Idaho is a mystery because they will have played no peer games before playing us.
Nothing can be learned from their game with Simon Frazier. Simon Fraser was DIII last time I paid any attention to them, playing in a conference so small they played home and away games with the other teams. Their coaching staff were mostly used to 12 man rules.
Idaho got blown out against Indiana and will likely suffer the same fate against Oregon State. Its hard to judge how they’ll look against a team they match up with. We’ll be their first FCS game at homecoming. They have their version of TT, Zach Borisch, who ran for 205 yards against Eastern Washington in the spring but hardly played against Indiana.

I saw them lose to San Diego State in the seventies when they were 13th ranked and San Diego State was unranked but 8-1-1, having lost to Fullerton and tied USC. SDSU beat them soundly, a fine memory. I like to see them do well just because I saw the team in person once.
The Civilized Tribes reference was related the Seminole being one of the five “civilized tribes” The city of Tulsa is largely within the Muskogee reservation. The Muskogee were also one of the five “civilized tribes”

in the instance you linked to it actual human votes, which makes it political.

Maybe. We have a 170 lb starter, how sturdy is he going to be? Don’t know if Hastings or Faulk is better.
Might end this season with TT at QB.
He needs some game action at QB to show what he can and can’t do. I’d love to see him play some more regular QB series, show that he can complete some passes.

The computer ranking don’t mean much at this point because they took last season as their starting point and last season was so disrupted. For example where should we be ranked compared to Sac which didn’t play. Also some conferences played no out of conference teams so how do you rank teams with no common opponents? In a few weeks they’ll make more sense.because they’ll just use this years results.

But they’re packing the house for Dixie State.
Most seasons we play enough ranked teams in league. I wish South Dakota State wasn’t on the schedule next year.
I do feel nostalgic enough to wish we would play some of the old “college” powerhouses like Delaware. But not in the midst of a string like Cal, Weber, and the two Montanas

This years schedule includes three games against teams that are not in the top 200; according to Sagarin’s rankings. San Diego, Dixie, and SLO.

The advantage of running run “ trick” plays with personnel not giving it away suggests that we should run regular plays with TT in at a regular position sometimes. He could be in there as a slot back.
Imagine TT getting the ball on some screen plays with a few blockers or in Fly sweeps.
Then without changing personnel have him take a snap at qb, with Rodrigues as a wideout. In the spring they had HR and TT together in the backfield, and either could get the snap. We could run some “special” plays with no huddle, so they don’t have time to substitute. Not to mention TT might be able to run most of our offense when he does take a snap so they don’t know what the play is until it develops.

Not a good season so far for the Civilized Tribes.

The real mystery team is Idaho. Two games so lopsided you can’t judge.
They play Oregon State next, we’ll be their first FCS game.

Perhaps we’ll be complaining about our schedule next year if we’re 0-2 after Cal and South Dakota State.
Cal Poly was likely a winnable game for them, as Cal Poly is still a work in progress. Can’t blame the schedule for losing to an unranked FCS team, when you're a perennial playoff contender. If they were 1-1 they wouldn’t be complaining about the schedule.

I think his best comment was on the two point conversions that somebody must have seen something.
When KDVS broadcast the games they had better commentators. Doug Kelly knows something about the Kansas City Chiefs on the 20th century. That’s got him this far, and he’s comfortable with that.

I’m mystified why we have Doug Kelly as a commentator. Since I knew from watching the Cal Poly game that the San Diego play by play guy wasn’t the greatest, I watched the game with KTHK for audio. Big disappointment. Its just sad People get lazy in jobs, and those two guys are a case study.
They don’t know the roster. Its not that challenging to internalize that some jersey numbers are used by different players on offense and defense. At one point they informed us that Trever Facey was getting a lot of play as a reserve linebacker, he.s a 5’7” diminutive running back, who shares a roster number with a linebacker who’s played a lot over the last two years. The guy who’s not doing play by play should be able to catch that kind of error.
I think you could listen to Kelly all season and not learn a thing. He has no association with the school, what’s he doing there?

May e they should try it on regular downs.

Question. Why the unusual formations for two points. Kelly ventured that somebody somewhere somehow saw something,

Budgett started last week too

And our radio team is pretty bad too

Half over

Radio team think Trever Facey is a reserve linebacker. LOL He and Scharerg share #33

Here is a post about the team with some quotes from Hawkins about the Tulsa game and San Diego, probably from a site you’re unlikely to come across. This extra long week creates long gaps between news for this team.
