If the Stanford I saw Saturday shows up to the Aggie game next year, well, it's not going to be 45-0 I can say that. They're just slower, weaker, more imprecise, you name it than previous years.

Looking like SDSU was pretty underrated in the first few weeks though. Held back a possibly top FCS offense, then beat ASU in a game that some redditors said wasn't nearly as close as the score looked.

Protecting him? It's one of the most dangerous plays in football and unless he's truly the fastest guy on the team I'm not sure it's worth an extra few yards on returns when they need him in top shape for the ensuing drive.

I'm actually concerned about SDSU using our two best RBs for returns, but they're just so dominant at it I understand that it's just too hard to make the call to pull them.

very much so.

This day has made me happier than any other day of football in a long time.

Oh I see Kerberos got there first

Don't quote me but this might be the first time since I became an Aggie that we held a winning record against D1 competition at any point in a season.

What a game

Could be even more lopsided than the quarter turned out, but we'll take it. This is definitely a winnable game.

Ah hmm I'm on the Pluto app for my settop box. Looks like that comes with a 1-2 min delay.

Wow my stream is behind apparently. Are folks watching by stream or on TV?

Great third and long conversion. This is some of the best Aggie offensive play I can remember

I like the balance they're striking with calling back to the classic look and still keeping it fresh.

I wouldn't even mind seeing the blue helmets again for some away game or even maybe once at home ("blue out" game maybe?). And of course gotta bring back the gold pants at least for Homecoming and the rivalry games.

I don't know if Montana or UND would ever be practical but it would seem reasonable to me that in addition to the rivalry games, any OoC game in CA, Nevada, or Oregon (in addition to PSU) should have Band-Uh there.

It seems like ICA isn't as strapped for cash now (that's not to say they aren't still in reality) so hopefully something can eventually happen.

If they didn't go to San Diego (they didn't) I can't see them going to Portland.

Not much we can do to control our US News rank. Their methodology isn't very fair to a school like Davis that's trying to grow, and it even changes some/most years so you can't directly compare trends.

The fact that we place in the top 20 out of public schools across many different rankings is the more significant stat to me.

I can somewhat anecdotally confirm this as well; GE classes I took at UCLA met the same prereqs but counted for more credit than their comparable classes at Davis. (And since they were summer classes they took less hours ironically.)

That what it looked like to me. Every time I paid attention the snap came after a clap.

Unless the rules changed in the last few years, you're right that FBS transfers don't sit out. It's how we got Laughrea playing in Gould's first game after he transferred from Boise.

UC->UC transfers should also be really smooth from a prereq standpoint. I took 3 classes at UCLA in summers with relatively little issue and they directly correlated to classes offered at Davis.

Looks to me like some of it might have been older footage; isn't that the old wallpaper on the concession stands in the scenes where Hawkins is talking and some of the practice footage?

Imagine if Manzanares were the one handling the dives in this offense...

... unless we're seeing an OL problem more than an RB problem

Yeah, after 3 losses (two of them blowouts) in OoC the team went 5-3 in conference. By far his best season.

SDSU pulls it out 30-20, with Penny being a one-man wrecking crew. That loss might start looking more and more respectable, especially if the Aztecs hang with Stanford next week.

Commentators pointed out that Maier is on track to potentially break Daft's single-game passing record.

If he's able to do that in his second-ever DI game against a playoff FCS team -- well, that's insane.
