Time to put the seniors in.

Doss at 199 yards now. Where does that put him for the regular season?

Pint is going to get chubby with all the treats he getting

Pull the starters!

Boy this team has come a long way under Hawkins.

I know Sac State SUCKS(!), but it is always nice to beat those guys.

We put up 691 yards of offense to 297!

But we lost the TOP battle.

We had 450 yards at the half! I know sac had a bunch of injuries but the downfall in talent from last year was stunning. They didn’t have receivers that scared you, and that’s a big change from the past. Thomson was okay, but not like last year (probably not fully healed so hats off to getting out there today)

I had heard we sat 6 defensive starters/contributors with injury and we still stopped them. The big frosh NG played for his 5th game because of injury problems. And they still didn’t run very well.

Very happy for Doss. Very happy for Hicks. TD and huge fake punt. From starting FB under Gould to special teams, blocking TE. And was a leader of this team. Oh
Yeah, heading to Vet school next year. CJ Spenser is another. Check his major! Passed up in the QB ranking, and just contributed to making this a championship team.

Great day to be an Aggie

Very proud of Ethan and CJ. Told them so after the game

I think Brock Dale set the standard last year. He was returning #1, passed by with Maier and he was a leader. Didn’t sulk. I was out for a couple practices last year and he was the most vocal and supportive guy out there. Other players notice that.

I have had a great time this season. Today was great. Roadie to Montana unbelievable. Big Sky champs? Incredible. And we are still putting real students and quality kids out there.

Awesome. The defensive stats looked eskew, players sitting a likely explanation. ... Vet school supposedly tougher to get into than med school!

Interesting also that Modise got carries before Thomas.

Watched via Pluto. Decent broadcast. Missed 3rd quarter, then heard the color man go on and on about his NFL and college experiences. Ugh. They tried to soften the loss for Sac, understandable, but I didn't hear much about Hawkins and his rebuilding program, staff, recruiting haul, or new athletic facility.

Our 1st playoff run in DI!

Playoffs!!!

Again, ESPNU tomorrow at 9:30 am to see where we are. Open doors at ARC 9:00 am

I think he probably meant to say Keelan.

The guy is actually quite charismatic in a very down home way. Is this what the players like about him?
Great that he throws out so much credit to others and does not aggrandize himself. Even Coach Gould. How could anyone not love this guy?

Moe with a little Hawai'ian love, that was great to watch.

Thing I love most about these interviews is how sharp these guys are. Just quality people.

Hawk has reached a point of wisdom and humility in his life that he doesn't need to stroke his own ego. He is one of those rare coaches who really does transcend the wins and loses for the welfare of his players and teaches them to carry on for the better good of others in their lives beyond football. He is an ultimate Aggie.

Were people in the hotels and restaurants aware of the game relocation and difficulties?

Yeah we were stopped by several people aware of the game. Several asked if it was ‘okay’ and if we were treated well. Yes and yes.

We lucked out that SJSU did not want to give up the home game, else our fall back plan would fallen through. The fact that UNR had planned for a possible game allowed this to happen

Home from a really fun weekend in Reno, hanging with Sochorfield, Finn, and Dr./Mrs. Mike. Aggies looked great. Have they peaked? I dont think so - their absolute best is yet to come. Not long ago we were hoping for a winning season. Go Ags!

On our way home. Great game, great weather, great dinner at the Fin & Filet, great walk along the beautiful Riverwalk...we’re so excited about the Ags and the playoffs!

Had a blast, and won enough Saturday night to pay for the trip.

Will get some Lamar and UNI tape up later tonight.

From the Bee.
“The Aggies crushed Sacramento State 56-13 and now stand at a robust 9-2, the program’s best showing since going 9-3 in 2002.

A crowd of 2,482 made the trek to Reno. Some $5,400 was raised for those in need from the Camp Fire, where some 1,100 people remain unaccounted for.”

The one highlight clip I saw of UNI showed a fundamental, solid, lower the shoulder style. But highlights can deceive.

Well said and spot in. It is really liberating to be in that position.
