and using another for a spy.

The start of this game looks like the last one in Pocatello.

Great game on ESPN+ Weber - Idaho for those of you that might have that. 28-21 Weber 7:00 to go 4th.

Idaho - Weber game interesting. 13-7 Idaho with 2:00 to go in half.

Edit: Weber 14 Idaho 13 with 0:47 left on half. Weber looking much better last couple games.

Ags were undefeated last time they came to Pokey. A very weird and disappointing result that day. Hope the Ags are focused and not flat like last time.

There was some talk on Montana YouTube channel that Sac players were arguing amongst themselves in the tunnel going into halftime and later half the team refusing to shake hands after the game despite Andy Thompson directing them to. I know Hauck can be a jerk but there may be some locker room disharmony going on with Sac.

in Idaho’s case it was their new coach. I don’t think their facilities are all that great.

yah. Ags have a better passing game than Weber - Weber even moved the ball against ISU with passing. Defense is the difference - that’s why Weber won. EWU got into a shootout with them and lost but EWUs defense is bad.

Weber had a good game plan for ISU. They put a lot of pressure on the QB (7 sacks). Idaho State doesn’t have much of a run game outside of Hayes (QB). Hayes is pretty much a one read guy then looks to run. His most effective running is up the middle and they use some QB draws with him. Cooke (starter) can sling it.

Weber used a 12 package a lot (1 back and 2 tight ends) that served both to protect their freshman QB and to bolster the run game. ISUs defense is suspect and I think a good run game helps to take time off the clock to keep their offense off the field. ISU can score fast - theirs is a high risk-high reward offense that struggles against good defenses.

that would be the prevailing thought, and maybe the “easy” one, but if you taken into consideration the factor of who is getting hot and who is fading, in the scenario of a UCD win out, I think the edge goes to the Aggies. Sac just got blown out and if Davis beats them that would be 3 losses in last 5 games and 4 of last 8 with an eke out win versus NAU. In addition a head to head loss with Davis to end the season. Of course I may be bias but I think there is some consideration for head to head and end of season performance in a W-L tie-breaker situation.

A bigger picture for the Aggies is jostling for playoff selection. I don’t think that the committee will select more than 4 big sky teams. Last year they only selected 5 to let Montana in - we know how that goes - and they won’t have to prop the door open for their favorite son this year as their record will be better.

So, in my view the Aggies are battling (indirectly this week and directly the last week) Sac State for that 4th spot. Sac State is very unlikely to lose to Poly, so the best realistic situation the Ags could end up with is 7-4 winning out to include a win over Sac which would be the same overall record as Sac, and
Hopefully a win over Sac as the final game would serve as a “tiebreaker”. Also Montana just trounced Sac and the Ags held it close. Of course the committee does whacky things and it gets political. Eastern has 5 losses and has to play Montana State so there is no way they would bump anybody.

All of this goes without saying that the Ags better take care of business in a Pocatello if they want the final game to have its potential meaning.

game sealer. Montana simply was not good at the beginning of the season but have really improved. I still think Montana State will beat them, especially if they use Chambers more. A mystery to me why they don’t get him in more.

Allowing 23 against Portland is not bad at all especially considering 6 points on absolute bomb field goals.

I am confident he will be drafted. He is a total athlete with a build the nfl will like. As good as he was, Gilliam suffered from being on the small size. I think Larison is a bit faster too. There are quite a few former FCS players in the NFL. If you are good, they will find you. The starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears last I knew is a former D2 player.

Good win. Good to see second half offense and defense did a good job again.

Good think they scored a TD and didn’t try a field goal. That extra point attempt was ugly.

Lan Larison is just a stud. Run blocking has improved and I think Portland State is getting tired.

He walked back so probably ok. Saschere looks like he pulled something on his shoulder on his last throw.

Unsportsmanlike is just unacceptable.

Gives them great field position.

Larison with some good blocking. Really needed a TD there.
