70 is correct; 64 travel for BSC games

thats a great tour. my wife and i have done it a couple times; i think i'll skip this year and hit the zoo. maybe the beach if the forecast is correct for 84 degrees.

thats when it was COP, quarterbacked by Tom Flores!

the players will be fine - it’s the old guys like me in the stands that’s a concern

I was thinking QB was the guy we saw in 2019, but it looks like spring was his first starting role. Had 2 INT in every game but one (where he had 1). They’ve had good possession WRs in the past Taft could get open, and often a speed guy that could hurt you when they took shots

good point. That was the year we were up on #3 North Dakota state something like 24-3 at half, and lost in the waning seconds.

USD always scares me, especially down there. Their offense looks very similar to the Sochor offense, with a lot of play action, passes in the flat to RB/TE, and stout run game. Defending the run is crucial. Also, no big plays. 2019, we score easy first two possessions and stop them cold on their first two. Up 14-0 and cruising, right? Long kickoff return for TD and it’s a ball game. Forecast has moved up to 84, which is warm for SD (and similar to 2019)

beat UOP in 78 31-14 (coach caddis fired end of season). Beat them in 82, 23-22 (coach Toledo fired at end of season). Bob Cade survived the 86 loss.

2006 we beat Montana State 45-0; that was a shocking result . That was a playoff team that beat Colorado two weeks prior.

the 82 national championship game is on YouTube

Two parts to it. I found the 2001 semifinal also

I found a write up about the game and that’s where I got it!

I think it was Mandeville at TE; Fortner was mid 70’s.

Trivia : what future NFL head coach QB’d the Tiigers that night? Raider fans might know.

they had 9 suspended. 6 for the game (4 starters, 3 on D) and 3 for half the game. not sure if the others sitting out were significant players or not.

i saw one of the web services had both a poll AND a projected playoff schedule! we would open v. Montana State. crazy.

good physical defense; usually good enough offense to win.

Weber takes on James Madison before us; that’s a big test. Sac takes in Northern Iowa and that’s a big test.

I thought it was forbidden to mention TOP post-Gould!?!

I guess I was surprised to see QB with 16 carries, and Dotson with such meager numbers

I was surprised that their running numbers weren’t better. Dotson is really good and his numbers were below average. He had one 17 run; else he was 10-15. Other senior RB had better numbers, and QB ran alot.

Running game takes time to get going, especially these days with very little contact at practice

the link I put in there describes it as on campus. I’ve never seen the campus, just Aloha stadium

For those watching Sac, Dotson 10 carries for 28 yards? Wow

Washington is still reeling from the news that Kevin Thompson decided to forego his EIGHTH college season. EIGHTH.
