nope, that was my point in us being 'ranked' ahead of Sac. that SUU win is pretty impressive based on the Thunderbirds' victories over Weber and EWU (and their 12 ranking). our best wins are decisive wins over #45 USD and #61 UND. ISU would be another good win along those lines, especially on the road. SUU would be the signature.

i'm surprised Sac isn't higher based on their convincing win over SUU. They have the same BSU losses as us, but a 'signature' win.

The sideline dance was a horrible look. Thrilling win that shouldn’t have been that close. Give poly credits, coaches and kids. They made adjustments ( completely took away Preece), stuck with their run game and didn’t give up. They got killed by three of their mistakes : 1) fumble before half cost them three or seven points; 2) hold on last punt cost them ten yards and left them out of FG position; 3) dropped pass on last play. But it’s a win.

In retrospect a FG instead on going for it on the one would have iced it BUT shouldn’t give up a 99 yard drive. Thought that penalty was ticky tack for that situation. Wasn’t egregious enough to make a game changing call.

Run game was non existent against poly’s front four - let their backers drop into pass lanes to take away pass option. Only one fly and that went for a loss. I’d like to see some fakes off the fly to keep d honest.

Aggie pack did get loud at end but they need leaders. Football isn’t part of many of our students background so they need someone on a mic to teach and lead. That being said best atmosphere in stadium in many years.

Beat the bengals and let’s see what happens down the stretch

wow......near radio silence on the boards heading into the Poly game. Hopefully the Ags don't carry the NAU loss like we are in here. Don't let one team beat you twice.

When diss won he had something like 4000 votes. Not much interest in the poll this week. I don’t think I can vote 100 more times before I go to bed!

He has less than 300 votes. AST falling asleep this week?

I have the west coast bias going. Modise and the San Diego QB

Still have two tickets in 123 if someone wants to attend

as bad as your offense has been (by Poly standards, by our past standards your scoring is very Gould-like), your defense seems to be pretty solid. held NAU, Weber and SUU to 28 or less (less than 20 for the last 2). i worry about our running game vs. the mustangs. maybe we can get outside with some success -> that has eluded us all season.

think back to last year when we went down there with 2 wins and had them on the ropes until the end.

Granddaughter’s third bday in the afternoon so hard to follow via espn updates. Seemed like everytome I checked we were in third and long or third and really long or with poor field position or committed another penalty to extend a drive ( or put us in third and very long). Don’t know how much led to run dominated play calling. End of half was very Weber-like. Hopefully a post bye week hangover-> have seen it a lot in recent years.

By the way I have two box seats available for poly. 45 yard line with me and agalum and wife’s. If interested and promise to be loud contact me via private message

He is in San Diego. Was at SDSU game

i thought he was injured on a kickoff return vs. Weber, but maybe i'm thinking of Williams. Hard to remember that far back!

this is gonna be a tough one. playing a really good offense with a hot QB on the road at 7000 feet. we'll have to get out to a good start, and put some 7's on the board. turnovers will be a key (although our 2 INT's vs. EWU weren't enough). I don't think these guys are as talented on offense as EWU, but they can score often and FAST. they put away Portland with 28 straight after it was 14-13 in the 3Q; that was a pick-6 and a couple 3 play drives on short fields. so, turnovers and field position! need big games from the running backs, and someone besides Doss. Getting Ryan P back should really help the defense, both against the run and pass. Keep him off of special teams!

someone explain to this old-timer what a 'nationally ranked long snapper' is?

Weber and poly went last year at 7-4. UND and EWU also went. Two other 7-4 teams and a 6-5 Illinois st. I’d have to look at teams like Montana’s schedule to see who they have left. A win over NAU would be huge: else they EWU and Weber are in the driver’s seat for spots and we’d be hoping for the fourth Big Sky spot. They take Montana over us( or anyone) if records were the same

They scored 28 in a row. Pick 6 seemed to be the turning point. That and a short 50 yard drive after PSU Went for it on 4th and short. We’ll have to stop the big plays next week. Vikings may have given up

we could go 5-0; and 0-5 is also a possibility. We should be a big favorite over poly, but it’s a rivalry game. NAU & ISU. On the road? Tough games. Hope to split. SUU at home? Should win, but no cakewalk. SAC? They look pretty solid and it’s a rivalry game. If I were a betting man i’d say 3-2. 6-5 would be a big step forward

apparently our ballot stuffing worked, according to the football facebook page.

i just voted for the kid from Lehigh to get him to 30 votes. 30 sounds like so many more than 29! i guess the Engineer fans don't get into this social media stuff.

i think Doss has a safe lead.
