Are we detached from results?

I’m watching the Iowa - Iowa State game and the camera work is horendous. All tight shots away from the play, worst I’ve ever noticed. Not used to watching fox so i hope this isn’t typical

In recent years the defense has been good but not the best in the conference and prone to giving up big plays, and lots of yardage, and scores in the mid 20s. This year they have more of a pass rush, seem to have quality players everywhere so we should expect more, but so far defense still giving up big plays, sustained drives, and mid 20s scores, against average offenses. Not saying it might not all come together but it hasn’t.

FCS teams are getting picked apart too. Probably more so.
Davis has been an exception based on the value of a UC degree, but there will be fewer grad transfers now that COVID era players have aged out.

And Nevada. Natural and historical rival, within driving distance of Davis. Sometimes beatable.

Zero

Washington game week press conference.
Plough knows he isn’t giving Fisher enough carries
Freshmen who are playing won’t redshirt

The teams we should be scheduling in the west are the ones remaining in the Mountain West, where if they are having a down year are beatable. Not many years are we going to be competitive with Washington.
Blowout losses have a long term negative impact on image of the team.

Will need to replace all the grad contributors except Ty Richardson who will still have eligibility, since he graduated in two years and will have another year remaining.

yes. They both redshirted first year. For some reason they don’t list players by eligibility, or list their year graduated from high school, so you have to look at their bios which show they have been with team since 2021.

Personnel wise we seem to have positive answers from all the new guys getting playing time.
Pinnick, Vargas, Fisher, Porotesano, Dobbins, Jones, Cofield, all had very little experience, but they look good.
The defense looks talented, just needs to cut down on big plays and costly penalties, not surprising given the player turnover.
We haven’t seen AJ Hasson. Could he be the PJ who Plough said was injured during camp?

I remain unconvinced that we don’t need a dedicated QB coach. Plough can’t mentor QBs, especially during a game, the offensive coordinator/qb coach never played the position. We spent the last two years talking about how Miles Hastings struggled when Cody Hawkins left, and Miles was a fourth year in 2023.

The recording of the game is corrupted, looking like French Impressionist art.. Probably a inadequate internet connection from the school. French Impressionist style

The kicker was something like 16 of 18 last year. The block last week isn’t on him

If its a non game why send film?

I bet not as much as they will next year.

Changing numbers late is a risky move, They had a player start every game in 2023 and his bio at the beginning of the 2024 season said he saw no action. Led to a player who never played making the conference all academic team, based on the others play. And that was a case where the roster had the jerseys correct but the stat keepers had different data.

He commited in January, tagged VintagePlough on the tweet. 247 just listed offers from Brown and Sac State, so perhaps he is a Plough recruit. That is my guess. Definately not Cody, Cody was at Idaho State long before.

Sac continues to get no respect. An Eastern Washington area paper, the Spokesman-Review picks Sac eighth, behind Idaho State, Idaho and Eastern Washington. I’d sure like to hear someone explain that but they don’t. I’m not rooting for Sac, but i think the low expectations is going to turn into excessive hype if they win one of their first two games.

There is no reason to couple whether the stats count with whether the game counts. The fairest outvome short of finishing the game is to have no winner or loser but count the stats.
