Montana 89 yards of offense in first half. Weber only 139. Kind of boring to watch. Montana offense very conservative with Brown. Montana’s offense (or lack thereof) is their weakness.

Robby Hauck looked like he was running in concrete trying to catch the Weber guy after whiffing on the TD run.

yah, can’t say that I like the main announcer. Emphasizes everything forcefully and just talks too much.

Lucas Johnson out for Montana. I’d say Weber tje definite favorite.

understand :-).

With the acknowledgment/assumption that the Ags need to win out to get into the playoffs, I think I will be pulling for Sac State. An Aggie win over Idaho combined with an additional Idaho loss to Sac would put UCD in a better position than Idaho (with the opening proviso) to gain a playoff invitation.

What did Povey’s injury appear to be?

Re-watching the video, he got sort of a cheap shot blind side away from the ball when the play was virtually over. He got hit in the side and went down awkwardly on his other (right) side. If I were to guess it was some sort of a shoulder injury - maybe right. It certainly did not look to be a lower leg injury. Banks then took over as center. I noticed they got a lot of O-linemen in the game which is good for experience. My guess is that Pettick will still be out - last injury appeared to be a re-injury of initial one. A couple of O-lineman might have had quite a few practice snaps this week.

I saw Chubba in the game midway third quarter. Thorpe was still out too.

so was I ….ha ha

and cheerleaders in denim with milk cans…..

yes, remember him and LOL - he’s got a couple years on me. He coached poly in 2008 when they lost to Wisconsin in overtime by 1 point. I think their kicker missed a couple extra points that game (ouch). I remember listening to it.

and Idaho has only 1 more top echelon team to play while Montana has 2. Montana could well drop games against Weber and Montana State. Their name recognition and having their AD on the selection committee could get them in with 4 league losses (and probably would although I would question it with their weak first half of season schedule. Will be interesting to see how Idaho fares against Sac.

Weber State commits FOUR safeties!

Amazing. I felt sorry for the guy but I think Hill should have gone to someone else after 2 of those. I was thinking maybe the turf had a much lower coefficient of friction or something but I think long snappers actually lift the ball a bit before snapping it. And all were to the punters left, not just high. I would have thought after the first one the snapper would be practicing on the sideline - maybe he was.

Both Hill and Hauck are going to need some counseling this week.

I will say though, did Montana lay a foundational plan on how to beat Slac?

They sure did. It seems Montana was better prepared than Sac for the game. They wanted to take the air out of the ball. They knew they couldn’t get in a fast pace shootout with Sac. Plus they had Johnson running the ball if things opened up - that was a big mistake on the Idaho game when he chose to pass instead of run in similar situations. On top of that very sloppy play by Sac (penalties and turnovers). Special teams was Montana’s undoing with missed and blocked field goals and Sac’s onside kick. Who would have thought that with 4 turnovers Sac would win? Yes the Sac catch sure looked OB - only thing that saved it was call on field. Montana is in trouble with Brown at QB.

I thought it was BOS - I kept thinking “what does Brian Bosworth have to do with Cal Poly?” Not quite as impressive as something like 406 that covers the whole state (Montana).

Have to say Hastings had another nice game. He does a good job of not getting flustered and keeping his eyes downfield. Gale has got some wheels. Looks like he could be a wide out - but effective at tight end. Likely not the blocker like Castles and Thorpe. Lot of players making contributions. Rex Conners another very good game. Good to see Buchanan back. Tompkins was back but I’m my limited watching and attempts for him - he doesn’t look quite as confident with his quick cuts. He was amazing at that last year - I wonder if his ankle is not quite 100%. Good to see him on the field though.

That is where Trent Tompkins would come in handy. Maybe Larison a good option for a couple tough yards. They know Hastings isn’t going to run it.

Loose zone defense so east short passes. Going to man to man closer to red zone.

record holder for clipboard toss. Lot of hair gel too.

gusty winds in previous times would be worrying due to pass heavy offense - but Aggie running game is solid. Nothing to stop the winds on the Great Plains.

Can’t wait for Sac State to beat Montana so I can watch another press conference with Bobbie Hauck. His last one was quite telling of his lack of class. He either insinuated or directly told the reporters their questions were stupid. It sure doesn’t make the university look good - but in reality he’s just debasing himself. If I were the athletic director I would have a talk with that guy.

Idaho 1.2 yards per rush Montana 1.9 yards per rush.
Montana Presser. Bobbie Hauck at his usual amicable self. Man, how would you like being a reporter asking him a question after a loss?
