Will we come out flat again?

I think it was Mason Moe. I just looked up the rule, its a little more involved than I thought. He may have been penalized b/c the receiver hadn't yet become a ball carrier. If penalized in the 2nd half, he sits 1st half at Sac.

The first muffed return put us in a deep hole which we never seemed to recover from. And they were w/out 2 studs.

I'm told we may have one DL contributor redshirting.

Zander. Step off the ledge. I think most are happy with our progress, and we had a massive recruiting class which should jump start the improvement.

Liked the shovel passes (??) over the middle, and the pass & lateral play. Loved the 20 or 25 yard pass over the middle to Doss, not sure why we couldn't try something like that earlier. Modise had a nice night.

Special teams seemed lost. Are they distracted by the video boards and promotions? Blocked punt and one muffed return happened when we were facing the video board. Not sure when we started the pregame hugging and flowers, can't that be handled afterwards or at the yearly football banquet? Not sure if this is a common practice.

Odd that we come out flat with a playoff spot on the line. Given a comeback was a longshot, I would have given TThomas and others some PT. Not sure about the targeting call.

Part of the explanation, 3 day weekend. Not every game was packed at the Toom. No coverage in The Aggie. I was shocked we still had free tshirts at 3:30, and surprised at all the community late arrivals. Atmosphere, food, video board substantially better.

Muffed kickoff - If we can't handle pregame celebrations, make them postgame.

GoAgs20172 - not a lot to do in Texas?

Game Predictions?

Dunning says Ags win by one.

I'm thinking 45-42, Ags prevail.

USD over Davidson 63-7.

Ten percent chance of rain?

Former Aggie DT and All American wrestler Tim Lajcik. 2 minutes of highlights.

Will today be our first "quality" win?

Lots of articles out on tomorrows game.

FCS Game of the Week preview: No. 19 Southern Utah at UC Davis

https://www.underdogdynasty.com/2017/11/10/16634176/fcs-game-of-the-week-preview-no-19-southern-utah-at-uc-davis

Both offenses strong, both defenses below average.

Prediction SUU 41, UCD 38

Maybe return man Thomas or another skill player, but with a seldom / never used player, there could be another issue... hands, timing, ...

BTW, great to see some senior role players get some PT last week.

Brandyn Lee? Supposed to have jets. Isaiah Thomas?

I'd love to have any / all of them back... Allen, Hoyt (walked on at ASU, smart young man), ... several 2 and 3 star recruits signed with "big" programs and either haven't played, or aren't even on the roster.

We have played a lot of young guys, and several true freshmen ... Montgomery, Morgan, Thomas, Whelan...

Jordan Hoyt DT transferred to ASU, has had an injury, and I don't think he has played.

More difficult at the next level. Deeper squads, fickle situations, politics.

Santa just needs to bring us a large handful of defensive studs, and we have a strong shot at the playoffs.

Back to an elite passing program!

Jordan Allen is an athletic 6'5" WR out of Fairfield in 2016 who signed with ... UC Davis. 4.5 speed, converted to Weak side DE. 247Sports had this...

"... beginning of his career at UC-Davis was promising. He was getting better at learning the nuances of playing defense and the coaches saw his potential. Unfortunately, the coaches were fired at the conclusion of the season and fortunately for Allen, it gave him an opportunity to prove something."

Redshirted for us, transferred to SFCC. Had 3.5 sacks, rated as a 4 star DE by one site. Signed with TCU, big get for them. He has 3 years left.

He has recently decommitted. Says he will sign Dec 20th. Family is important to him, and his hometown is Fairfield.

With Doss and Maier lighting it up, he could be a big fish in a medium pond here. And his family and friends could see a lot of games.

Starting RB is out. (tape) Also out is 6'4" 300# DL Robert Torgeson.

Program says 6'0"... Maier much taller than Doug Flutie.

Caught part of the Wed Night show ... Ken O'Brien, Doss and Maier featured. Excellent. Can be viewed on Facebook. Marsh refferred to Maier being 5'10"... he handled it diplomatically.

6th best university still has audio problems.

WTF??? Am I reading this correct???

"From today's #BigSkyFB coaches' teleconference: Southern Utah head coach Demario Warren said RB James Felila is likely out of the season."

Felilia is their no. 1 back, 700 yards rushing, 100 receiving, and 8 TDs.
