movielover:None. Only remember Hunter Rodriguez looking pretty good I thought at Stanford. Seems like it would be good for him to add a bit of weight - looks kind of skinny to me. A QB that could run a bit could be helpful and add a dimension although getting carried away with running risks injury. There seemed to be a boatload if QB injuries this year (read an article somewhere) and most of those were QBs that ran a fair amount as I recall.

. and that was inflated. I watched the game and even the home stands were sparse. No rain during game but forecast would have scared some off.

Of all the playoff games, Montana State had the most - but not capacity. Even Montana was only about 80% and South Dakota State had poor turnout (30 degrees I think). Fargo Dome looked about 90% of capacity. It seems the playoff games are not nearly as popular as the traditional rivalry games. Kind of unfortunate.

Sac missed short field goal to remain scoreless. Embarrassing performance on national tv.

No. Just looking very out of sorts. His best receiver, Williams is out after getting injured in causeway, but he is way off in his throws. Frankly Sac looks awful. Austin Peay has something to do with it. I knew Sac would have their hands full but it has been total domination so far.

no Thompson in all the time - that is one of Sac’s problems.

Sac getting their hats handed to them. Out-executed and out-coached. Maybe Taylor thinking of coaching offers. 21-0 Peay after 1 quarter.

295 - 60 total yards at half. Sac looks completely lost and acting like they don’t even want to be there. Thompson passing not close - looks befuddled.

Well two blowouts for the Montana schools and a close call for Weber. Kennesaw a much better team since their first string QB went down, but Weber D did enough. James Madison looks scary.

Makes sense. I know Jacksonville was crappy this year even by Pioneer league standards. The blue hose of Presbyterian have been foundering for years in Southern Conference so essentially a dropping down for them.

Southern and NEC weak sister conference out of the picture after week 1. Both Southern conference teams lost. Still believe big sky is strongest league overall.

I saw that in a reply too. Then the coach goes on to say that “we are not that team and the player is not that kind of player” - well to keep in present tense I would say evidently you are. How about saying “we will correct this” and then do it.

San Diego’s D played admirably, and UNI mistakes were plentiful (many dropped passes) but they could absolutely not move the ball on UNI. UNI much bigger and faster. I sure UNI thought they were going to win much more easily than they did.

Sac is going to have its hands full with AP. Their cheer is “let’s go Peay”

Seriously, I watched some of the game and they manhandled Furman.

if I were a Poly fan (and obviously I am not) I would want the new HC to move away from the TO. Dive the left, keep to the right, stand up, sit down, fight -fight-fight gets real old to watch and I don’t think potential recruits are going to want to be in a system like that - certainly receivers, QBs, and skill position types. Most teams that run TO are service academies and the line who cannot recruit the top talent and rely on executing an offense most others teams see only once a year. It will be interesting to see who they hire and what kind of offense they intend to run.

I remember that game. I think we had a Maverick band there. Moroski was masterful. As I recall that is when Brian Buckley really bulked up at linebacker. Helped with his fastball on the baseball team.

Big Sky has the strongest teams as a collective. Illinois State of MVFC started tanking the last third of their season and lost to a declining Youngstown State team and scored only 3 points. They will be dispatched early. SDSU down from last year and lost to South Dakota last game. Their fate will depend on return (or not) of their QB Jabore Gibbs.

your right - now that I think about it Brown was terrible at hoops. Your smack is well placed. Don’t know about Riley’s whereabouts. He had a really good over the top curve ball.

To be honest haven’t followed baseball at UCD since I left. Shows the strong bond the band-uh had with the football team back them. That’s really where my loyalty to Aggie football stems from.

Santa Clara was D2. They had some good years (I remember them beating UOP with Dan Pastorini at a high school band day) but they weren’t the caliber of competition as now. UOP wins were good, but again even though UOP was D1, they weren’t substantially superior athletically.

Didn’t watch much of the game but looking at stats Sac had a bunch of rushing yards and the Ags very little.

As for the season, I would say that every team the Aggies lost to was better except for North Dakota. I think things would have been different with a healthy Tehran Thomas and Crawford. It seems like the last half of the season, other than Portland State, receivers just did not get a lot of separation. Thomas would have added another dimension and let Gilliam rest a bit - Gilliam is very, very good but can’t be expected to carry the team all the time.

I actually thought defense played fairly well especially these last few games. Can’t win if you can’t score.

31-7 MSU.
