Ball State, Bowling Green and directional Michigans wont draw more than Montana, Cal Poly or Davis for them. Best of luck.

MSU and Causeway are going to be where Davis is going to miss Rex and Porter the most. Brutal.

I think the biggest issues have been Rex and Porter being out, and depth on both sides of the ball.
I've noticed the defense has looked tired at times when they get caught in tempo offenses. It looked that way against Idaho.

Typical late-season stuff for every team, but Davis has had to deal with more depth challenges than average.

Plough said they were trying some new things in the Spring/Fall to cut back on injuries. I guess he'll be re-examining that, or it could just be terrible luck.

Yep. No fluke.

This is an important one. It shows how we are getting closer to being included as one of the top-tier FCS programs with Montanas/Dakotas. It also shows how far apart the Dakotas are from everyone else. Football is top priority for those top 4 schools, no doubt.

Vargas out for the season. Terrible.

More fancy endzone stuff. Looks good.

That's Takhari Carr, MSU Cornerback. Gave a very confident and respectful interview. Had good things to say about Pinnick and the offense. Very knowledgeable about his position and gameplan against Davis. He's right, Bozeman is very different in November at 8:15pm than Davis.

Here is the interview

I believe Montana was ranked 7th to Davis' 4th in that game. In reality, that Montana team was probably a top-20 team (always overrated by a few, and they've earned that). Given their strength as a top-20 team and being nearly unbeatable at home, playing at night in the cold (30's is tough for CA guys!) on national TV, that W is right up there for sure.


I think there is an element of keeping the guys fired up going into next week after more guys were injured, and rewarding the guys for bouncing back after last week. Plough hyping this win does that. Its a good move to reestablish momentum.

Nobody is ever going to accuse Plough of not being completely honest, that's for sure.

Mostly Bay Area and Sac for the regulars. Not sure about the millions of lurkers!

To my eye, teams have found success blitzing Pinnick. In this later part of the season, the pressure has brought some INTs and bad decisions. This was apparent in many instances vs. Idaho. Rushing a young QB is about the smartest move there is.

True. Its like Davis and Mercer are being made to go through the motions on a technicality.

I'd love to see the Ags shock everyone, win-out and get a bye/home games. Never know!

This, to me, seems like a slam dunk appeal. Especially as both teams are filing. If the game doesn't count, the game doesn't count.

This is the type of game where Special Teams needs a flawless performance.

Yes sir!

No way around beating the FCS top-tier if you want to get to the Championship, surely they'll be spread across the bracket. Favorable match-ups are more fun though!

By top-tier I mean NDSU, UM, MSU, SDSU (especially if in Brookings in late-november). I still consider them top-tier, though Tarleton is probably the "lock" over them this year. I'd rather have to go through Tarleton, especially if its down in Texas.

The "this is D1 athletics" people will think otherwise, but I say you have to know your guys and treat them in a way that helps them get the most out of their abilities. I tend to doubt treating Marcus like that is going to help the kid.
