I'll be able to watch the game as I have ESPN+, but I have to step out an hour into the broadcast, so I won't be able to see the end of the game live. If it's a blow out for the Bobcats, I might not check back into the broadcast until after I see what you guys are saying about how the game is progressing. This is an unexpected benefit of this chat group. I can monitor the game as your posts unfold. I hope I see a lot "Ags storming back" or something along those lines.

I hate to note this, but the Aggies "won" in every major statistical category: time of possession, total yards, turnovers, penalties, third down efficiency... except field goal percentage. This adds strength to the addage that the only stat that counts is points scored.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Can't say we didn't have a chance--or lots of chances, but as I wrote earlier, I expected to be disappointed. We can blame either Hawkins the elder or Hawkins the younger, but the offense failed to execute when it needed to. Hastings was off on a lot of his third down throws, but some credit goes to the Wildcat defense.

This is one of those games I've seen too often: A lot of frustrating moments and missed opportunities. In my experience this kind of game ends badly. Hope this time is an exception.

If Hastings hadn't overthrown Gilliam on the previous drive, the score would be 20-17 Aggies, but there's lot of time left. D has to step up again.

Didn't Hawkins eschew a field goal against Cal when it would have put the Ags ahead 10-0? I can only surmise that he makes his decisions in the context of the opponent and how he sees the game developing?

On the positive side, Aggies have turned things around a lot on defense. At the half, Weber State has 195 total yards and 9 first downs vs. UCD's 226 total yards and 14 first downs.

Interesting that ESPN+ has replays this week, unlike last week.

Fumble recovery! Good start.

Does anyone know the spread for the Weber State game?

Yes, I think that's about right.

I spent 8 years at the University of Washington and the fans there told me that Oregon fans are notorious for not respecting any bounds when it comes to disrespecting other teams, their fans or their players. I'm not sure where that comes from because I've never met anyone who went there that was of such a despicable nature. Maybe it takes a few beers?

Yes, I can rewind, I meant that I would like to see a different camera angle of the play.

I wish ESPN+ had replay. I'd like to see that 4th down Hook and Lateral play again.

Nothing shifts momentum like over-confidence.

As to San Diego being in the Pioneer League with all those east coast schools, it doesn't make much geographical or economic sense to me, given the cost of travel. The WAC has teams in Texas and Utah which are closer.

Nuts, I just jinxed us.

Gilliam alone has more yards than USD

That WAS too easy. Aggies outgaining the Toreros 212 to 94.

It doesn't look like it's raining on TV, but is it? It would be nice to have a lot of rain, but after the game.
