Well, we finally started scoring in the second half and from the red zone. Maybe our best game of the season. Very proud of the fellas and coaches for responding with a great game plan. Where has Winston Wilson been? I had to look him up on the program after that huge play.
I left in the closing seconds. Did the PSU coach shake Hawkins hand?

Thank you for what you’ve done in the past.

Lets win out. It starts today!

Maybe if Hawk wore his pirate attire they wouldn’t have recognized him, lol.

It was fun. I had a nice visit with Coach Les and a few of the players. It was a packed house, more people than what I’ve seen for football. The reoccurring theme for both teams was bringing home a championship. All the student athletes were impressive. It’s obvious there is good chemistry on both teams.

After they were calling for rain at game time, the forecast is looking better.

“ The Viks are flying sky high right now, their QB is turning into a remarkable playmaker.”
Not only their QB, but they have a kick rear RB, Jobi Malary, who ran for 241 yards and 6 TDs against EWU.

Will do. I’m looking forward to BB as well.

Wife and i will be. We always enjoy it. They do this one a little different than football, maybe bc there are fewer players. Its enjoyable to hear each player introduce themselves and learn something about them. But I’m never lucky on the raffle, lol.

Yeah, i picked up on that as well regarding fatigue. For some reason in years past the altitude was not “that” problematic for us. But LL and TT both may not have been able to work as hard as normal considering they are both nursing injuries.

Ws would be nice. I think we all have greater aspirations than a 6-5 team. At some point it just seems like you have to shake things up to get the desired outcome. As an example, when i was commuting on the train to the bay area, i developed a friendship with this guy who was an executive problem solver. He would be hired as a temp CEO to turn around companies that were failing. He was a good coach and mentor, but expected excellence if you were going to stay on the team.
Back to football, at some point in a loosing season you need to try something different. Maybe a few different linemen, a young RB or receiver, and yes, a different QB. Put some new talent in there and open it back up for competition to earn that starting position. This might bring back the “best” in players.
In the presser, Hawk mentioned the defensive adjustments necessary to deal with a dual threat QB. Well, thats one less thing our opponents have to worry about.

Well, coach was his philosophical self in pirate attire.

“ A bigger concern for me is the future. It's not all on the QB, but are we doomed to mediocrity for two years if we stick with our current QB. And Hawkins doesn't split time, so how does a backup get experience?”

On the thought on QBs moving forward, Hawkins usually says something about QB play at the news conference, which might be today. But his usual comment is to blame himself, protection for the QB, or innovative play calling. I’m interested to hear what he has to say about Saturday’s total clusterxxxx.

“ ↪agalum Or David Razor. He could play in each game and still redshirt,”

I had to look David Rasor up. He was mentioned in the QB preseason . Looks promising.

Well, after that game, there’s a good chance we go 4-7. SLAC had their second string QB in for the second half and he threw for around 250 yards. And he’s got a nice long ball.
We have a young coaching staff and few game changers. With a QB who just wont (or can’t) scramble, we become very predictable. Hastings net season rushing is -32 yards. Should we give Harper a shot? He can scramble.

4 picks

Either go for broke or go home with your tail between your legs. What’s happened to our Aggies?

That could easily have been a pick.

Hard to blame Hastings on that one. Our receiver had it stripped.

Another terrible endzone pass

Total yards, 344 - 144
