Things have been kinda quiet for it being the Friday before a rivalry game. I know covid has been a downer, but I'm still excited to watch the Aggies (hopefully) trounce the Mustangs. Cal Poly used to have a pretty active forum community, but it's been pretty barren there for a while now.

Polls have been all over the place with all the circumstances of this season. Some polls have EWU pushing top 10 with Davis in the 20-25 range. Others have Davis and EWU close with Idaho out of the top 25. Not that these polls count, but over on AGS people have Davis omitted altogether from their top 25.

I think based on the results from this season so far Davis should have possession of the 2nd spot, but we have always struggled with EWU. Until we can shake off the boogeyman I can totally understand why folks would have them on level or ahead of us. Only time will tell how these things will play out.

EWU at 12 and Davis at 25 is a pretty rough look. The AGS poll is all over the place too for the Aggies. Some people posting their polls don't even have us in the top 25 but have EWU pushing top 10. Doesn't make sense to me, but what can you do.

If we win out then we should be in the playoffs. Now I'm not getting ahead of myself because we still have a lot of football to play. Eastern is always a tough game, Idaho State played the Eagles much tougher than expected, and while Cal Poly looks like they might have a down year it's tough to beat a rival once let alone twice. But like I said, if we can have a 1 loss season and that loss was a 1 score game to one of if not the best team in the country then we should be in no problem.

I agree that the voters have a fairly significant bias for the MVC, but I think having NDSU around gives all those teams a bump on reputation alone. Unfortunate reality.

Just for reference Athlon Sports has the Aggies all the way up to 12 in their poll while College Sports Madness have us at 21. Massey currently giving the Aggies a 76% chance of winning.

I'm totally with you Zander. Bad reads and interceptions happen. The other teams simply making excellent plays happen. Clock and timeout management issues shouldn't happen. There is no excuse. Burning a timeout on the first drive of the 2nd half for Weber to score immediately anyway. Using a time out AFTER just having a delay of game. These CANNOT happen.

Weber is a very very good team, but this was a total disaster of a 2nd half on our part. Starts off with defense not prepared at all for a tempo shift followed bythe passing game falling apart entirely then EXTREMELY poor usage of timeouts and straight up weird play calling. Props to Weber on the comeback, they earned it but holy hell the wheels came off.

And we only have 1 timeout. We didn't just shoot ourselves in the foot... We unloaded the magazine

I didn't see the penalty, but another interception

This play calling is... Something

Horrible

Good stop... These commentators want a penalty on davis every play no matter what. They are seeing the ghosts of penalties past, present, and future.

15-13... Gotta stop em

Just keep shooting ourselves in the foot. Huge run by Larison followed by a delay of game and then a burned timeout after

Falling apart

Welp

Rough 4th down call against a stacked box

Inconsistent reffing. These are the halftime adjustments I was worried about though.

For sure. Gotta be ready for Weber to come out mad as hell in the 2nd half.
