Someone said Larison might get us in the playoffs and I agree. He is a great talent, a charismatic rodeo guy with ties to Idaho and a very good RB. I say UCD vs. Idaho in the first round. Will
Put some of that juice into a normally pretty boring early playoff game for the TV folks. But, my football predictions are far from being accurate I must say these days.
But very good game for the Aggies today. I think it was a very impressively coached game for us.

I think that UC Davis is a very tough school to recruit to mostly because of its reputation for being so academically strenuous. My daughter spent a year at sac city before transferring to UC Davis. Her counselor at sac city actually told her that davis was a very tough school as much so as Berkeley and to reconsider her decision. I realize we have the “special admits” thing going, but I have my doubts that we are using it efficiently. The academic senate has all along been very critical about its use. So, Insofar as the big sky is concerned, we are at a significant disadvantage recruiting against our conference foes and i don’t think Hawk is in any way to blame for it. On a positive note, it does seem we are now getting more 3 star guys now. Have no idea why.

Is this game on ESPN+?

Could someone post the replay as I was unable to watch the game?

Need something soon or forget the season. Hate to get down on the Hawk because I love him, but I cringed when he said this was the best Aggies team he has coached when that was totally unknown. And the thing opposing teams will tack on the board. Sad week for the Hawkins family but they are true veterans on this very difficult line of work. Love them to death……

Hawkins has to be thinking of someone else at QB at this point. After all the offense starts with the QB and he has been way off the last few games. I think maybe he has lost his confidence or our opponents have figured him out. Looks like he is stepping in wet cement in the backfield on passing plays. IMHO the new OC has bear some responsibility for the bad offensive performance of late.

I don’t think any team be it FBS FCS, or NFL now posts it’s starting line up much less it’s injury report or it’s “starting line up”. Or depth chart. Why give up this information just for the media?

Shoulder issue. Ice and tape it up for the game. I love this guy and have always.

I think LL is out for some time. We have other injuries as well. We can deal with that as all teams do. Our backup RBs did very well against a weak defense but they played well. My hope is that TT is OK. He really is the main running game threat we have. By my observations I think he suffered an upper extremity injury which is much less debilitating than LLs knee issues. TT is a very tough player and i would give it 50-50 that he will play next week.

Maybe bringing in Marsharoni is a good idea at WR. They probably want to RS him, but hey, when in need adapt. Big size is what we need.

Someone once said that these kinds of games are coaches games because both teams are either beat up physically or demoralized emotionally Let’s see who comes out of this situation first. Ags by 1. I love both of these teams a lot.

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.),
