No, they changed the forecast. It was on my phone and you can drill down to see a graph. It was a different graph than this Thursday, with the peak temperature after game time. Friday Sept 1st looks like that now.

New 10 day forecast, only a high of 90.. Hope this one is correct.

Winston Williams was one of the recruits in 2021 with the most offers. Unsurprisingly didn't play as a true freshman as we had a lot of depth, had some unknown injury last year. So totally without game experience here for two years and the roster has him as a junior. He should be at most a sophomore.

The ten day forecast for Commerce Texas calls it to be 101 between 8 and 9PM. Thats the high for the day.

Tulsa 9//2/2021. i think that qualifies, although opinions may vary. It is 200 miles from Commerce by air. Kickoff was 6:30, temperature 93 degrees, wind 12mph.
Tulsa was worn down at the end of the game,

They don't need to limit these videos to 2:00 minute for two position groups. Each coach could find enough to say if you gave them two minutes apiece. Are they running out of memory in their camera or something? Maybe the producer is thinking these are for the 30 minute local news?

Sagarin has his starting ratings out for the year. These are supposedly based on recent history of the team over time, but how much time they don’t say. Davis is third in the Big Sky following Montana State and Sac State. Davis, Idaho, Montana and Weber all within a point of each other., so essentially tied.

They estimate a line of 19.07 for the game against Commerce.

That affected Granfors and Poerio less for some reason. Kraft who does return has a pretty decent average per catch as well.
I’ll just add that I’m not disputing that we don't throw many deep balls. But the players that somehow got more yards per catch are mostly gone. And I’m not trying to define the problem being the QB, the receivers or the plays. However, I do recall seeing a bunch of catches for negligible gain.

There are a other tall receivers. Chad Davis, who caught five passes against Cal is 6’3.
I’m a fan of Babbs. He was so dangerous after the catch before he missed a year.
.
I think part of the short average gain per completion is we threw many passes for one or two yard gains, checking down as a safety valve or running screens that gain little. Its not all due to not catching balls downfield.

We lost Poerio, who averaged almost 20 yards a catch on 16 catches. The guys that return have mostly short averages per catch. Need a better average than what the returning wideouts got last year.
Larison had a decent average, but now he isn’t going to be in as a wide receiver often.

iIt will be interesting how the offense looks under new OC and QB coach. They aren't making many changes but play selection might be noticeably different. Mike Cody has spent more time with the Biggs, Moroski branch of the Davis coaching tree than he has with Tim Plough/ Cody Hawkins.

Davis has the following guys who’ve been passing game coordinators or offensive coordinators: Mike Cody, Andre Allen, Kevin Burke, Taylor Chapatte, Trey Shimabukuro. I suspect they all will stay in their lane, but share some opinions, Trey Shimabukuro is listed just as an offensive assistant coach.

. Our big advantage over TAMC is that it is the first game and Davis has a returning team of veterans. We should be sharper and more cohesive than they are. We’ve seen very good play in the first game in recent years against Tulsa and Cal. Davis has to show up ready to play as in those games.
As you say this is a critical game. If they start out 1-2 they could easily end up out of the playoffs again, because it will be tough to make it through conference without three loses. A 6-5 Davis team isn’t going to be ranked, this year. If they lose either this game or Southern Utah, they are going to need to be 6-2 in conference.
Who will Bob Dunning pick?

Rex was a first team all Big Sky starting every game at Boundary Safety. They have to replace Venable and King who started every game. They started 7 or 8 games with 5 DBs. Porter must have the speed to play Safety or they would have left him at linebacker where he was no slouch.

I’m hoping they eventually correctly list players by their eligibility. There are multiple players who didn’t play as Freshmen but are listed as Sophomores. Clayton Lynam is an example, class of ‘22 listed as participating in one game and he’s listed as a Sophomore, when he should be a redshirt Freshman. A significant chunk of the roster has their class level listed incorrectly.

I think in some short yardage situations they use four defensive linemen. With linebackers they use four often but they label one position “rush”, so that guys probably almost playing as a defensive lineman. They often play three DL, three LBs and five DBs.

We have a veteran team that plays a schedule of physical teams. It will be interesting how the new OC play calling responds to what TAMC is doing. I’m kind of surprised we don’t have an assistant offensive line coach, which we’ve sometimes had before. Cody is going to have to be watching the offense as a whole, play calling and coaching quite a few guys individually. I think that is more challenging than an OC coaching the quarterbacks, which was the case here.

Thanks for the tip

;Here is my guess. The guys likely to play as they are all returners. Buchanan, Eaton, Cloyd, Mouisett, Frazier. Sarac will play situationally. New transfer Garreston may earn his way into the mix.
