Some intriguing out of conference games this week.

That Nicholls @ Sac game could be a barn burner.
Albany @ Idaho, interesting to say the least.
Eastern @ SE Louisiana, I want to watch.
Weber @ Lamar, I think that will be close.

Southern Utah Head Coach DeLane Fitzgerald apparently had took some shots at El Paso before the game:


Proper Highlights of the match up:

Northern Arizona up on Arizona 10-6 in the 3rd Qtr. and they have the ball.

Fresno 25 - Sac 10 in the 2nd Qtr.

North Dakota drops Montana in Grand Forks 27-24

Montana State drops Maine 41-24

Weber turns on the jets to defeat Portland State 43-16 in Ogden.

Stanford routs Poly 41-7, it was a pretty even score wise in the first half.

Idaho State blasts Western Oregon 50-10

Colorado State takes care of UNC 38-17

Maybe I should put a bet down.

NFL scouts are watching. Hawk said TB could be playing at Georgia if he wanted to.

Listing the game as @ Mercer, but sounds like the contest will be at a neutral field.

I'll get Mercer on the 2025 slate

Is Plough going to feed Lan this week? Or has the offense truly shifted to a sling first, ask questions later type of vibe? My biggest takeaway from Cal.

Part of me thinks it's strategic to not overexpose Lan early in the season, we need him for every single Big Sky contest -- and as RBs go Lan will take a pounding more than most this season, but it looks obvious he has worked hard all off-season to endure that.

Home opener baby, let's get it Aggies.

Idaho guys talking Week 2 power rankings.

Correct, they were building directly with a FBS recruited grade roster. Young players and transfers.

Watching the highlights I don't know if it's just trying to neutralize the Cal rush, or just playing to Hastings' strengths, but we did not push the ball down the field nearly enough. If you're going to hang with a bigger, faster, deeper team you have to take chances. Yet even in the more modest approach, MH still threw 3 picks...and each one was in the over 15 yard range...all looked underthrown or badly misread.

The Idaho DL and LB corps are legit...the Vandals are a tough group defensively.

Montana 12
Missouri State 10

Halftime
