Hear hear! They record these press conferences at such low volume that i need a silent room to be able to catch most of it when played on an IPAD.

I don’t know why this color is labeled aqua. The color aqua is about equally green and blue. Remember the bumper stickers “Keep Tahoe Blue”…..the point is to not turn it green.

Our defense is loaded with guys who have a history of making plays. I think you are right that the defense will get better.

Allen made a impressive tackle against Washington, one of those low tackles where the ball carrier somersaults. Allen is kind of a bowling ball.
Marquis Bell started according to box score. I noticed him playing a lot.

#3 Ty Richardson injured in some way is my guess. . He is the D3 All American from Tufts. His brother was playing this week for USC, as a starting wide receiver. The announcers noted they don’t often say “a graduate of Tufts”
I hadn’t noticed Richardson was not playing. His place was taken by the transfer from Liberty

Porter was rotating in. This year they seem to play more people on defense than last year. Now the question is who steps into the rotation in place of Mayo, and how much does he play.

320 lb starting NG left game with injury, so that will be something to watch

I don’t know if it is a speed issue, but if it is it may be because players put on too much weight. Linebacker is one area where almost every player adds significant weight. Porter was listed as a DB two years ago at 210 lbs, he is now listed at 220 Rutchena weighed 220 when he started several games for Cal as a freshman, he is now listed at 240.

Brock
In listing the freshmen playing, you missed Rayne Mayo and David Porotesano, who are redshirt freshmen. Only Caden Pinnick is listed as a redshirt freshmen, of guys who aren’t transfers, but there are a few others. Jake Williams, Wrighster etc.

I wish they recorded these at higher volume.

The game looked like it was going to be a loss based on the ease with which they were rushing. It seemed more likely they would continue to get 10 yards a rush than Davis would continue to break big plays. Idaho, Sac State, and Montana all had impressive run games yesterday.

And i thought our team couldn’t tackle.

He got a helmet to the knee.

Idaho looked good against San Jose. Pretty dominant run game. They were hard for San Jose to stop on the ground but hurt themselves with penalties in their last possession.

Wall Street Journal. Employability of graduates factoring in cost.of tuition.
27 -21 Idaho.. after extra point 28-21

Lost 17-13 to a New Hampshire team that ended up being the top seed in the playoffs. Lost 14 to 12 to Portland for the sixth straight time over thirty year period, but only gave up 32 yards rushing in 30 carries. Then against Stanford the defense only gives up a field goal.

I was looking through old posts on this site for one that had some combine test results for Teddye, and others from before Teddye transferred, but I couldn’t find them. I remember noting that his vertical jump was just a few inches less than David Thompson who had the nickname Skywalker in the NBA; and Teddye weighed 235 lbs at the time.

Montana lets suite tenants stock the suite a few days before the game, according to their web site. That implies to me that drinks and food can be sourced outside. I think that is an important and desirable feature.

How luxurious will these suites be? The suite I was in the AT&T park in SF was nice, but not luxurious. It had a living room decor, a refrigerator, a counter, but the coolest feature was that the front of the suite had a box of stadium seating, so you could watch the game from there and feel the atmosphere. But it wouldn’t be that attractive without the event. I imagine the truly luxurious suites are mostly customized by lease owners.
