Davis and Mercer were the only two playoff games without an AP writer on site today, which explains the lack of live stats or game summary on espn. This gets to the same theme which is the university doesn’t try very hard at the basics, despite the fact that Davis’ athletic admin payroll is massive.

That’s exactly right. The camera angle was terrible so once they called a first down it was difficult to overturn despite being pretty obviously short.

That is how you lay the groundwork to take the next job. And he’s not wrong but that’s how it has always been and will always be.

Completely agree. Aside from that second series he was fantastic.

Split time as a sophomore and then had some injuries the last two years. Definitely a developmental type. I think Plough will be looking for an experienced transfer and Hastings’ numbers this year will help that cause.

He’s not. I don’t think he played in 10 varsity games at Oaks over 3 years. More pics than touchdowns.

He gone.

There’s 9,000 seats plus the berms.

Exactly. These are the basic facility management issues that they can never get right. The first game with students and big games like MSU should have food trucks and portable cans inside the gate.

It’s tough to justify a major capital expenditure when the increase is attendance is attributable to people with free tickets.

At least two of the qb commits this year are likely to end up playing another position.

Nice get!

True, but none of those guys were approaching 4* status. Even using 247’s flawed system most of the top ranked players that have committed to Davis during the modern era never started a game. Ranking high school kids is impossible.

Not a Hail Mary. Those power 4’s aren’t committable offers (we live in an unsavory world). There’s a reason for this late offer.

The position has been a struggle this year until Simpson returned. Williams does his best but there have been a ton of missed assignments.

Would be great to find a way to keep him.

That’s exactly right. It’s a good rule but is being exploited. This one along with defenders going down like they’ve been shot by a sniper in tempo situations needs some revisiting.

Maybe for the season, but beating Montana at their packed house on Espn2 is bigger for the program. The Stanford win was an incredible upset, but the result enabled the administration to continue along the path of underfunding football. The game last night was huge for branding, marketing and recruiting and something that Plough can leverage into funding and players.

Right up there. What a game.

The average Davis student and resident could not tell you the difference between UNC and future Pac 12 member CSU. In fact Nevada, a program with a 30,000 seat stadium, real donors and some history at the D1 level, drew 16k for Colorado State last night.
