2024 Week 3: UC Davis (1-1) @ Southern Utah (1-1) Things I liked
- Lan Larison continues to show why he's going to go down as an Aggie legend. 88 net rushing yards, 92 receiving yards, and the TD to put us up in the 3rd quarter.
- Miles Hastings' completion percentage was much better than it was coming into the game. I criticize MH a lot, but I try to be objective about it so I will at least give him that he was more efficient today.
- Team defense only gave up 14 points to a team that dropped 27 on a (really bad) FBS team last week. They held their key player, Lambson, to less yards on more carries than UTEP did as well.
- Hunter Ridley has been money the last 2 games.
- No real special teams errors that I can think of off the top of my head.
Things I didn't like
- There's no way getting around talking about the pick 6. Plough trying to use the shadows on the field as an excuse, but we all know and see it that Miles rarely looks past his first read. He almost threw a 2nd pick 6 on basically the same play in the same area of the field. Big Sky DBs are licking their chops knowing that they will be able to jump routes when they see Miles looking at their side of the field.
- The defense has been beat up with injuries and were getting gassed by the end of the game, but there at the end of the 3rd quarter and into the 4th quarter the tackling looked pretty rough. That hasn't been a consistent problem this season, but I didn't like seeing so many broken tackles at the end of the game.
- Continued question marks about just getting the ball into the end zone. Just 1 TD from within the red zone. We can't rely on FGs and 60 yard TDs to win games once conference play starts.
A win is a win! Go Ags! Bring on the Trailblazers!
