Question For any basketball and other sportsfans out there ( I don’t follow].
Assuming we couldn’t get a deal like Hawaii and join as a football only member.
Is the Mountain West much better than the Big West? Would changing the football classification have any effect on other sports that are already D1 ? Do you think more or better athletes would join a Mountain West team in sports other than football. Aside from the negative of the increased travel are there any positives?

NAU freshman QB Martinez has made a difference.. 9 touchdowns one interception second best efficiency and third best yardage per game in BigSky.

At this point of the season season rankings by computer should not reflect last year. There is enough data from this year.
Sam Houston was lucky as hell to win their game against 3-3 unranked SFA. Any poll that doesn’t have NDSU and EWU ranked as top 2 is doing it wrong
And I agree 100% about Sac. They really use the two QBs as an advantage, I’m jealous.

I think Sam Houston State is over rated there. They haven’t played as tough a schedule as Eastern Washington, Eastern offense totally dominant, number 1 in FCS , and Eastern has two more wins.

Total Defense # 80
Total Offense # 26
don’t really square with being a top 20 team, but scoring defense #14 does

Sagarin ratings.
132 Weber State 56.72

134 Sac State 55.60
135 Arizona 55.42

Close grouping

Have we played a class of 21 recruit a single down? On special teams? First year where we haven’t given players any experience since freshmen were allowed to play 4 games without using eligibility.

Should they try Darius Livingston as color commentor on radio /tv?

On defense we let a team a that was averaging under three yards a rush get 4.4.
We stop a good share of the runs near the line of scrimmage , and seem to defend the edge fairly well but runners get a lot of yards after contact if they get through the initial hole.
Passing game would be ok if we didn’t have the two interceptions. One was caused by trying to throw with no room the other was tipped by a lineman. Can’t judge Rodrigues harshly for the second.
I think we need to be a run heavy team. Its odd that our linemen who’ve been pass blocking for years seem better at run blocking now.

Let’s see our freshman running back

And. Guard

Anyone notice who is playing offensive tackle for us? Did either of the starters come back, not that they were distinguishing themselves
I see Rachow and Banks

Who’s playing on our o line after Lamson and Amoah injuries ?

He needs a partner who will correct him

How many weeks will he say Buchanan is an Oregon state transfer?

Now we know how to beat these guys

By today’s standards our offensive line is a little light. And most have lost weight over the years.

Not many plays in that drive

Their defense wasn’t even a speed bump for EW

Cody is the QB coach as well so he’s not having a good stretch
