Game day! Let's go Aggies!

Appreciate the support, but I don't think we stand much of a chance given the results of the last couple games. SDSU is a juggernaut.

To be totally fair... we haven't done anything well lately.

I guess Bob isn't doing predictions anymore after the last couple of games :rofl:

I think it's also important to note that accuracy doesn't necessarily imply effectiveness. Hastings barely went over 200 yards on 28 completions in the game against CP. He also had a pick in that game and has continued to have some issues with picks at inopportune times.

Not a good look at all if the coaching staff is losing the team over the QB situation. If everyone is playing up to their potential then HR is the guy, no question about it. The problem is that, as others have mentioned, he was playing nowhere near his potential post concussion. I was amongst the fans asking for change. The MH experiment has not been a success though. If neither guy is playing up to expectations, you have to go with the guy the team backs. Like I said though, not at all a good look for Dan and the rest of the staff.

That's pretty chilly for our California boys! Hope they pack the long sleeves.

Like I said in other threads, I understand why Hunter got benched. That being said, the Hastings experiment has proved even less fruitful. I think you have to go with Rodrigues with Hastings only leading 1 TD drive against EWU and Sac.

LB Sincere Jackson has committed to Temple

I don't think it's bias in this situation. I'm sure y'all are doing research into the Aggies, but what you'll find is a team that is... Just okay and skated by with a FBS win followed by an easy schedule. We fell apart against our toughest opponents not to mention we gave ISU their only win on the season. I would be shocked if the Jacks don't take this one.

Looking forward to (hopefully) a good game. I've caught a couple of your games this season and all I have to say is... We're in trouble lol

I'm guessing Vaughn and Harrell aren't going to be available which makes us very thin in the receiving game. The big question will be Rodrigues or Hastings?

The Jackrabbits come into this match up with a record of 8-3. They had wins over Colorado State, Lindenwood, Indiana State, Dixie State, Western Illinois, Youngstown State, North Dakota State, and North Dakota. Their losses came against South Dakota on a hail mary, Northern Iowa, and Southern Illinois in OT. They have a fairly balanced offense with nearly 250 passing yards per game and almost 200 rushing yards per game. Their defense is also very stout allowing just 18.3 point per game.

SDSU boasts a strong offense led by QB Chris Oladokun, RB Pierre Strong, and WR Jaxson Janke. Oladokun has completed 184/288 passes on the season for 2450 yards with 20 touchdowns and only 5 interceptions. He's additionally rushed 52 times 207 yards and 2 touchdowns. Strong has 190 rushing attempts for 1364 yards and 15 touchdowns. Janke has 53 receptions on the season for 876 yards and 3 touchdowns.

On defense the Jackrabbits are led by LB Adam Bock. Bock racked up 100 total tackles on the season with 9 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He additionally added 1 interception and 2 forced fumbles. CB Malik Lofton has recorded 3 interceptions on the season and recovered 2 fumbles.

Their kicker, Cole Frahm, went 17/23 on the season with a long of 54. They were only forced to punt 30 times over the course of the season and averaged around 43 yards per punt.

They are a strong all around team with no specific weaknesses to attack. They have strong offensive weapons in all positions and will test you through the air or on the ground. Their defense is tenacious and is +8 in the turnover margin. This will be an incredibly difficult game for the Ags in front of a very passionate fan base in weather conditions our guys aren't used to playing in. My initial prediction is the SDSU takes the win in comfortable fashion, but as I've said the last 2 weeks... I hope the boys can prove me wrong.

Briefly because of a kickoff return for a touchdown. The offense was terrible in that game just like it was terrible today.

We came up more than just short, Dan. This was a thorough trouncing. There's a lot to fix after watching the last 2 weeks. Eastern and Sac are very good teams this season, but we weren't super competitive in either.

I agree with you on the quarterback situation for the remainder of this season if we happen to make the playoffs. I understand why HR got pulled. His performance against ISU was abysmal and it wasn't much better against UNC despite the win in that game. The Hastings experiment hasn't gone well though. Like you said, I don't want to just sit here and bad mouth a kid, but his stat line over the last 4 games was 92/142 (64.8%) 814 yards (203.5 yards per game) 5 touchdowns (1.25 touchdowns per game) 4 interceptions (1 interception per game) and -24 rushing yards (he took more sacks than his extremely limited rushing yards). 200 passing yards per game just won't cut it when you don't have a run game or personal mobility. I think HR has a better skill set even if he isn't performing super well either. I think in the long run Dan has to find a quarterback who isn't yet on the roster. We can't have this kind of circus next season.

I mean, imagine this quarterback carousel happened at a school in the power 5. The media, fans, and donors would be looking for heads to roll. Our staff is sheltered by the fact that we're FCS with very little media pressure.

got the itch to get embarrassed 3 games in a row? :rofl:

I wonder if Dan is going to face any tough questions after the last 2 games? I know we don't really have a lot of media covering the team, but he should be getting some fire given the results and their implications on the season.

They've had an amazing turnaround from the beginning of the season. They started with an uninspired win against Dixie State who are looking at a 1 win season followed by a not particularly close loss to UNI who have gone 6-5. They just really figured something out and didn't slow down.

Also it has to be said that Sac State was flat out the better team. Taylor coached better. The team wanted it more. They displayed the attitude you have to have to be winners. They could absolutely be dangerous in the playoffs. Congrats to them as they clearly deserved the W.
