He won't mention Sac by name once, mark my words. Probably not even during game week!
I would look for Plough to do things to get #12 off to a fast start against Southern Utah. Easy throws, some things to get him onto the perimeter where he can take off, etc. Also, let's get #20 a few more carries. There was nothing they were going to do to run the ball on UW, but if USD can go for nearly 300 on the ground against SUU, the Ags should have some success. That will also make life easier for #12.
You can do a lot with $31m. The Husky RB is as good as any RB I've seen in college football this season, and their o-line plays and looks like a Big10 o-line. Glad that one is behind us, hopefully women's lacrosse and gymnastics, the cross country teams, and the indoor track program et al. appreciate what the football team did for them and get out to the game Saturday night! Go Ags!
After the first quarter of the Mercyhurst game every Sac possession until the last one that was ended by the clock was a TD. They averaged over eight yards a carry.
This is a sad photo. Of course, Cal drew 35000 for Minnesota and Stanford may have gotten 20000 in their stadium vs BC (announced 25000). I think the conference shuffle is really hurting the California schools (of course, winning might help!)
Lets not forget, with the Washington game, most of our starters were pulled for the second half according to Plough. Maybe we could have been a bit more competitive if the starters were left in, but we got the younger guys some reps and mitigated injury to our starters.
just make it entertaining or luxury. People go to minor league games and usually don't care much about the score other than sort of wantimg the team to win.
It'd be nice if it was bring your own keg friendly in the Suites. Full bar? Food spread would be? If all these had options, man that'd be well organized and worthy of Aggie dollars.
During the alumni zoom, a couple interesting tidbits came out. One that stood out - it was mentioned that the Washington payroll was $30M in NIL. Plough echoed what was said here - the gap between schools like us and the elite is bigger than ever. Apparently, the number of large differential games this last weekend (can’t remember the criteria) was historical.
I find it irritating that analysts keep touting the five returning O linemen, when one is not going to play until later in season. Porotesano is a red shirt freshmen who played in two games prior to this season. ( I don’t know why the team does not classify anyone besides transfers as a redshirt-whatever, makes the team look older than it is,)
I hadn't realized while watching the game that we were resting a good number of starters in the 2nd half (beside Pinnack). Good for the long term health of the team....not so great for the point differential!
How long to get a facility upgrade? Three years? The MWC is prime for UC Davis right now, football maybe a year or two away, but crazy how this is looking right now for the Aggies.
