Agreed 100%. It is a team game. There seemed to be hints that the O line had a few issues, and I'm not an expert at evaluating WRs. (I can share that a parent of a former Aggie standout WR complained that Jake Maier couldn't throw deep routes and that we had the speed.) Not giving a single handoff to Jeremiah over 3-4 games makes the QB fake to him almost meaningless. It would seem beneficial to keep them honest. Does Hutton graduate?

Sac Bee: "“He’s [Larison] the best player in the league, no question about it, and maybe the country,” Hawkins said. “He’s super talented. That dude has a huge heart and he’s extremely tough. He’s what you’d want in a son. He’s unbelievable. He’s the heartbeat of the team. He’s spectacular.” "

Budgett was also out.

Davis Enterprise: Robbed! UC Davis misses FCS playoffs

Bob Dunning

"...Head-to-head results are considered the gold standard when selecting teams for post-season play or to break ties in awarding automatic bids, but for some reason, the selection committee turned a blind eye to Saturday's Aggie victory.

Apparently, order of finish in one of the strongest conferences in the country was also irrelevant to committee members."

FTR, we don't know if MH or other key players were hurt.

FWIW TB allegedly was young when he came out of high school. What a player.

Why does it seem we rarely throw over the middle, unless MH has the DeSantis problem. With our current offense, opponents basically cover LL, Magic, and Hutton.

Continue to tap into UCLA and Cal for transfers. They've been key in recent years. Look at other academic powers.

Does Hawk recruit on the road?

Are our WR coach / OC developing WRs?

Why are we not making the needed halftime adjustments?

Should we send offensive coaches to a Speckman Fly camp, or have him come out for a week as a consultant?

Is there a JC QB worth adding. Is dual threat Dorian Hale (formerly w Sac State) of CCSF a candidate?

Our special teams play also had our offense looking at some long fields early on.

Great job by the defense. If we had offense and special teams clicking, one could argue its a top 10 defense.

Slack beat a weak Stanford.

And one pick it looks like the receiver broke the wrong way.

I never understood the predictable use of downhill RB Chukwudobe as a blocker only and with a team with few playmakers, not playing Babbs.

Yesterday we faked a handoff to JC, which they didn't buy, bc we never give him the ball! Perez doesn't seem to break plays. Babbs broke a 64 yard reception, and then didn't play. Chaz Davis is a lengthy WR who had 8 catches one game, and then was featured less or couldn't get open?

Fisher looks great at RB.

Did our O game plan look refreshed yesterday? I actually saw a fly sweep... bubble screen... and a trick play.

And if LL has the best arm on the team, he seems to have problems executing. He underthrew the deep (open) route yesterday.

Lack of halftime adjustments (or lack of execution) killed us.

I have the ESPN App and can't find the feed...

Is there a livestream link?

If we had a healthy LL, we could have 2 more wins.

Sam Herder: "Sacramento State just lost to unranked UC Davis to finish 7-4. It does not have any ranked wins. But the Hornets do have an FBS P5 win over Stanford. And they also have a win over Southland champ Nicholls, who beat UIW. That’s why Sac State gets this last spot instead of UIW."

Our radio color guy does a decent job (loves to talk), but he seemed to assert a playoff spot was a lock with a Causeway win, which it ain't.

How do they take Sac over us, when we have the H2H win? A win over a weak FBS to start the season and a weak schedule.

Another flat Q3 for the Ags.

And Stanford only has 3 wins - all against sub-.500 teams.
