That would be different. Babb wasn’t listed on the spring roster for some reason. Speaking of fairly large wide receivers, did they mention Logan Kraut, the transfer from Arizona?

who was misidentified as a tight end? Babb?

I get the virtue signaling component of them scheduling 2 HBCUs,

Thanks for the post.
Gale should be a redshirt freshman. 2020 was a free year and he only played four games in 2021.
Nice that Kraft played; he’s had some injury challenges.
Sounds like there were a lot of plays in Newman’s drive, considering it ended with a 75 yard strike. That guy has been playing college football for quite awhile. I guess Newman’s only a junior. Wasn't sure about that since he
Graduated high school in 2017.

It’s lack of content not technology. They don’t create content. One piece on first day of spring pactice An that basically two players saying it was great o be back practicing.

I hear you. But even without technology there should be some PR, journalism, interview etc coming out of a month of camp. Big drop off from pre COVID years.
UC Davis is covered only by a low circulation local newspaper that serves an area about 8 miles in diameter. It’s web content is all behind a paywall. So the team needs to produce some web content for itself.

University of Florida is out of our league but maybe they could do as good a job as UNC or Idaho State. Maybe that’s too high a bar.

I would guess that Davis is the only Big Sky program that didn’t have a single story on their official website about spring practice.
There has been a distinct decrease in stories on the site. Tweets don’t make up for it.
They may think they don’t need to publicize because of all the great local media coverage.

I hope so. The fact that there is such a stigma to playing an FCS opponent is pretty weird. UCLA is certainly a storied program but they haven’t been USC equivalent.

The historically black colleges and the Ivy’s are a class of their own until they start playing in the playoffs.

I think defensive end is a position we really need someone to step up at. I notice that Luka Nixon isn’t on the roster; he looked like he was really coming on as a player but then was beset with injuries.

I’m hoping our defense can be better. it seems we have quite a few good players and good depth all around, but the results have been average at best. We’re over 100 yards a game worse than the top three defenses in our league and we were next to last in defensive yards per rush at 5 yards a carry.

I notice that Tattersall isn’t here for spring. I suppose he’s finishing the semester at Cal. I don’t recall that I’ve seen what his academic standing is, is he graduating from Cal, and coming here as a grad student?

Good catch.

yes, that’s right. But they tore the 59000 seat stadium down and replaced it with a 10,000 seat one, so it’s not the cavernous place in the movie.

Kezar Stadium now has about the same capacity as Aggie field.
What a historic place. Home field at different times for USF, Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara, the 49ers and the Raiders.

Kezar stadium has fresher air.

I hope he is given the opportunity to have input. We certainly have a few experienced veteran coaches on offense.
The offensive line was coached last year by a coach who moved up from a lower level of football. We might need some mentorship there.

Impressive that CCSF won three mythical national titles while he was offensive coordinator. At CCSF they had exceptional stability in the coaching staff Allen spent the first 25 years there with the same head coach. WSU was the opposite this last year with half the coaching staff and his friend, the head coach, getting fired over the vaccination mandate mid season. They still had a decent season, amazingly.

We needed a wide receiver coach with all the new guys this year. He has impressive resume. I’m kind of curious about the offense CCSF ran when he was offensive coordinator. He’s been associated with Nick Rolovich who has favored the run and shoot for years but I’m guessing that wasn’t CCSFs offense.
