I like the way the A&M announcers noted that this is like a pre-season game for the NFL. We can see the coaches trying stuff that they've been working on. If the team looks a little shaky in some areas, it's to be expected in a first game. They have to be happy that the team has not committed a single penalty through three quarters.

Hastings finally gets his passing TD! Gale wide open in the end zone! 41-3

38-24 slac, final.

Perez long run! TD AGGIES!

Nice, now pull the starters.

I suspect that next week's game will be a little tougher. Hawkins should rest the first teamers.

Do you all like that the opener is against an FCS team and the FBS game is second? Or do you prefer the FBS game first?

Oregon State has a very good team. I wouldn't be surprised if they are maybe 2nd or 3rd in the Pac this year.

I agree. Oregon State was very good last year. Beat Florida on their bowl game and I think barely lost to USC.

Clemson QB transferred there after losing his job at end of season.

I don't think they are beating OSU but they'd probably have a better chance at an upset if the FBS game was first. On the other hand it is good to get a win early and not worry about going 0-2 or whatever and trying to get back to .500.

Chukwadobe is fun to watch.

Well, he did hit the guy in the hands.

Interception will end the game! Great game Aggies!

The best chance is if its the first game and your team is pretty veteran and the FBS team made a lot of changes and they may not have their act completely together. The worst situation is if its their second game and your first.

Nice win, questionable competition but lets enjoy this start. I have hotel reservations for Corvallis. Aggie Fin and his dad will be there (his dad was on the miracle team), so hoping the fires subside so its smoke free and good flying weather.

NW has been helped the last week with rain, the Corvalis/Eugene area and Rogue river valley to the south have been badly hit by smoke but that area might get some rain this week. Overall it's looking better than it was.

I'd love to see Reser Stadium but taking son to see the Cougs play Northern Colorado the week after so can't go. Side note, UNC is soooo bad.

Nice work, Ags. I'll be there in Corvallis with a small crew.

All I know is that Oregon State is ranked #18 in the country. Good test for the 17th ranked Aggies. (And yes, I get the difference.)

The box score on the Davis web site has only a passing resemblance to the game.
They got the identities of the players that share numbers confused.
This is the case for 5 of the 22 “starters”.

"I thought our defense played great," said Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins.

"I knew we'd play well because we've been practicing well. We didn't punt all night, which is always a good sign. It's always great to get a win, but it's never as clean as you like. Overall, though, I was pleased."

Added Hawkins, "It's great to get that first win under your belt. Now we have to go home and get ready because the mountain is only going to get steeper."

I'm disappointed Jeremiah
Chukwudobe wasn't given more carries, and earlier. Try him with the 1s, develop some depth. I didn't see his runs, but he ran downhill and through people last year.

How did QB #2 look? Not many reps for a blowout win.

I mean, he went 0/2 with an interception...

Transfers who played significant minutes:
Eli Simonson from Nebraska started, at left tackle played most the game. (Box score has the wrong #70)
Lamont Shamburger, from D3 Benedictine College, played early and most the game.
Semaj Verner, from Boise last year, but didn't play last year started and played a lot
A J Crump transfer from San Jose who didn’t play last year played a substantial amount.
Evan Tattersall from Cal hardly played last year due to injury but started.

Those guys add to an already deep team,

One side effect of not publishing a depth chart is that the people keeping stats don’t have the players numbers sorted by offense and defense in a shorter list, so they get the players mixed up.

TAMC was baaaaaaaad.....but winning the season opener on the road is always huge. That was a tough road trip to open.

Anyone have the link for Coach Hawkins post game interview? Can’t seem to find it.

Haven't seen anything. Watching the film, with as much was made about the west coast boys coming out to Commerce in the heat and humidity, the Aggies looked way more functional for 4 quarters than the Lions did.

An Aggies was never down on the field with a cramp; same thing happened two years ago in Tulsa. The team is very well conditioned.

Davis is routinely in the 100's from July to October. Everyone talks about weather in their part of the world. But, Davis weather isn't much of a difference as far as temp as Texas.
