Furman-Montana synopsis: two very good defenses and two very poor passing performances. Game won by special teams differential.

haha yah, that would be an alternate definition.

Classy well fed Montana fans dropping f-bombs on TV.

QBs who can run a bit are a definite asset.

Don’t know why Furman punt returner doesn’t want to catch the ball. Giving up 15 yards or so of field position.

yah, I am not a Montana fan mainly because of their coach - and their fans can be insufferable.

Furman defense looks good early. McDowell not handling pressure well.

yah. Maybe a better analogy would have been Castles. Although everyone has unique reasons.

Both Tattersall and Smalley were good pickups. Should be easier to transfer within UC system. Chance to pick up someone wanting more playing time perhaps and still get a UC degree.

Thanks for organizing.

MSU should have gone for 2 to end it. NDSU would not have been stopped in second round of OT. MSU lost in part due to poor special teams (2 missed field goals and the missed extra point in OT).

Chambers is hurt too. Gonna be tough for Montana State in OT. Their first string running back was unavailable too. NDSU will probably win on OT

Montana States weaknesses are passing game and field goal kicking. Just as I say that they score with a pass. Worked off a fake run.

Bennet out and Sac looking to be in big trouble. Their secondary is looking porous.

I think another reason for Rex to stay is to stay with his brother Porter.

Davis beat SUU in 2019 33-25. I remember watching that game. They had to use a reserve QB as running back due to injuries.

Wow didn't see that coming at all

Doesn’t surprise me too much. With grandkids and Cody now at ISU and being at a “retirement age” I’m sure he had been thinking about it. Glad he brought the program back and I am sure he will find plenty to do. I am going to miss his press conferences. One only has to watch a Bobby Hauck press conference to realize how good he has been for the University.

Chris Peterson would be great, but he’s probably enjoying what he’s doing now. Would be a similar arc as Hawk in that he’s doing TV commentating on FOX games like Hawk did on ESPN prior to returning to HC. His kids are older now. I think Plough would be a good hire too. I thought he was a good OC. This year’s Aggie defense was the best I can ever remember. They kept the Aggies in games and won some. If the defense can stay at this level and the offense can be sparked up a bit, I think that could get them over the hump.

I think it is still a plus to hire someone who has been with the program. I think culture is more important at Davis than other schools. It may have been more so in the past with academic interests of athletes and academic requirements, but even with some academic relaxations after moving up I think it is still important.

This board might benefit from a poster filter function when ignoring does not seem to work.

North Dakota announcer said “Sac State has a tendency to quit when things are not going well”. He prefaced it with “I probably shouldn’t say this but ….. I’m going to”.
