Poly @ Griz '25

wa griz is my bucket list stadium in the big sky, but I don’t know if I’d find a game as luckily nice as the weather seemed yesterday

Sac & Weber played in a steady 42 degree rain. Sac is deep in quality running backs, tough to beat them in bad conditions.

Idaho may pick up their fifth loss before playing us. They’ll be underdogs at Flagstaff in two weeks, and may need Wood back to beat Eastern Wa.. The broadcast said they had eight players unavailable for yesterdays game. They don’t have the depth they had last year, those guys are in New Mexico.

Harvard and Mercer look likely to make the playoffs. Which would you rather play?

this is a tough one. Maybe Harvard? But also we’ve had a look at Mercer (although they changed qbs)

I'd love to see a Harvard vs the Aggies game. It would be great to actually get a home and home with them at some point in the future. Two great academic schools with great athletic programs as well...both schools have "true student athletes" who have to get it done in the classroom and on the playing field.

maybe in the playoffs!

its a challenge for us to get them on the schedule. their first game was Sept 20 which would have been our 3 game, even in a normal year (without the zero week and bye). They don't want to come out here for their opener vs a team with 2 games, and traveling cross country for us right before the conference opener isn't ideal. That being said, some of the Ivy's have been out to USD and Poly in the past. I'm not sure if they will opt in to the 12-game schedule (i doubt it) and that will make it even less likely.

Luke wood’s confidence never ends

...nor does his hype...

Northern Colorado @ Idaho

After suffering a lengthy delay in Ogden, Sac and Weber finally started playing late into the night - Sac rolled, and they've been scoring a ton of points lately save for the Cal Poly upset where their QB was a turnover machine (credit to Poly). Are they firing on all cylinders now?...or is this another peak wave, before the next crash out?

Our QB can't throw, and that's gonna bite us....

You mean like medically can't throw? That's wild if that's the case.

After sloppily reviewing the opening drives for both teams, I have reached the following conclusions on UNC and Idaho:
1. Idaho is not as good as they were last year. They do not look like they did in '24, especially in the Front 7 defensively.
2. While improved, Northern Colorado is not Southern Utah-good on offense and they look more like NAU as far as the dink-and-dunk stuff. They are very comfortable with what they are though, and they are better than they have been.

Just my initial impressions...

I heard he lost both arms...dining hall accident

The Hornets QB's have not thrown the ball well all year

This is true. But he runs a 4.3, so he plays.

my prediction for NOCO vs Sac is
27 NOCO
24 Sac

Sac State has three wins, with the narrowest margin 21 points. They have either won in a blowout or lost.
Sac has a pretty good pass defense. Northern Colorado is giving up five yards a carry, Sac just rushed for 400 yards., I don't like N. Colorado's chances.

Bye weeks are boring so I'll chime in with a prediction:

Sac State 35
Northern Colorado 17

Too many athletes

I think Sac by two scores. 38-24

Sac 42 - 20

If anyone finds a complete game video of the UNC @ Sac game, please post it here. I'd like to watch it here in Paris. Merci!

With Sac's roster they should be beating everyone by 30.

There's a reason those players did not catch on at other programs

Spot on.

Exactly. Physical size and speed only go so far.
