I think there was a palpable difference in offensive team speed that helped UCD separate from NAU. Gbatu, Dobbins, Fisher and Vargas in particular. Pennington was also thrown off with the pass rush, that was also critical to take pressure off the DBs.

I still can't get over that overturning 'incomplete pass' call at the end of the Colorado State game. Ed Lamb must be so battle torn that the call didn't even phase him - can you imagine Paul Wulff getting that call turned around against him?

My imagination immediately comes up with an outcome of that hypothetical - instant stroke.

Well deserved - Adam Jones has to be thinking "What the hell do I gotta do up here?"

This was Jones first big week. Don’t know if the pre-season pick got to his head (likely not) but the offense is different at MSU this year.

Above photo only shows not a “tight clamp” in the air - not the state as all hit the ground. It could have gone either way - but on the field call likely made the difference.

I was rooting for your guys against Montana. If Dieffenbach had not sailed a couple of throws - things might have worked out differently. It’s tough to play in WaGriz and I think Poly tired in the last quarter or so.

Hmmmm. I guess you need points for eye test come possible playoffs, but normally you just run and take knees.

He’s actually a redshirt freshman, not true.

He doesn’t seem like a grab the bag of money guy. He is very mature.

You can really see Pinnick growing as the season progresses. Seems to be getting more accurate with his passing and making good decisions.

Good to see Vargas get the first down

OK - now run it.

I’d say still pass for a first down - can’t burn much time if 3 and out.

Great sack!!

No defensive resistance.

Now kick the “$&?! Ball into or out of the end zone.

Big momentum shift with fumble. Need a turnover.

if you have outstanding tacklers and a great scheme - maybe. But kicking the ball into the end zone works every time. Today’s kickers should vibe able to do that. I am not sure that the special teams coach is scheming a short kick.

Gonna have to score 2 more tds.

ridiculous. Recruit a kick who can kick it out of the end zone.

Great read by Pinnick in the end zone. I thought he was throwing it away to avoid a sack.

OK- need another TD.
