Might need to go with some screens to counteract the rush adjustment cal has made.

Defense has looked excellent. That is always a key for a good season.

YEs. I I have never understood why you don’t blast the kickoff deep into the end zone. Maybe our kicker doesn’t have the leg.

last play LL has was waltzing into end zone so I am sure just getting a breather.

Guessing Larison is getting a breather.

GOT to get a kicker who kicks it through the end zone!

David Meyers is doing great.

Kicking is so important - Just a duck hook

Poetic justice!

Portland State strikes first. 7-0 over Washington State after one possession each.

Well that didn’t last long.

yes, very undisciplined. Kept Stanford in the game.

He doesn’t have the players yet … if ever. TCU had numerous studs as tight ends and receivers that made the difference.

Bennett makes some bad decisions and seems to be somewhat of a head case at times that partially, at least, negates his upside. Sac’s defensive backfield seemed to be their weak spot in this game.

Western Carolina retakes the lead 20-17 with 4 minutes to go in 3rd quarter. Would be huge upset - much bigger than Montana State’s

…. and again. Don’t think it will hold but it shows that a cool and experienced QB is a big factor.

Western Carolina (future opponent of Montana) plays NC State tonight with temp at kickoff in upper 80s and dewpoint of 72 (ugly). Western just missed the playoffs last year and supposedly has a very good qb. State will most likely handle them quite easily but I will check it out on TV (ACC network).

Agreed ….. just noting the bias toward the Stanford win early in the season.

Let’s hope a Sac State win doesn’t distort the playoff committee as much as it did last year. If Sac had lost to Stanford (even by only a point) I am sure the Aggies would have been in the playoffs and not Sac.

Gale was quite impressive (to me at least) a couple of years ago with a couple big catches. He simply ran away from defensive backs forTDs. But he was lighter then. With added weight to bulk up to a more typical tight end weight, I would guess that might have slowed him down a bit. I kind of wonder if his contribution might have been better as a wide receiver (speed and a big frame) sort of like the Janke twins as SDSU.

RE: game notes

- Can’t seem to spell Lehigh correctly (transfer punter).
-Griz is a registered trademark with one “z” not two. Those Montana fans can get riled up quite easily.
-team and stadium information headers have no spaces between words.
-had to chuckle at “Just call us UC Davis” section in which they stipulate “no hyphens, periods or other forms of punctuation” when the document is rife with incorrect or inconsistent punctuation such as ellipses being used instead of periods for complete sentences, and inconsistent capitalization for first words in “by the numbers section” list entries. Also, I am wondering what an agate is besides a stone, as in “UCD is acceptable for agate”.

I stopped at page 5 with my edits. Doesn’t anyone edit these things? I’d do it for no charge, or maybe an have an English major or faculty member put a set of eyes on it? I suspect any and all errors will be pushed into subsequent editions. A bit embarrassing for an institution that prides itself in its academics?
I am perhaps too picky (just ask my wife).
