Agree. We've become predictable. Handoff for no gain, pass behind the line for no gain, then desperation and they tee off. The CC WR pass is no longer a surprise as of last year.

What happened to the TE over the middle, short dinks over the D line, going deep on 2nd and 2?

Great catch by Babb, true freshman LB Mouisett also contributed again. We had 2 tall WRs (6'6"?) we let go. Is Peacock playing due to injuries, or belief he'll bring QB heat?

And I REALLY don't understand short field kickoffs.

FWIW, Maier threw 10 picks last year in 13 games.

This year, 9 picks in 6 games.

Rushing, we averaged about 166 YPG last year, about 95 YPG this year.

Who brings the firey pep talk? We could fly in Coach Foster every week. Solid second half, another 'unintended lesson'.

Edit: another huge game for Eaton, 9 tackles. Did Venable go out? He played, has size, no tackles. Unusual for him, he's been productive. DE Cade Peacock played, his first action this year. Do we possibly have injuries on the D line we don't know about?

Stats of note.

3 Interceptions. Back breakers.
4 of 15 on 3rd down.
81 yards rushing.
8 penalties.
9 fewer TOP minutes (turnovers, 4 of 15).

The dogs were there in the 2nd half. Why?

Great 2nd half effort. But too little, too late. Can spot a good team, and drain your defensive players.

Zander, in defense, we are playing a number of young players on defense. And then we burnt them out with continual 3 and outs.

And no running game. But if we can't run, use ball control West Coast offense.

I don't understand not getting a FG kick in time, esp as I believe we still had a TO left. Call a TO.

Defense!!! No short kick!!@

They only have 1 time out!!

Yes!!!!!!!

Aggie Pride!!@

Defense has been outstanding, and we've had some O.

Please, why run on 1st and 2nd down when we've only had 1 good run?

ND announcers said Babb (way) underthrown. Babb was going semi deep. Did he throw early bc of footsteps?

Great call, maybe staff reads AST. They went like Sochor, going deep after a TO. But the ball was underthrown, Maier did take a lick. Nice route by true freshman Orlando Ornelias.

ND announcers said WRs Kraft and Harrell didn't make the trip.

Gilliam with a big run!

AWESOME AGGIES!!! BATTLE!!

Fake to the D Lineman - BRILLIANT!!

If we can't run - we can't - pass 80% of the time! Have the pass set up the run.

Ugh. ... (we carry 1 more WR, TE, and 2 more QBs than ND.)

OK, HOW DID WE SCORE IN 1 MINUTE??!!

GO AGS!!

Edit: they have 6, 7 tall receivers, most 6'4", one 6'3", which is an advantage in one respect, but they can't be quicker than 5'10" DBs?

Massive holes on the D Line, and we have size there and 5 seniors. I'm no expert, but with no pressure on the QB it makes our job 2x as tough, then overworked.

Our opponents have had 2 off seasons to study our film. Our "trick" plays seem repetitive. This may be situational, but I haven't seen a snap to the RB or a fake punt, or anything new (& fun).

We miss Mason Moe & Parenteau.

Edit: Maybe we're seeing depth issues as our roster includes:

15 wide receivers
7 tight ends
6 QBs

Crawford caught a pass today. TT looked beat up walking off the field last week. So we're thin at RB with Facey out for the year, and our FB is a converted TE we rarely use. We have a converted WR and a couple of walk ons.

I don't agree. We got tons of 3 star recruits. This same team went to the playoffs last year!

Which Aggie team shows up today?

The one that battled NDSU, or got trounced by Montana?

Hoping our running game gets going, cleaner game, more fun. Winning is fun.
