Last time I remember playing them at home they came in 10-0 and scored with a minute left to take the lead. We then scored quickly and shut them out of the playoffs — PortlandAggie

Maybe the game I was thinking of was in SD. They had a dynamite QB (Truillo ?) , ha, but glad we didn't play them this year!

Have we played San Diego before? — movielover

Yes. I think we are leading them, but I will never forget them coming to Davis and beating us in the new stadium. Harbaugh might have been the coach. They had a first class QB who could really laser the ball where he wanted.

EWU tries to lateral their way to the end zone but come up short... devastating loss for the Eagles. It will be James Madison and Youngstown State going to Frisco to battle it out for the championship. — CA Forever

I thought EW was in total control, then it seemed the momentum started to shift. Both teams deserved to be there. But YSU just kept grinding away. Success builds success. A team down on their luck might have just given up, but those guys kept plugging away, and made it happen. That endzone reception was incredible. I never saw it in any highlights which surprised me.

I love the SacBee headline: UC Davis women pound Sac State 110-78 in Causeway Cup — PortlandAggie

That caught my eye this morning as well. You just never see the Bee saying anything positive about UC Davis, and you never see them putting Slac down.

34-31 Youngstown. Momentum definetly shifting to them.

TD Youngstown, 31-27 EW

Reasonable comments. And the fact that we have not named the OC yet, is why I put out the link. He's in the neighborhood already. I must admit, I don't know much about him.

On the US national team, the offensive coordinator was Paul Wulff, current OC for Suc State. He was there with Tucker and Hawkins: https://usafootball.com/blogs/robert-tucker/post/10274/2015-u.s.-men%E2%80%99s-national-team-coaching-staff-announced-for-ifaf-world-championship-in-canton,-ohio-
And we know what he did for Suc last year.

And really so far that's all seemed to be the case with this staff -- he's pulling in veterans with a lot of experience and generally past histories of success on and off the field. If the criticism in regards to Coach Pete and BSU are true though then that implies to me that Speckman is going to have a lot of freedom to install the fly as little or much as he sees fit — Zander

Beyond what they end up doing with the offense, the Hawkins hire has generated tremendous excitement and support from alumni. While I don't know what the dollar figure is, to have all the assistants paid through donor contributions is huge. And collectively, these guys have a tremendous amount of football knowledge. They are not going to implement a pop warner offense that can not work at this level. After all, THIS IS DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL, lol.

They will not be stumped. This reminds me a lot of my days at UCD with Biggs, Arp, Lou, Moroski and the rest with 10-20+ years each. — Bige70

Amen to that. I remember games with Sochor (as a fan, not player) where we were loosing at half. We would sit back and wonder what the "old fox" had up his sleeve for the second half. He rarely got out coached. This is one area that has "befuddled" me during the Gould era. Seems like we would be competitive in a lot of games for one half, then get out foxed in the second.

Directv channel 790. Great picture.

well, i'm all for something different. It appears this offense does not rely on big guys to create holes, but oppotunity to find slots opening up from the spread. Why isnt it more popular if it works?

My concern is lots of opportunities for fumbles, but I guess that's where coaching comes in.

maybe an option QB?

i had the same thought. It seems we are on the road to success.

and who is going to break the news to Mrs. Dr. Mike, no more bossy cow cow!

Interesting choice. He doesn't stand out in my mind as an elite coach, but he certainly has worked as an assistant to several high end coaches.

When I think back about 2014-2015 and this last season, in many of the games we lost, we either were leading at half time or still in the game. But Gould got out coached with adjustments nearly every game by the opposing team. I don't believe we will see that happen with Hawk. I am full of anticipation for spring training and next season. I just might have to plan a trip down to San Diego to see the inaugural game.
