Good idea if the novelty doesn’t wear off. What ever athletics did for this game worked. Keep it up.

Or play the radio broadcast on your car stereo off your phone.

For those who attended the game, what are your thoughts on the new PA announcer? I thought he was terrible. Monotone, no excitement, seemed like he was taking a beta blocker. Surely we can do better. Livingston, who was running the show on the sidelines, would bring some energy into the mic.

Teddye Buchanan got ejected for targeting and, unfortunately, he will have to sit out the first half of the Weber game.

From the replays at the stadium, it didn’t even look like a penalty. I thought it was a total BS call. What were the announcers saying about it with their replay analysis?

Do these predictions take into account home vs visitor status?

I really thought we were going to see some action from some of the other QBs. They were warming up Dixon, who is a 6’4” freshman. No clue why HR stayed in.

Against Tulsa and SD we got our yards through the air. Dixie it was our ground attack. Seems like we take what we can get. Weber is balanced offensively, but we know they always have a tough D.

Not sure, but on their boards there is chatter that they started the wrong qb against JM. Several posters don’t think they are a top 25 team. They will be hungry when we get there. Right now the weather looks to be nice, ~80.

Dixie was a different team with the new QB. We had a tough time getting to him without blitzes. Hard to complain about 60 points, but we looked flat on both sides. HR had pressure, but several of his tosses were off the mark. I do think Dixie had some good DBs.

That’s a game i want to watch on replay. Bulldogs might have a team this year.

Huge crowd, no doubt a sellout

Their QB rotation seems to be #10 for short passes and runs and #12 for longer passes. 35-13 third quarter.

14-6 cal end of first

7-6 Cal 1st quarter. J street put together a good drive for 6, failed on 2 point conversion.

From every weather forecast I’ve seen Saturday should be a near perfect weather day for football. Might even need a light coat in the evening.
We drove into Davis today for lunch with some out of state friends who are visiting. Yep, the students are back in force. Seeing parents walking with their freshman kids and all the food venues packed with customers was refreshing to see.

As i said earlier, their QB is a real bruiser. When he turns it down field he’s not sliding, he’s running through guys and dragging them. We need to jump on them and get them out of their game plan. Win the toss? Take the ball.

I was really surprised that we didn’t get more yards on the ground. We have the talent, maybe the defense wanted to force us into passing situations? And possibly thats not such a good idea :).

People's roles are a subject I think would best be served with its own message board topic. Perhaps I or someone else will do that today.
We actually had a separate thread on this years ago. As i recall it was a good discussion. A new thread sounds like a good idea. Bob Dunning seems to think poor student attendance is the result of being FCS.

“ #2 – No “Offense”, But…

There’s no denying that the Trailblazer offense has struggled to put up points on the board. DSU has been outscored 60-10 this season which means they have only reached the end zone just once this season. Compared to last season, DSU had put up 55 points through their first two games. If a team fails to score and score frequently, it is difficult to win football games. Again, the level of competition is far higher than DSU has ever played before, but it’s hard to believe this is what they’d hope to see offensively this season.”

A win against Weber and EWU would be nice, but if I had to pick one it would be EWU. And their coach- yuck. Reminds me of Mattos.
