• 2023 Season Preview
    The table is truncated but if you go to the twitter page you can see CJ Hutton and Trent Tompkins. Trent is not that fast in the 40 but has the best agility score and L-drill score of any of our players.
  • 2023 Season Preview
    We only have a 39% chance if winning at Weber, a team whose QB transferred, and also lost 3 transfers to BYU?
    I think our team looks solid. Lost some good players but have a guys with experience for every spot. Biggest question mark possibly tight end and receivers because we lost some good ones, but we return quite a few as well.
  • 2023 Season Preview
    How do we interpret this? Have many players on other teams been tested? Seems unlikely that we have two linebackers tied for first in the agility test.
    Teddye Buchanan really impresses in these tests and he weighs 239 lbs.
  • New Rule Changes for Football
    I don't have an opinion on the rule. Drives will use more clock, and that assists offenses that aspire to minimize the opponents possessions by dominating time of possession. May be small effect, we’ll see.
  • New Rule Changes for Football
    Now long drives can eat up more clock. Eventually a team will use up 15 minutes on a possession the current longest drive record is 14min 26 sec.
  • The UC Davis Football Draft/UDFA Thread
    I’m just talking FCS football and offensive linemen being 6’3”, where anyone would have to say Amoah was a standout. Remember when Poly changed from the triple option there was discussion of their tackles being to short for a more pass oriented offense, and they were 6’3” if I recall correctly.
  • The UC Davis Football Draft/UDFA Thread
    Nick Amoah started every game for us at left tackle was first team all conference, made some all American FCS teams, signed with the Bears and yet some people still think 6’3” is too short for playing offensive tackle at this level on a team that runs a balanced offense.
  • The UC Davis Football Draft/UDFA Thread
    I see that a former tight end at the University of San Diego, Dalton Kincaid, transferred to Utah and was taken in the first round. That is even better than Joshua Kelley did a few years ago starting at Davis without a full scholarship and then going in the fourth round after transferring to UCLA. I’m sure there will be a lot of players tempted to try, but the extra year gave a lot of the recent transfers more remaining eligibility, so they won’t be as attractive to the FBS teams. I think we wont see as many graduate student transfers, as those years get used up.
    Transferring up and getting drafted happens but I bet it is a low probability event. College recruiting seems to identify the top players better than it did a few decades back.
  • “New” FCS football conference
    Pretty competitive conference, I think they deserve an automatic bid. We played a few of those teams.
  • 2023 Season Preview
    They ended winter practice March 4th. They don't generate any stories about the team during the off season anymore. They do have a couple of press releases, but there is no news in them.
  • 2023 Week 1: UC Davis @ Texas A&M Commerce
    Did anyone comment that their next game after Davis is Sac State in Sacramento? Pretty tough scheduling for them, since they have some usually strong teams in conference as well.
  • 2023 Week 1: UC Davis @ Texas A&M Commerce
    The 2021 Tulsa game started at 6:30 and the temperature was 93 degrees. The Aggie fitness was really a high point of that game as we dominated at the end of the game.
    The time currently listed on the Texas A&M Commerce site is 6:00 PM.
  • 2023 Season Preview
    Poerio was discussed in the Aggie Pro Day article, which says last year was his last season, even though he still has a year of eligibility left, so he’s moving on.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    Ambagtsheer hopefully will be back healthy. After that scouting report from a Cal fan, I was watching for his return, but he only got into one game, and left with an injury.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    I like Chukwudobe too.
    He is now 195lb and he runs with determination.
    I don’t know if he’s sacrificed much speed but he ran a sub 11 second 100 in high school. (They did a profile on him in winter of 2020, but they incorrectly understated his speed by a full second}
    We haven’t seen him catch anything.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    One thing in favor of the new QB coach is that he coached a QB that got a lot of yards per completion.
    We are lucky to have Larison who gained nearly 500 yards at 7.5 yards per carry and is a good receiver. We have to hope our backs can be a durable as Gilliam, he was amazing in that regard.
  • Hack City's 2023 Big Sky Football Preview
    These guys talked about four teams, notably ignoring Weber. Davis doesn’t play Montana State or Idaho this season. I think Sac comes back to the pack in 2023, Montana will have a new QB, likely a guy at this third school without playing much so QB will be a big question for them. Montana has supposedly the best HS recruit at running back they’ve ever had. Overall, I think the league schedule is maybe a bit easier, with us missing some of the tougher teams.
  • Mike Cody promoted to OC
    Yeah but he was comparing to prior years, where he said they had worked on new things more, that they didn’t end up using., It sounded like they didn’t put in much that was new. Which is noteworthy when you change offensive coordinators.
