Crushing loss for the Aggies after dominating the majority of the game and applying pressure on Irvine again and again. The game was tied at 0-0 after regulation and 2 OT's and then Irvine won the penalty kicks 10-9.

Soccer can be a cruel game where one team candominate play but the ball just never finds the net. I always feel terrible for the player who either misses a penalty kick or gets the kick stopped by the goalie when games are decided on penalty kicks.

The Aggies are a young team and they made a tremendous run that got stopped 1 penalty kick short. They'll challenge for the title again next year. Great season, Aggies!

I agree but we simply won't know until next year.

This is ridiculous. You should email the athletics department and let them know about it.

Yes, that's all we can hope for. It's particularly tough now that the major programs have sponsors who can offer up significant NIL money to players. That's tough for young athletes to pass up.

You would think that we may be able to score some points against Sac if Poly could put up 30 on them. However, we just seem to have such struggles offensively so who knows. I also think that Sac was probably overlooking Poly today. Anyway, there's a lot on the line now in the Causeway.

100% agree. Gordon knows his football and he adds a lot to the broadcast team.

We most definitely could lose Larison to the portal and Rex Connors also. You know that major programs will find a way to get the word to them and that they could be making big bucks playing before big crowds. We'll just have to hold our breath and hope they want to come back and be the leaders of the Aggies.

The ISU announcers were excellent. They spoke about the best for both teams and we didn't get any of that whinning, "we're-getting-screwed," homer stuff that we get too often.

If that's truly the case, Hawk owns good piece of the responsibility since he selected the OC.

He has 106 of our 171 total yards. Would you say we are one-dimensional?

ISU has given up big rushing yards this year but they are doing a pretty good job stopping us today. You would think that would open up the passing for us but...nope...

Yards at the half:

Total: Idaho 253 Aggies 171
Passing: Idaho 252 Aggies 62
Rushing: Aggies 109 Idaho 1

Weber State 31 Idaho 29 - Final
Montana State 57 EWU 14 - Final
NAU 28 Northern Colorado 7 - Final
Sac State 31 Poly 23 at the half

The thing that is so frustrating to me is that we make the same mistakes week after week...TO's and an inability hold teams in 3rd and long. It's pretty much been the same all season and it's showing up today big time.

ISU has no respect at all for our defense and the defense is showing us why so far. Couple that with our offense and it could be a very long day.

What the heck is going on with our DB's? They play so loose.

Our offense has struggled in nearly every game and it's continuing today.

Here's a couple more scores of future Aggie opponents:

Utah 82 Riverside 53
Oregon State 81 Troy 80 (2OT)
Oregon 75 Montana 61

I watched the second half of the Montana @ Oregon game and the game was much closer than the final score indicates. Montana went toe-to-toe with the Ducks for the first 30 minutes of the game before Oregon's superior size took over. Montana will be a very tough game for the Aggies. They were impressive against Oregon.
