I'll still stand by whatever decision Plough makes going into this game, but if there is a singular opportunity to give Kollock some game experience with the 1st stringers it's this game as I think we could probably put Kori the tee dog out at QB and still beat Stetson. We hit conference games after and it's not a good sign for the team if you're still experimenting with who your starting QB is that late into the season.

Fair enough, didn't want to insinuate that you love the Hornets or anything. I do think that the disparity between FCS and FBS will continue to grow unless at least some NIL restrictions are put in place. That being said, I don't think FCS is entirely doomed. I think Montana and Montana State could go FBS, but I think there's enough teams left in FCS and the Big Sky that it could continue to function. I just think Sac State's ambition to be taken seriously through forcing their way to FBS despite not being prepared for it is truly going to be their downfall. They could have stayed in FCS and likely have been fine.

The lesson learned? Don't schedule top 25 teams especially in places that can be 120+ degrees at field level.

Not that I think Plough is incapable of making mistakes. Far from it as no coach is perfect, but QBs really is his thing. I'm still going to trust his assessment and if that means down the road he discovers he was wrong and switches to Kollock then kuddos to you for your assessment.

PS his last name is Kollock, not Kollack just fyi

Frankly I don't see them competing... Ever. I simply do not believe in any of their plans for building success. From the start of their journey to the FBS it has been nothing but over promising and under delivering.

I still stand by previous statements that I have made that there is a better chance of their football program folding financially than ever having consistent success in FBS.

Massey now has Sac State ranked as the 2nd worst FBS team in the country. Their fans on twitter are already calling for the coach to be fired and to bring in Troy Taylor. I know Taylor has deep connections with Sac State, but I'm not sure if he would look at their situation favorably. It's starting to look like career suicide at Sac State.

And just to stoke the flames of controversy on the forum... I think it's pretty likely that we see Kollock in this one, Clee will still start though. Plough is a pretty loyal guy, it would take a lot for him to change the starter at this point considering we've won the games we were supposed to win and lost the games we were supposed to lose.

And just to be clear, I'm not a Cleeland or Kollock truther. I just don't have any reason to not trust Plough when it comes to QB evaluation and as it stands he is backing Cleeland right now.

Stetson Game Results
- @ South Dakota State - L 7-70
- vs Webber International (NAIA) - W 45-10
- @ Bethune-Cookman - L 18-43

Stetson offense
- The Hatters on offense are averaging 23.3 points per game and 360 yards of offense per game. They are split towards favoring the pass almost 2-1 in terms of their offensive production.
- They run a 2 QB system. JR QB Thomas Von Grote is their passing QB who has completed right around 63% of his passes on the season for 605 yards with 4 TDs and 2 INTs. JR QB Chris Stephenson is their running QB. He has completed 75% of his 8 passing attempts on the season for 62 yards, but attempts to do his damage on the ground where he has 22 rushing attempts for gained 205 yards and 3 TDs.
- JR RB Troy Flowers is their main guy out of the backfield and is used as a dual threat. He has 143 gained rushing yards on 28 attempts with 1 TD, but is also the teams 2nd leading receiver with 124 receiving yards on 6 catches with 1 TD.
- Top receiving target is JR WR Wyatt Rogers with 192 yards on 13 catches with 1 TD

Stetson defense
- The Hatters on defense are allowing 41 points per game... woof. They've actually been pretty okay against the pass so far this season only allowing 150 passing yards per game, but have struggled to stop the run allowing 227 rushing yards per game. Though this is largely skewed by the fact that SDSU simply didn't pass the ball and just ran for almost 400 on them.
- They have only forced 1 turnover on the season 3 games into the season.
- So far their top producer on defense has been FR DB Dylan Kelly who leads the team in tackles with 21 and forced the teams lone turnover on the season with his 1 INT.
- They have only produced 2 sacks so far this season.

Stetson Special Teams
- SO P Brett Gonda is averaging 43.6 yards per punt with 4 of his 13 punts going 50+ yards
- They have had 2 kickers attempt FGs - RFR K Trey Hess is 1/1 on FG attempts with a long of 40 yards and JR K Paul DeSousa is 1/1 on FG attempts with a long of 49 yards. DeSousa has handled a majority of their kickoffs as well.
- Nothing of note in terms of their stats for kickoff and punt returns. They have, however, allowed almost 22 yards per punt return on average.

As mentioned previously, if we don't beat the Hatters by at least 50 I will have to re-evaluate my expectations for the rest of the season. This should be a beatdown for the ages. GO AGS!

You got it backwards there... Stetson lost to Bethune-Cookman 43-18. Their only win was a 45-10 final over NAIA Webber International University who also now sits at a 1-2 record.

I'll get a write up put together, but Stetson is really really bad... Before their loss to Bethune-Cookman, Massey had them rated as the third worst team in all of FCS. If the Ags don't look sharp in this one, I will have concerns about the rest of the season.

56-10 final... On to Stetson

Almost missed another FG

That was a nice ball by Kollock. I just have a hard time making any determinations from a game like this.

Nice that we can score against SMU 4th stringers at least

Moral victory stopping them on 4th down I guess

against a top 25 FBS team? Do we think any of our QBs would do anything in this situation?

They want their QB to go for the Heisman so they're starting padding, but still really a piece of shit philosophy

What are we doing with our punts too?

Really? Timeout? What an asshole

Maybe we shouldn't schedule top 25 opponents anymore
