A lot of 2 tight end offense. Probably for running. Great catch by simpson

Great defense.

one was a hot pass.

Simpson is just back from injury. Would think you’d throw to Gale and Williams.

yes. Keep scoring.

echo. Chism is real good. Rex got a bit disoriented on turn.

Watch for on side kick

saw him on the field.

CJ!

LAN!

Got to get rid of the ball or roll out.

Terrible punt. Pointing game has had me worried all season. It is against the wind - but.

Poly 14 Idaho 3 at half

Poly moving the ball and Idaho looking awful quite frankly - no offense. I do think Idaho’s first 2 running backs are out.

Agreed. Last year was the first real chance. Had Lan not been injured no way the Eags win. He had about 250 yards rushing when he was injured mid 3rd quarter and EWU was simply unable to stop him. At the end of the third quarter it was 24-20 UCD. Aggies did not score after Lan got injured. Of course it’s all ifs and buts.

I think you are correct with Toomey attemdance. But with both “moving up”, a new stadium, and more than twice the student population, current attendance is still not impressive. Again I think due to student demographics and west coast blase attitude toward college football.

No. Not that I am aware of. A sweep is a run …. the issue arises when it’s a pass. And a pop pass is behind the line.

Almost got them there in 2022 though.

Correct, if caught behind the line of scrimmage all bets are off. And if beyond the line of scrimmage linemen cannot downfield block. I remember the latter when Tehran Thomas’ TD run was called back in Fargo (I was there) due to him catching the ball maybe 1/4 yard beyond the line of scrimmage while a lineman was engaging a defender. A major turn in that close game (2019).

agree with the student enrollment not being a factor in a competitor

@Jdur There are 40,000 students, not fans at Davis. Way back when I was a student in the late 70’s the attendance at home games at Toomey were typically 7-10 k, and I remember the Nevada Reno game having 13,000 (SRO). I think the capacity of the Toom was maybe 8,000 at best even with the end zone bleachers. Student enrollment then was about 18,000 to include graduate students, so by simple proportion one would think there would be at least twice the number of students attending home games. I don’t see that. I think a main factor is changing student demographics, with fewer being exposed to football prior to college. Add to that the general cultural malaise towards college football in California (especially Northern). Given this, I fail to see how playing a mountain east school for instance would draw significantly more attendance than current trends. I watch what SJ State games I can get and when the drone pans from above I don’t see more than maybe 5-6k people on the stands. Cal’s stadium is never more than half full unless game day comes.

In the south, it doesn’t matter who you play - the stadium is packed. Tennessee could play Sisters of the Poor and there would be 105,000 in attendance. Even at NC State there is not much difference. They had 58,000 (near or at capacity) when they played Western Carolina, a FCS team not even in the top 10.

Anyway I don’t know what the answer is to getting attendance figures bumped up.

My weather app (weather underground) shows 15 mph winds at kickoff. That could affect the passing game somewhat. Certainly not like the winds in Brookings during the playoff game a couple years ago.
