I think the offensive line was an issue against USD. Too many running plays blown up in the backfield before the back had a chance to do anything and thank god Maier is at least somewhat mobile or there would have been quite a few more sacks. We weren't getting the protection we needed last night and it needs to get cleaned up because the defensive lines we will be facing from here on out are only going to get stronger.

Pretty sure that's the football team chanting the fight song.

Thanks for the pictures. Can't wait to get back to Davis one of these days to catch a game. Might be a little bit of a trip from Virginia though!

Anthony Lawrence is on the Walter Payton Watch List, but we didn't make him look like he is. He finished 15/25 for 150 yards and no TDs. He's definitely missing his favorite targets this season as Riley graduated and Dwelley went out with an injury after catching only 1 pass for 14 yards.

All of the scores for this week are in and there were some interesting results. EWU hardly looks like the same team of the last couple of seasons. They played NDSU, but were entirely noncompetitive. UND looked very strong against Missouri State. As mentioned previously, it looks like CP is starting to get their sea legs back after a couple of rough games. Southern Utah manhandled SFA. Sac beat up on Incarnate Word.

That would be awesome. I don't want to get too ahead of myself here in terms of how good we will be this particular season, but we're clearly already on a better track than we were with Coach Gould at the helm. Next week will be a huge test @ Portland State.

I'm sure there is some sort of algorithm that could determine that kind of thing, but I don't know of a specific one of the top of my head. My point was though that it's just really damn refreshing to have a coach that has a killer instinct. That call on the 29 yard line was gutsy. Not a call that even Biggs would have made imho, let alone Gould.

lol. But seriously, now with Hawk we're going for it on 4th and 1 from our own 29 and at that point I believe we were only up by a touchdown.

A minute left in the half and we have the ball on their 20? Nah, lets just take knees.

518 yards of offense to end the night. Maier passes for 369 and 3 TDs. Another 100 yard night for Doss although we didn't see him much in the 2nd half. Hopefully not an injury there. Aaron Moore was a pleasant surprise tonight. Defense held em to a touchdown. Too many turnovers and the offensive line needs to give Maier some more time. Overall, a fun game. There are things to clean up but a win is a win is a win and I will take em any way possible after living through the Gould era.

I'm happy to be winning by this margin. Much larger than most everyone predicted. USD isn't a bad squad despite being "non-sholarship".

I hope so. I'm usually not for running up the score, but it's been so long since we've had this kind of opportunity.

I would like to point out that we're currently up 28 points on a team that made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs last season and returned quite a few starters (although they did graduate some key skill players). It's so much fun watching the Aggies light it up again.

TOUCHDOWN AGGIES!

Absolutely. I'm already in love with what Hawkins and Plough are doing with the offense and we should only get better in the coming seasons.

Awesome punt return!

Yeah a jump ball in tight coverage. It was pretty impressive. Yes the horn is back. It was around last season but it was based outside of the stadium. Apparently they moved it inside for this year.

Well thats because Maier is mobile. Not a dual threat but his pocket presence is pretty dang good. Offensive line in general has not been very good this game.

Play stands on review!

I just got it back on a refresh but it's sad that in 2017 we can't get a freakin stable stream of a football game.
