Yep, great season.

Our big fire last year in Santa Rosa had N Easterly winds. Minutes before the Camp fire started I was waiting for the bus in Santa Rosa and thought this is fire wind.

Their pattern this year is to be really tough to run on,
The real surprise was we couldn’t get anything going through the air. Multiple passes into double and triple covered receivers. I watched the first 3 and a half quarters and there were few plays to an open receiver.
Our defense also disrupted their offense but when their plays broke down they were able to improvise something. We need more speed on defense. We had guys chasing a QBs they couldn’t catch up to.

Anybody else miss having final stats pdf on the web site? With what’s up there now with a mobile device I can’t even find out who fumbled in the fourth quarter. Also ESPN is without stats.

I’m mostly surprised we couldn’t put a drive together. Take away TT and UG long runs and there was not much else.
Probably playing in a freezer had an effect. No pretty offense today

That and the athleticism turning nothing into something on their side

Their defensive line is breaking up the run and the jet sweeps by getting benetration.
When we throw downfield it’s been covered.
Hope Harrell only had wins knocked out by falling on the ball

Last few TDs for TT pretty much untouched. Hasn’t had to run through anybody. Hope we see that next!

I hope th Ags have the right shoes for slushy Turf

Sad for your boy, but glad to have your opinions

The various picks basically comes down to the weight you put on blowouts. EWU certainly has games with large point differentials. The computer ranking systems like Sagarin rank them higher than UCD because they’re based on pure points. The systems that factor in wins like the commitee’s limit impact after 21 point differential and also factor in wins with a bonus for an FBS win and hence favor us. Human appraisals are influence by similar considerations, just more arbitrarily applied.

He’s probably right about the more desperate team. I hope they feel the pressure. Both teams have played equivalent schedules. Difference is they lost one more than we did. One of the bright spots for Davis is our very young offensive line which gets better with experience,

I’m suspecting the crowd will be more into it than say Cal Poly and other teams we’ve played on the road this year.

Very insightful. Hope you are right about comparable to NAU an Montana,
It’s encouraging that we scored three first quarter touchdowns against NAU, as that seem like a defense that would match up well against us. Hopefully we saw NAU best effort. I know we saw Montana’s best effort, they were fired up.

He’s listed in the roster portion of the same document as 245.
It’s not that we can’t figure out his weight, it’s that they don’t care that they have the same typo in nine iterations of game notes.

At least he’s not obscured by fog !

This is the best FCS offensive team we’ve faced except for possibly Idaho State.
And probably the best FCS defense we’ve faced.
And this is in the second most adverse environment trailing only Montana. Add those together and it’s quite a challenge.
Possibly offsetting that, we are clearly the best offense they’ve faced and their young QB hasn’t won a game against a defense as good as ours.
All in all a very unpredictable meeting of two potentially explosive teams. I think either team might blow out the other. I can see almost anything happening except a low scoring game. If it is low scoring I think they win. A low scoring game implies they can contain our offense and I think they are too athletic for us to shut down completely.

In case anyone is interested in the game notes they are in the site but not visable on the football home page. You have to go through additional links -> game notes
I think they should be embarrassed that the notes depth chart still list Ocansey’s weight as 2345 lbs as they have done the previous 9 weeks.

Good question. One of the distinctive features of being a Davis fan is that information is scarce.

I don’t see why they would change much from his last couple of games in which they had him throw about 40 times each.
We’re not showing that we are incapable of stopping the run, by today’s standards. We’re 4th best in the Big Sky in rushing defense yards allowed and 3rd best yards per carry. Sure that’s still giving up four yards each but I don’t think they’ll see that as the primary way to attack us,
