I semi disagree with most of the above comments. But some points are probably worth looking into. I don’t think that Larison was over used in this game. He was having a career game and he deserved to stay in the game. He was never going to ask for a rest under those circumstances. In terms of the RB depth situation who could have predicted we would lose our two best RBs in the first four games of the season? We do have backups who can carry the ball. Our new OC is somewhat conservative with the passing game which is very consistent with our once powerful running game. Why call for a risky pass play when you have a Larison who can pick up 7 yard a carry. Now I agree things have to change and now we get to see if we have a coaching staff who can deal with this adversity. And adjust. I know Hawk is sitting with his coaches and working out a new plan right now. All this is just part of the game of football and I am optimistic that the Ags will come back next week. And maybe get Tompkins a little more involved in every aspect of the game.

Move Tompkins to RB? Just a little idea to think about.

Meanwhile LLs MRI watch. I am both hopeful and doubtful. I really love that kid. Fingers double crossed.

Chris Carter anyone? Biggest homey call ever.

I agree but it was a hard game to watch. Stomach churning game. Glad we got the win.

I think that this is really where good coaching comes in. Don’t let this game get into your head. Yes, we lost big to a ranked team but we did okay. Let’s move on and put this behind us and I think Hawkins has the personality to do this. This is the very hard work of coaching an athletic team in any sport. Just come back stronger!

What if Larison takes a direct snap and then throws a deep one? Fun times. . . Or Tompkins gets a late hand off around the corner. More fun.

At the presser, Hawk seemed pretty upbeat about the OSU game, but as he said OSU may actually be a top 10 team. I don’t think the Aggies have ever faced a team this good. Absolutely no weakness that i could discern.

Buckhorn used to have the best looking Russian women with kids behind the space doing the sales. At the park. She was awesome. I think davis has a substantial Russian population with all the academic people too.),

Sorry to follow, but i just saw that the buckhorn restaurant which was and is for me a favored place at the famers market in davis and obviously is the only place to go in winters is now a sponsored company for sac state. I simply cannot understand this.

Given the current state of affairs in the FBS what university (out side of the Deep South) would want to go there? Frankly I wonder if college football as we now know it will even be around in a few years.

Has no idea

So, Ron Gould out of a job now. Teresa Gould soon to be as well. The sad human side of all of this is often overlooked. I would think Teresa would land on her feet OK, but for Ron it may be much harder. Riches to rags kind of story. I wish them well.

If we just don’t make any big mistakes we should be fine. Do not underestimate TAMC! They are a good football team and will come out fired up before a big crowd. It will be a very close game. IMHO

Wow! To beat two very good programs is great to say the least. Aggies and BWC looking very strong so far.

Looks like there’s something really good going on here. This is a team with mostly sophomore and freshman with a few junior players. Excellent first two games against power 5 schools.

I did look at sac’s football website and they do look pretty formidable. They are using the
Portal very effectively. But don’t all football websites look formidable. TAMC’s is actually quite scary so we will see ery soon.

These running backs are all in the perfect size range plus or minus a bit. Look at Christian Maccaffery of the forty Niners. 5’11 and 210 lbs who is not a very big RB for the NFL bit he is extremely talented because he is so agile. Larison could be that guy for us. I hope he eats like Maccaffery because the guy has an amazing dietary regime. Look it up. Could work for us? No sugary foods. No alcohol. A lot of water and vegetables.

Just go shower then to bed. No more mickeys.
Tomorrow we’re all going to be good to go. No more newsoms, no more Texas no more political crap. This is a Aggie sports talk post! That’s it!

Boy. Dr mike. AggieFinn2. You are trying to make the first Aggie football game of 2023 into clash of political issues (Texas versus California)? Seems like you actually Are rooting for the Texas team.
Cool off. Maybe take a shower. politics has no place in this thread. Shame for introducing this political issue onto this forum. Actually it is Newson not Newton. I thought you guys went to UCD and got an educational. Weird.
