Idaho playing great football right now - Montana State is going to absolutely roll us - Sac is always a crazy s***show.

Who would have thought the score would be as low as 38-36 after that first quarter?

Should have been 44-31, UC Davis, so team can only blame themselves.

Can't wait for the presser(s) on this one.

Exactly this. It was a matter of time IMO.

Can't ask for much more from the offense. 3 turnovers I guess (or 2 during the normal course of the game when they're not forcing it downfield). But still had 567 yards and 36 points. That should be enough.

I just feel like some of the calls this game were really suspect. I don’t understand some of the over-aggressive play calls.

Defensive end has too many injuries.

Hope Vargas is ok. Gonna need as many players as possible to win another game or two.

I still think our playoff chances are pretty good but the invincibility shield that was this team despite all the injuries has fallen and unless then can reformulate after this game it’s concerning for actually playoff games

What a screw up, right from the first drive.

2 touchdowns called back due to penalty on that one drive and blocked punt for TD. Just too many penalties.

I know plough has talked about the inability to defend the return but it really has been weird this year.

Let's not forget how the game started...

So, I'm guessing after this season there will be an open advertisement for a Special Teams Coordinator?

That basically ruins any chance of a seed which is too bad because there were some other upsets today. They really need to beat Idaho and Sac now. That Mercer no contest could hurt if things are equal especially with NAU win looking less good. If Sac beats the Ags, I think they get in ahead.

This reminded me of the 2018 game when the Idaho State kicker missed a gimme field goal to lose the game in Davis. I just knew the Frank Sinatra guy would make it.

Defense and special teams travel - and are huge when offense sputters. With all the injuries on the defensive side, cannot make mistakes or turnovers.

I think it’s worth noting if we are going to be positive at all that we still were able to be 6-1 with a ton of injuries. Yes, more and more injuries means less and less weapons but I really don’t think it’s panic mode.

Where do we drop in rankings? Seems like a few top 10 teams could lose today.

Brooks, 24 carries for 219 yards and 2 TDs.
If he's not Big Sky OPOTW, what the heck.

It certainly makes things harder. Not going to take the time to run through all the teams, but if they beat Sac and Idaho, they'll be in consideration at 8-3. At that point it comes down to style points. Beat those two teams by 2 TDs each and have a respectable showing at Montana St and you get a seed. Squeak by Idaho and Sac and lose to Montana St by 24, you're in the 9-16 range.

Finish 8-3 in the Big Sky, regardless of the exact scores of the games, and we'll get a home game. Might not be a bye though. 7-4, there's likely not a home game (unless it's something like a close loss to MSU, a close loss to either Sac/Idaho and an easy win).

Chapatte has been with the program for a while now... 5th year as TE coach, but his first as the special teams coordinator. Whatever he's doing isn't working. Tons of blocked kicks against us, poor return coverage... yikes.

I will say the kickoff team can improve if we can consistently bang out touchbacks...we obviously can't do that. For what it's worth, we all don't like Hauck all that much, but his teams are gangbusters on Special Teams - as a point of emphasis. A Head Coach has to set up all 3 phases for success.

11,000 at the game again today. Looking like this year will easily be our best attendance ever. That’s a damn bright spot for the Aggies in the past few years.

What do you think the highest upside for Sac this year is if they win out?

I think they'll blow out Portland State in Hillsboro
Solid matchup vs. Idaho, if Sac manages to win that by 2 or more scores...it's a good thing.
Sac has to beat Davis regardless to get in, my two cents.

I mean regarding playoffs? I assume they can't get a seed.

Oh, no seed, not without complete craziness in the Top 16. Sac could earn a Top 16 spot if they win out...and they are running the ball well right now, though Eastern has been inconsistent on defense.

Sac could definitely get a home game if they win out. 3 of their 4 losses were to FBS, South Dakota St and Montana. Would have a good win over us too.

Not just us blowing home games. South Dakota State lost 24-12 at home to a now 3-6 Indiana St team.
