    Legit Question for the Davis gang, and I'll preface as saying this is not a shade throwing exercise because we've all seen how improved Poly is this season and I personally think, with Rex questionable, that this is going to be one hell of a game.

    How will the Aggies fare in San Luis Obispo offensively?
    Poly 2025 Season So Far:
    @ San Diego, W 41-17
    @ FBS No. 25 Utah, L 9-63
    vs. Western Oregon, W 56-7
    @ Stephen F. Austin, L 17-35
    @ FCS No. 21 Sac State, @ 32-24

    Is the Sac game a product of Sac being careless with the football or was that Poly game planning like nobody's business?

    Poly's travel has been f****** brutal - now their home fans get a proper FCS game to watch, and it's an in-state rival, so expecting a pretty nutso crowd.

    We've scored 146 points in the last three games against them. Defensive scheme is pretty similar to the past. If they have any chance of making this game close, it will have to be in a shootout. Their offense scored 2 TD on a short field and had a pick 6 against Sac. Not like they're lighting it up

    Against Sac we started our 4th string QB. To be fair he beat out our 3rd string QB who threw 3 INTs against SFA when he replaced an injured Deiffenbach. Deiffenbach leads the Big Sky in passing efficiency at 196.2. If he is cleared to play he is a difference maker.

    There is no doubt that Deiffenbach makes a HUGE difference. Fortunately, he doesn't play Defense and the trend is that UCD will score on Poly. Deiffenbach gives them an absolute chance to get the shootout they'll need, he can spin it.

    Southern Utah and Weber are not that good. We don't know how good Davis is yet. Cal Poly beat Sac St and play SFA close until they lost their primary QB and gave up a punt return and interception for TD's. Cal Poly defense played Sac St tough. I think this will be a close game. I took the under on our points guess at Davis scoring between 21-30.

    One thing that gives me pause is UCD's schedule so far has been a lot of teams with Massey rankings currently in the 30+ range (including Mercer), which is a borderline awful schedule by Big Sky standards.

    Cal Poly, Idaho State, and Sac State might play us as tough or tougher than anybody has so far, and that's not to mention an NAU/Idaho tier of teams we haven't played yet and MSU a half-tier above that.

    I'm personally predicting something like 31-21 or even 31-28 final score, and am bracing myself for it coming down to the fourth quarter.

    I'm ready for a 52-point reality check courtesy of the high flyin' Ags.

    Why? Cuz I'm hella stoked and biased. In reality it might be very close :lol:

    I respect Cal Poly a lot and expect it to be a competitive game

    UCD's schedule so far has been a lot of teams with Massey rankings currently in the 30+ range (including Mercer), which is a borderline awful schedule by Big Sky standards.
    Comparing to Poly.with Massey ratings of opponents leaving out losses.
    #29 Mercer, #33 Weber are closely ranked near #30 Sac
    No one Davis played is lower rated than San Diego. And then there is Western Oregon.

    The Sac game is the only comparable game between us and Poly. San Diego has no scholarships and only a few "slots", while Western Oregon is a very average Division II team. Both of us got whipped in money games, so throw those out. If SLO's QB1 is available, it changes everything. He has some weapons and it might be a real shootout. If he's out, Ags by 2 TD. If he's in, coupled with the depleted Aggie Defense, hold on to you seats.

    Offense and Special Teams are driving the bus until the Defense equalizes and discovers how to adapt with their star OLB and FS both out.
