Today was definitely a Prove It game and the Aggies most definitely did and then some. If they even lost a tight game I would have been sold on them being a solid team.

Montana St appears to be a next level Prove It game. If we go toe to toe with them, even if we lose, it's going to tell us a lot about this team.

LOL. They've got awfully short memories if this is the worst team in recent memory.
8-5 in 2022
A combined 27-19 with 1 playoff appearance from 2015-2018.

I would think we'd stay at 4 just because of the reputation South Dakota St has but who knows. We were 75 points behind them last week in the Stats poll and I would guess that margin will be closer next week.

Last time Montana lost by more than 7 points at home was...

2018 when we cooked them 49-21.

Unless I missed something, before that you have to go back to 2012 when they lost to Montana St by 9.

EDIT: Arbitrary margin of victory but the last time before 2018 they lost at home by 14+ points was in 2005 to Cal Poly. And again, unless I missed something, but besides the two losses to UCD, the last time Montana lost by 16+ points at home was in 1990 to Idaho.

Wife informed me today that she and our daughter will be out of town next week which means I'll be in attendance next week.

LET'S GO AGS!

We are good boys. We are good. That's a big boy win right there. Ain't no doubting this team now!

Also, next week is effectively a conference championship game. Someone can let me know if there are H2H tiebreakers or not but if so, whoever wins, wins the conference. If there aren't H2H tiebreakers for conf championships, whoever wins is guaranteed a share and can win outright by winning the last week.

Just run the ball there.

Montana with 72 yards on their first TD drive, and only 196 after.

Yeah, I would have been okay with another handoff there.

Almost there, boys. Let's get a couple first downs at the least and run some clock. Then cap it with a TD for good measure.

Man it would be really nice to be up 19-21 right now (pending an XP/2-pt attempt) but I'll take the 16.

Defense just needs to make Montana work here. No huge plays or quick TD drive.

That's a garbage call there. Montana not letting our player get up and he gives him a little shove. Soft call.

Man if we can get 7 here...

Picked off! No idea what their QB was doing there.

Offense picking it up a notch. 6.9 yards per play in the 2nd half vs. 5.1 in the 1st half.

TOUCHDOWN AGGIES LET'S GO!

After the Larison sneak or after the trick play?

Haha. Suck it Montana with your substitution BS. Finally got the 12 man penalty, though I think we got the 1st down anyway.

Man I'm torn on this one. I want to go for it but the defense has been playing well so you want to trust them. It's different if it's 38-34 right now.

But I lean go for it.

15 minutes left. The win is right there for us. Just need to take it.
