I tend to agree with BlueGoldAg. The real trap game was one we all sniffed out against Portland State and that should have instilled a strong awareness among the coaches and players that they can't take UNC lightly. Maybe this is a subject for a new discussion, but it seems to me that Coach Plough is doing an incredible job as a first time Head Coach. Considering he inherited most of a 7-4 team from Dan Hawkins, he should be getting some accolades in the post-season if the Ags can get to 10-2.

It's never had the kind of attraction for major college athletes that the natural beauty of the islands might be expected to have. Now with NIL, etc. even less so. Not many big money sponsors here.

I'd have to agree with you that the Pacific Ocean is a pretty big pond. It impacts football here negatively, though. It makes recruiting to Hawai`i difficult and the lure of the Power Four conferences makes it hard to keep the local talent local.

While that makes sense, it makes one wonder why Hawai`i doesn't do better under similar circumstances but with a ton of home grown talent (see DeForest Buckner, Tua Tagovailoa, etc.).

I see that the highly ranked MVC teams are playing one another over the last weeks of the season. If the AGs can finish 9-3, would it be likely that they will move into the top 3 or 4?

South Dakota has to play South Dakota State, North Dakota and North Dakota State. By the way, why are all four Dakota schools so good, not to mention the Montanas?

:smirk:

Stan Becton's Stats Perform FCS Top 25 has UC Davis at #5, where I suspect most polls will have the Aggies tomorrow.

Ags have moved up to #9 in Sagarin's rankings:

My dumping of Cal and the Pac 12 just allows me to focus on the Aggies and 49ers.

Weber State 48, Sac State 48 in first OT.

Now:
UCLA 1-4
USC 1-4
Stanford 1-3
Cal 0-4
Arizona 1-3
Utah 1-2
Only Oregon and Colorado have winning records in conference.

What is the highest UC Davis has ever been ranked in the FCS polls?

One of the more satisfying Aggie wins I've ever seen (but considering I was at UCD pre-Sochor, I haven't seen a lot).

Thanks, but it doesn't make much sense to me.

Anyone know why college football instituted the "2 minute time out?" (To repeat my earlier question)

A field goal would ice it.

Looked like the defense missed an assignment. Gbatu was wide open.

1st plus 3rd quarters: EWU 15, UCD 3. 2nd plus 4th quarters (so far): EWU 9, UCD 42. What's going on here?

I don't like the play-by-play guy. Sloppy. He misses a lot of his ball spots and has made several mistakes in identifying Aggie players.

Total yardage is UCD 367, EWU 349
