The defense has been bad the last 3 or 4 years, but it was on the field a lot less with the time consuming triple option offense. I had always said that Cal Poly’s problems under Walsh were not on the offensive side of the ball, but on the defensive side. I expect it will take two or three years to see a big turnaround. I expect given time Baldwin will right the ship.

Congrats. That was an old fashioned a$$ whooping. We have a long way to go and the Aggies look ready to make a deep run. Hopefully we can make it more respectable in 3 weeks.

Baldwin may not have as large of pool of players to draw from as he did when he was at EWU, but he has a lot more to sell as for as location and the quality of the degree to the players he does target which is much the same for Hawkins.

There were trolls on the Cal Poly board that bullied anyone that posted anything positive and it chased off a lot of the participants. That and having losing seasons the last 3 or 4 years dampened the enthusiasm. Hopefully if Baldwin can turn it around the board will become more active.

Riveraggie I generally agree about not putting much credence in teams climbing back in the second half, but as for Cal Poly’s game last week I think there are some circumstances to maybe give them a little more credit than usual. First is SUU had a full four weeks of camp and two full games (and 2 more weeks of practice) under their belt. Cal Poly had only three practices before pausing for 17 days and then only three weeks after the pause to prepare for their first game with a new coaching staff, new offense and new defense.

I know that we are huge underdogs this week and I do not expect a win against Davis, but I expect to see some improvement from our fist week. Looking forward to the game. I am also glad that we will see the Aggies again in 3 weeks to see if we are continuing to improve.

CP defense better in the 2nd half. Held SUU to 3 points. It showed that SUU had two games under their belt and Cal Poly had none. I don’t think there will be many wins this spring for the Mustangs, but I still feel great about the future of the Mustangs under Baldwin.

I really wish the Big Sky would have taken advantage of the FCS being the only football this spring and staggered the start times of the games more so more people could see more Big Sky games. As it is I will have Cal Poly/SUU on the big screen and Davis/Weber State on the tablet. Will switch to EWU/ISU at 3:00 pm.

Good luck today in Ogden.

Nice win. Congrats.

BS call on the chop block.

#53

My guess is 92 is Chubba Maae (listed as 53 on roster). I don’t see Eaton’s new number 5 on the defense, but I do see 53 which I bet is Eaton.

So who do you think will start at QB today and do you think we will see more than one play?

Good luck today. Looking forward to our first game against Davis in 2 weeks.

Pluto channels for the Big Sky football games this year are in low 1000’s. Last weeks games I believe were on 1058, 1060 and 1061. They still have a Big Sky channel 752, but as far as I can tell it is where they show replays of games.

My guess is the coaches have the QB narrowed down to 2 QBs at most and probably have a starter but are keeping quite to keep Idaho guessing.

SUU had a 5 point lead and the ball on about their own 20 with a 4th and 1 with about 1 minute left in the game. Instead of kicking a FG and going up by 8 they went for it and did not convert. NAU was left with about 53 seconds and two timeouts and they march down the field and scores on the last play of the game for the win. Exciting finish.

How about former Big Sky member UND beating #3 SDSU 28-17 today. They also beat SIU 44-21 last week.

Cal Poly only had about 3 practices before pausing for 17 days. They had their first fully padded practice yesterday and would have had 2 uninterrupted weeks of practice to prepare for a Weber State team that would of had 5 weeks of practice and a game under their belt. Now they get at least 3 weeks of practice in before facing SUU.

The 2021 Big Sky schedules are the 2020 Big Sky schedule that were canceled. They did this to maintain the rotations of rivalry games. SUU leaves in 2022 and the Big Sky will released revised 2022 and 2023 Big Sky schedules in the coming months.

I am not sure how they are/were practicing. I am just hoping they get back to it soon.
