Totton isn’t a recent injury, he last played at Cal Poly.
In addition to Totton and Colfield, Davis had other sought after freshmen DBs. I somewhere got the impression that a couple of them were injured pre-season. Two three star recruits, JJ Cravin, and Albert Richardson have not played in any games.

For the statistics to mean anything we have to know who is playing. We've had mention of two starting receivers and a running back being injured, and a dire DB situation. If thats true than statistics are for a different team. Up until last week Davis was clearly better defending running plays, one of the lowest yards per carry average in the conference. After last week, they are pretty middling against both run and pass.

I like Davis' chances if we have the players listed in this weeks 2 deep on D. Thats everyone that started the first three games of the season except the Connor twins.

If Pinnick is a redshirt freshman, Acia is a redshirt sophomore

The depth chart is updated from last week to this week.
Last week they had Josh Allen starting at one corner and backing up both safeties and nickel.

This week they have Ty Richardson at the corner opposite Colfield, backed up by Trey Carr.Josh Allen is number two at nickel and both safeties, not listed at corner.
Trey Carr has appeared in the last two games and is #2 at both corners, Richardson played against Idaho State,
Marquis Bell broke a bone in his forearm.

The good news is the depth chart published for this weeks game doesn't have any new deletions.

Idaho was terrible when Wood missed the Northern Colorado and Eastern Washington games. Surprisingly so because two backups had played effectively last year. Their win streak started when Wood returned, not coincidence.

I am also pessimistic about the guys being unavailable on offense.
I think Plough plays fewer players than we did under Hawkins, and the lack of experienced depth hits at a bad time.

What station is the radio broadcast ?

“Listen to the game” link on Davis gameday is the Kings game

Ty Richardson started after missing a bunch of games

The volume is definitely low if you listen with a mobile device. Needs a library like environment.

FBS losses are.discounted.. Idaho's win over NAU would have more weight, if it was between those two. And for Idaho to end the season with no more losses they would have beaten Davis giving them, a better win. Long shot for Idaho but they can make the playoffs of they win out, beating both Davis and Sac along with Idaho State. They would be 7-3 against FCS opponents

I was hoping Idaho would be out of playoff contention before we play them, I've been rooting against them ever since the Spuds in their Tubs podcast said they were in a higher tier than Davis last year.

Spread would be larger except for uncertainty about Pinnick.

In regards to transfer difficulty, many of the FCS schools are vocationally oriented. I don’t mean that as a negative but that’s not what UCD does.
If your major is Hospitality and Tourism there aren’t courses that map to that at Davis. If there is no UC equivalent course then it likely won’t get credit. Also UC assumes Math begins with pre-calculus. Other schools will give credit for Algebra and Trig. So depending on whether someone took traditional academic coursework or not they may lose a significant number of units transferring.

There is an aggie pride podcast posted.that previews the game and then has an interview with Jayden Stanley.
Brock at one point says something along the lines of this isn't the Lan Larison three yards and a cloud of dust offense of Cody's last year as OC at Davis. This is incorrect, in Cody Hawkin's last season Lan was behind Ulonzo and playing a lot of wide receiver, and the team was high scoring. The next year Mike Cody was the OC and the offense took a step back. Mike Cody's offense was better at running the ball though according.to Lan Larison, teams get good at what they do.

Early in the season I recall Scott Marsh saying that they were targeting Fisher getting about three carries for every two for Vargas, but if that was ever the idea it's been discarded. Fisher has one more carry than Vargas in conference games. Who decided who is in the game.when ? I assume they both practice the same plays.

A few freshmen on this year's team reportedly had Ivy offers, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Princeton.
2 linebackers, 2 wide receivers, a tight end.
Not saying that is the major competitor , the Mountain West is.

And they often compete with Davis in recruiting, more so than the Big Sky schools.

Davis’ academic reputation is rare at the FCS level but less rare among FBS schools.
Davis objectively doesn’t have an academic edge over Cal, UCLA, Stanford, Washington, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Duke, North Carolina etc.

The game notes don’t list Marquis Bell at CB. Josiah Allen is listed at that CB and as the backup at both safeties and nickel. DB has gone from the deepest level of the defense to the thinnest.
We had some other highly rated freshmen beside Colfield but i guess they have been injured. Trey Carr just got back for the last two games.
