In theory, I think the best way to win in pound the rock with long drives, wear them down, and keep them off the field. But if you get 2 scores down, that may be off the table.

They are just shredding us. A touchdown or 2 more and the Ags will not be able to catch up.

If you let their qb extend plays, their receivers will get open.

This is absolutely the vibe of 2021.

Watch out for QB draw

qb extends play and sucks up defenders - leaves receivers wide open.

Got to get more pressire on qb

I was thinking they would go for it but I think they were hoping for field position and defense. Offense seems out of sorts. I think ISU defensive scheme is confusing them.

Matteo Perez is back.

Idaho State is loading the box.

and using another for a spy.

The start of this game looks like the last one in Pocatello.

Great game on ESPN+ Weber - Idaho for those of you that might have that. 28-21 Weber 7:00 to go 4th.

Idaho - Weber game interesting. 13-7 Idaho with 2:00 to go in half.

Edit: Weber 14 Idaho 13 with 0:47 left on half. Weber looking much better last couple games.

Ags were undefeated last time they came to Pokey. A very weird and disappointing result that day. Hope the Ags are focused and not flat like last time.

There was some talk on Montana YouTube channel that Sac players were arguing amongst themselves in the tunnel going into halftime and later half the team refusing to shake hands after the game despite Andy Thompson directing them to. I know Hauck can be a jerk but there may be some locker room disharmony going on with Sac.

in Idaho’s case it was their new coach. I don’t think their facilities are all that great.

yah. Ags have a better passing game than Weber - Weber even moved the ball against ISU with passing. Defense is the difference - that’s why Weber won. EWU got into a shootout with them and lost but EWUs defense is bad.

Weber had a good game plan for ISU. They put a lot of pressure on the QB (7 sacks). Idaho State doesn’t have much of a run game outside of Hayes (QB). Hayes is pretty much a one read guy then looks to run. His most effective running is up the middle and they use some QB draws with him. Cooke (starter) can sling it.

Weber used a 12 package a lot (1 back and 2 tight ends) that served both to protect their freshman QB and to bolster the run game. ISUs defense is suspect and I think a good run game helps to take time off the clock to keep their offense off the field. ISU can score fast - theirs is a high risk-high reward offense that struggles against good defenses.

that would be the prevailing thought, and maybe the “easy” one, but if you taken into consideration the factor of who is getting hot and who is fading, in the scenario of a UCD win out, I think the edge goes to the Aggies. Sac just got blown out and if Davis beats them that would be 3 losses in last 5 games and 4 of last 8 with an eke out win versus NAU. In addition a head to head loss with Davis to end the season. Of course I may be bias but I think there is some consideration for head to head and end of season performance in a W-L tie-breaker situation.
