on KSAC radio tonite. See what winning does?

Hawkins has been saying our DB crew is very deep, so this Saturday will be a test. If true, congrats to Coach Gould and staff as they filled that void.

Will we have Ryan P back?

+1. My heart says we win, my head days we lose by 17.

We have 1 Doss, they have 2, and probably a 3rd who hasn't had a chance yet. Hawk admitted in today's Enterprise that UND was wiped out by injuries. Which included their top FCS DB and the whole linebacking crew and half the O line.

Go Ags!

I do think the first game at Aggie Stadium was significant... for different reasons... plus Cal Poly is off, and Idaho State is winnable.

Those are big, but a victory here puts us in a position to seriously consider the playoffs, to also make a Statement... if we continue to execute and strive.

I read this saying somewhere recently... did a recent article inspire this reference?

Do we have the backs to grind it a little? Thomas is built, we have a few FB and could go wildcat some.... it should be fun. It could be a 52 - 49 game.

ND seemed to be testing the Frosh Duncan at DB.

And we haven't seen WR Jared Harrell!

Two quick notes. FR Fabian Hunkin is load, now 6'2", 290. Haven't seen this name, DB Evan Barney is a walk on from Clayton Valley HS.

+1. We need a situation where we can get him some PT with expanded options.

I am so thrilled to see a real offense again. Many games I went to the past few years, former players and high school coaches were predicting our plays in the stands.

Far to early to say. Stay humble.

They were gone by the time I left... I wanted to soak up the W.

Several things I really like. Lots of players contributing. Every week we seem to see something new, so maybe that is a combination of an expanded playbook and a different strategy for each game. This weekend it was tight end heavy.

BTW, the PR announcer called one play a reverse... wasn't that a double reverse?

We need to stay HUMBLE. After Weber State waxed us, their coach repeatedly said they need to stay humble. ... We beat a team plagued with injuries that several teams have rolled up huge numbers against. This is a huge TEST. Go Ags!

On their fan board they were complaining about having a few injuries... and I think being unable to stop the run.

Most meaningful game in how many years?
