More likely than not that they’ll be 9-3.
They are said in the post by BlueGoldAg to have a 98% chance of winning against Northern Colorado, Since none of this is known to 2 significant figures we can ignore the probability of them losing that game.

Everyone likes Fisher from the little we've seen of him. He actually had almost as much game experience as Perez coming into this season, so they don't have that as an excuse.

The probability of Davis losing all three games given those probabilities of losing each of those game is 25%. (.69 * .70 * .52)
So Massey is predicting there is a 75% likelihood Davis will be 9-3 or better.

Eastern knocking of Montana State would be a good thing because Eastern isn’t going to be competitive as far as a playoff spot is concerned. A loss for MSU in that game enhances the possibility that Davis wins the conference title.
But you don’t want Sac or Montana, two teams whose seasons are going to be compared with Davis for playoff bids or seedings to beat MSU if Davis doesn’t.

Montana State faces Eastern Washington on Nov. 2nd.

Hawaii is in a bigger pond, both geographically and in football level.

The Dakota and Montana teams benefit from no higher level football in their states. Governors go to their games. They are the biggest fish in a small pond, so that gives them a base of support. In most states the sport coverage focuses on higher levels.

Who would have guessed that the bottom 3 Big Sky defenses for points per game allowed in conference games at this point would be Sacramento (39.0), Montana (41.3) and Eastern Washington (42.7)?
Davis is giving up 25, third best, but the conference teams they’ve played with the exception of Eastern Washington are in the lower half of the conference in scoring.

The most common coach perspective is that everything that happens is under the control of his team and they only build up the opponent before the game.

My favorite play was CJ Hutton’s 40 yard run, where he just ran squarely into a safety 15 yards down field , bounced off him and then continued another 25 yards for a touchdown. Hutton runs like a running back.

I think so. As a freshman Toki was listed as an offensive lineman, and he’s played on field goals as a lineman but I don’t believe he was ever in the backfield. Chubba did that last year.

Who started at corner in place of Alexander?
Live stats link is broke.

Just going by guys who haven’t played, recently the team has been without backup defensive ends Carrillo and Carrade, linebacker Garretson , cornerbacks Verner and McWilliams.
They played Antzoulatos, Sarac, and Cloyd st Garreton’s spot so they appear ok there.
They got some good play from Newman and Masui as reserve defensive ends, but those guys are a fall off as far as pass rush from Carrillo and Carrade.
Alexander, last years starter at cornerback played Verner and McWilliams position.

What if anything have you heard about the status of Verner or McWilliams?

Seems impractical with all different helmets. If Davis does it they should mention what the sticker signifies, great game, games played, games started or what. Maybe someone here knows.

The 105 scholarship limit is an attempt by the top conferences to restrict competition.There was a temporary need to increase the scholarships because of the extra year of eligibility, that need is about expired.
The top FBS teams will have sitting on their bench unused talent that used to be in conferences like the Mountain West. The top conference’s level of play will very marginally increase while lower level conferences talent and FCS will significantly decline, and not be as competitive for TV contracts.

No one cares about the student enrollment in bowl games. Haven’t heard anyone not wanting their school to play Notre Dame because they don’t have 10,000 undergrads.

Thanks. The totality of peoples contributions is worthy of mention.
Storage is cheap these days, they should retain the old rosters of players and coaches so people can look this stuff up. You can’t even find out who the coaches were in 2010.

Biggs the QB in 72 was a Little “All-American”. Davis was selected to go to Atlantic City to play in the Boardwalk bowl, inside the Atlantic City Convention hall, against Massachusetts . The dimensions allowed only shallow end zones and while Davis racked up lots of yardage they could only score 14 points because they couldn’t pass into the end zone,
Back then the offensive line was between 210 and 240 lbs, so when they played scholarship schools it was tough to run. Might have been the first game ever on TV for Davis, i don’t know.
Biggs graduated and then 1973 Jim Speck was a true Freshman QB, threw for 419 yards against Boise State at Toomey field, and Davis lost 32-31. Couldn’t get a pass rush against Boise’s much bigger line.

I was a student at Davis 72-74, and I remember Lou Bronzan as a player, but they never mention his playing career in the Hall of Fame release besides that he played. I think he had a prominent role although I don’t recall the details and there certainly were some memorable games in that period.
