Berry was doing TV color with Marsh on play by play? Greg Wong and Doug Kelly in radio?

Great energy in stadium for first half, then we lost momentum. Pass defense was not great. Not much pressure and really open receivers. Running game was outstanding, passing game looked like spring. Don’t recall hearing our TE’s name called at all. Receivers never got much separation, and they were able to pressure HR. With the returns and INT’s, we should have put it away much earlier. Maybe got overexcited with early success, Dixie wasn’t bad.

GREAT atmosphere for the first half. My son and family were with us and they were pleasantly shocked, and they’ve been coming to a game got the past 4-5 years.

they must have different onside kick rules in high school. They loaded up the center and just bowled them over!

Twice

We really want to see JMU put a beat down on Weber and get them reeling for our game in a couple weeks!

I wonder what’s changed for Dixie since spring? Rang up up yards vs FBS New Mexico State (terrible but FBS) and were tied 29-29 late. Two long TD passes and long run. Played Kennesaw tough with 400 yards of offense. Hope that doesn’t show on Saturday. Coombs and co. seem to game plan well and are really good at in-game adjustments

Here’s a funny stat : in spring DSU hung with New Mexico State 36-29, rolling up 483 yards. So, does their offense have potential or are the Aggies that bad?

Hopefully they bring play to their potential against teams called Aggies!

early on, they really stacked the box. 8 guys within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. I was stunned to see them that packed in. Probably why we didn’t run much early, AND why we pushed it down the field.

it will be interesting to see if we've made upgrades in our video capabilities with the move to ESPN. i remember reading that some Big Sky brass had toured different stadiums to see what changes could be made -> not sure where the money comes from. I know Scott Marsh and Scott Barry are doing the announcing.

I was much less impressed with their QB than he was. I think he stated he was the best in the conference

it was Larison. Makes more sense now.

i thought it odd v Tulsa when we brought him in on 4th and 1, and lined HR up behind a guard as deception. cute setup, but we lost a blocker. he finds holes, and is VERY patient. i swear that punt return took 20 seconds, but it may have been heat stroke.

I think it was an omen for the Toreros when the singer flubbed the lyrics to the national anthem after the 9/11 moment of silence. Lot of pressure on her.

was reading comments post Cal Poly, and their coach didn’t seem pleased with the schedule. One scholarship game is okay, but back to back? To back? That’s a stiff challenge.

I was surprised in that article how many of their seniors stuck around (I think 16) and they had a couple transfers. I thought that attrition might have explained their drop off in talent

2008 and 2010 we had 6:05 kickoffs, one in September one in November. Perfect conditions for football and I remember their endzone fairly full with students. Not so the last two trips.

if you were the USD AD, and saw no fans in the stands (some in the shade above the stadium) wouldn’t you think on scheduling night games in September? I get the Pioneer league games since teams need to get back East but not for preseason. We played night games here before, once in mid November. Last two years have been miserable

I’m making the trip. Last time I went on a trip like this was 2018 Montana, so hopefully history repeats.

I’m not sold on Weber. Offense and QB are suspect. Got exposed in playoffs. I think this version of Ags and HR brings back a win

that Sac game changed fast. Dixie won’t be a pushover. Beware the Morman redshirts!

I was pleasantly surprised how we shut them down. They had 330 yards but over 100 was after we had 46-7 lead and emptied the bench. I’m still a little concerned about run defense. Seemed like big gaps there, unless they had to abandon the run game.

I liked the agressive approach early ( flea flicker, 2 point tries) - set a tone that we weren’t going to take our foot off the throttle. Helps to have a kicker to kick it out the end zone and eliminate big special teams play.

Other minor nit….Hunter had a couple forced passes that could have been a disaster against good DBs. He avoided those v Tulsa.

Home opener with big crowd and good chance to be 3-0? Good time to be an Ag

I checked the box score from 2019. Game time temp was 82, and I wilted. Tomorrow’s forecast? 82


2019 we went up 14-0 right out the chute and had them on the ropes, and in a position to get them out of their game plan. Then they ran back the kickoff to get back to 14-7 and it was a game. Need to get ahead and don’t let up
