They did say some nice things about Doss, Maier, and some of the other receivers as well... but they also cried that there should have been penalties on Davis on dang near every play while Montana couldn't possibly have done something deserving of a penalty. By the way, I don't have a problem with Hawk taking a penalty. Get fired up about blatant attempts to injure another player and the refs just don't do anything about it. Defend your players.

The commentators were truly bad. It was totally inconceivable to them that Davis might be good.

Yeah we just have to keep winning. NAU and Sac have been especially terrible as of late so I like our chances there. We can't take our foot off the gas peddle for those games by any means, but we SHOULD win those 2. EWU, even without Gubrud, will be a huge challenge. They are like the Aggies in that they can gouge in on the ground or through the air. Winning out would be big time for this program.

Funny enough, someone recently did research on this on AGS and found that the AGS poll more reliably picked the seeds than the coaches poll over the last several seasons.

Kennesaw State is a relatively new program only in it's 4th season. They were okay their first 2 seasons but exploded onto the scene in their 3rd making it to the quarter finals before losing to Sam Houston State. I believe that they run a variation of triple option on offense. I just scratch my head seeing they are playing quite literally the worst of the worst in FCS and getting rewarded.

Kennesaw still kind of baffles me. Are they undefeated against FCS? Yes. Have they been blowing teams out? Yes. Have they played a tough SoS similar to a lot of other teams in the top 10? Hell no.

I get that some voters might be being cautious considering this is our first season being back in the swing of things, but as Brian (from HERO Sports) said, Davis has no FCS losses but is ranked behind 6 teams that do... what can you do? Just keep on winning.

Aggies remain at 3 and 6 respectively in the AGS and STATS polls this week. We finally cracked the top 10 in the coaches poll coming in at 9.

Needless to say HERO Sports does not agree with the coaches...

Exactly. Spencer's game was entirely too predictable because he wasn't a passing threat. When he came in the game, opponents knew that it was going to be a keeper. Wildcat only works if you can at least threaten to throw it or else opponents just zero in.

I think with the emergence of a run game with Gilliam and Thomas plus the fact that Spencer's passing wasn't reliable enough to make the wildcat a consistently effective option buried him on the depth chart. He seems like a good kid, but the throws just weren't cutting it from what I have observed over his time with the team. I don't know anything about injuries regarding him.

So perfect for trick plays. He's not unlike Orlando Ornelas in our current recruiting class. We recruited him as a WR and he is playing QB his senior year.

Yeah Crawford played QB in HS.

Not to mention that he has 75 tackles on the season too... on one of the best teams in the state.

BOOM! and this round goes to movielover!

I said it in another thread that we don't want to count our chickens before they hatch, but 9-2 is very realistic and 10-1 isn't outside the realm of possibility. I thought going into this season that we'd be improved and maybe at best be like 7-4. This season has been absolutely amazing.

Want to know what gave me a chuckle? There is a thread on Montana's fan forum right now comparing Maier and Sneed... and there is some guy arguing that Sneed is the better QB and would have beaten Maier for the starting spot if they were in the same camp :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think KSU is a good team, but to say their strength of schedule has been weak is an understatement. Massey has their SoS ranked at 89th... ours for example is 9th. I think people see the eye popping scores and think "they must be good" but they are playing consistently the worst teams in FCS.

I would be okay playing anyone in that quarter bracket to be honest. Only problem is that we could be looking at NDSU in the semi's.
