Yes it does and we didn't win a single close game this year.

Has any coach at any level done what Troy Taylor has done at Sac in just 3 years? It's astonishing...

We lost quite a few players to injuries in today's game. If we were to get in, we would probably be at much less than full strength also.

I honestly think that we are as good as at least half, if not more, of the teams that will get in but, unfortunately, I don't think we will get in. We have 4 close loses to highly ranked FCS teams and one FBS team but, the fact remains, that we have only one win that anyone notices and that's the win over Idaho in their house. Are we good enough, yes, compared to many of the teams that will get in. Will we get in, no. Sac gave us the boot.

After getting slaughtered today, I think Montana is out also. It would be a biased travesty if they get in...

Unfortunately, that's the story in the Big Sky Conference.
Strength of schedule will always be a crap shoot each year with some teams benefiting and others getting screwed.

EWU 45 Northern Colorado 21 - Final

Final stats were pretty even although it felt like Sac was never in serious trouble. They made the big plays when they needed them and Taylor surprised us at critical times with his superior play calling. Our defense put in a valiant effort. The coaching edge goes to Sac State in this one. Sac also has a punishing defense and they sent several of our key players out of the game with clean but brutal hits.

Total yards: Sac 426 Aggies 420
Passing: Ags 307 Sac 236
Rushing: Sac 133 Aggies 90

We're probably better than half or more of the teams that will get into the playoffs but I think we'll be on the bubble and one of the first 4 out.

Well, Taylor showed us why he has built perhaps the best FCS program in the country after taking over a miserable program. He can certainly recruit and his play calling was the biggest difference in the game along with how physical the Sac defense is. Sac just might go undefeated while winning the FCS National Championship and, if that happens, the Sac recruiting will be off the charts. He's taken Sac to where we would like to be in just 3 years. Very, very impressive and not good for us...

Why not spike the ball instead of throwing to the sidelines with 13 seconds left and set up a play or 2 to the end zone?

Our defense is keeping us within striking distance but our offense is dead in the water. We need to create a big break...

Great job by the Aggie D!

I think you're posting your thoughts in the wrong thread. We've got a game thread going...

Miles is not sharp today...

Wow...Hastings overthrew a sure TD....

We need to play with our hair on fire in the second half.

Sac passing game is doing the most damage. Dunniway and O'Hara are a combined 12-13 for 161. Hastings is 10-16 for 108.

Idaho 38 Idaho State 7 - Final
Weber State 31 Northern Arizona 28 - Final
EWU 35 Northern Colorado 21 at the end of the 3rd.

Total yards at the half: Sac 240 Aggies 188
Passing: Sac 161 Aggies 108
Rushing: Aggies 80 Sac 79

We're hanging around. It felt more lopsided than the score shows. We'll need to create a break or two to have a chance. Sac is just so fundamentally solid on both sides of the ball and Taylor's play calling is amazing.

God, did we ever need that!
