when your RB goes 330 yards, you don’t need to pass much!

i don't put stock into point spreads at the FCS level, BUT, we're listed as 2.5-point favorites this weekend. that seems like a stretch. they beat Poly and SUU (home) by a similar scores, and have a nice win over UNI. two close losses to Nevada and San Diego State, both who are a bit down this year. after they ran for a mile last week, I would have thought they'd be solid favorites. hopefully, no wind on saturday so we can throw the ball all four quarters.

The injury explanation fits with what I sensed watching. We got really vanilla on D, because we didn’t have personnel to change things up. What was frustrating was the 4 or 5 times we got a good rush in 3rd, hit the QB, but let him escape to make a big play and keep drives going. Make a few of those plays and you stop their momentum and put it away

from what Hawkins was saying on a coaches’ show, you can suit up an ‘unlimited’ number for home games, but limited for travel squads. Big advantage with the new redshirt rule

I think our injury situation is causing us to play overly cautious in these second half. We seem to be carrying more and more skill players ‘just in case’ and that, along with injuries, is leaving us thin on defense. Hardly any blitzes in second half which let that guy bide his team ( and we missed 4 or 5 sacks with poor tacking) and let them chip away. Offense got cautious, some might be due to the winds, some just to keep defense off the field. Weber will be tough. Good to be home where we can suit u more guys, maybe give the D more breathers.

you can get an additional year if it’s a medical redshirt. Thomson st Sac is in his 6th year. You have to petition for an additional year, not sure how that all works.

not sure if he will still do basketball. New guy, Scott Moak, is a former Ag (KDVS announcer) who is the King’s PA announcer so he’ll have conflicts

yes; there was an article about it last week before the game

I like the new PA guy, but I prefer Kay to the new guy. He’s a little too low key for me. I stopped by the beer garden on the south end and that was quick; probably mid first quarter

I’d recommend listening to the countdown to kickoff podcast that Scott Marsh does. Guest is Demario Warren. Good insights about SUU, as well as some good conversation about his Aggie connection

Forecast for the game time TONIGHT is 53 dropping to 43 at 9. Tomorrow is supposed to be 5 degrees warmer and sunny. That shouldn’t effect us. More concerned about the mounting injuries at the skill spots. Sounds like they are getting key guys back to health

unfortunately Ornelas got injured going up for a long pass and missed much of the 2nd half. hopefully just a minor thing (like a hip pointer from landing on the turf)

the Poly game? we had 402 yards of offense. not bad. except they had 300 MORE yards. 704 on the day. that may have been the game when Poly went for it on something like 4th and 3 on their OWN 10, and there was no doubt in anybody that they would make it. they did.

the MSU game. we rung up 610 yards of offsense. SIX HUNDRED AND TEN. and they had 737. yikes. on the plus side, we dominated time of possession!!! Ben Scott threw for 379 yards, 4 TD. Manzanares ran for 143. and we got beat by 40. that's crazy.

they got derailed by injury last year. they lost a TON of starters on defense, and Thomson after (i think) 4 games. that, and i think they gave up a bit on Sears. They are playing alot of young guys -> maybe fruits of that big signing class they had the same year as ours.

I thought MSU was going to hit 100!

How about Brad Sorenson-Tyson Poofs combination? i swear those guys KILLED us in the 2010 era! they had back-to-back years of putting up 55 points on us, one time of a wet, miserable night at Aggie Stadium!

based on their record (1-6 with a win over a one-win S.F. Austin) and some of their loses, we should be strong favorites. 14 points on the road. yeah, i wouldn't put the pension on that! we've not been a sure bet when its come to the point spreads this year!

SUU has been giving up alot of yards on the ground. if we can get our run game going, like in the 1st half Saturday v. Poly, i think we can put up alot of points. they haven't shown the ability to score much. but, a fall evening in Eakles Colisseum gives me a bit of a pause!

14 point favorite, similar to last week. I’d be feeling better about this game if it were an afternoon kickoff. Forecast is decent (high of 65, low of 29), but could be pretty chilly in the 4th. Need a fast start

the minimum requirements at Poly are the same as Sac -> both CSU's. question is does either school require more than the minimum for their student athletes. but, if you qualify at Sac (Fresno, San Jose, etc), you qualify at Poly. harder to get into Poly for a student, but same minimum qualifications.

UC's have a higher minimum standard than the CSU's. again, question is do we take kids who only meet the minimum (basically a 3.0 in the 'core classes') or require more.

He was at the game Saturday night. Saw him standing near the stadium club resplendent in his white Raiders jersey!
