It’s funny...prior to the poly game there was a discussion about admission standards into CAL STATE poly and a dad said coaches discouraged players from engineering because it was too hard. Apparently we don’t! I think our coaches really encourage it. I know CJ Spenser was at the EVO event pregame v NAU which is a cool thing. Let a kid skip a pregame to do something for his future? That’s a Davis kind of thing!!

If you remember from one of our early game (USD?), one of our DB's was taken off the field on a cart after his head hit the turf after trying to break up a pass. I think it was White. He came back the next week. Maybe our medical procedure for this type of concussion (back of the head to turf) is VERY cautious, which i applaud.

we did have some a month ago, but Rocco said they were not very effective -> they were rented from a company EWU recommended! i think they upgraded this time.

i like wild hog -> gives it an aggie slant

I have really appreciate the contributions of Spencer and Hicks (and I'm sure there are others). They had significant roles under Gould, and those opportunities dwindled under the new system (expect for Spencer's Wild Hog role last year). But, they worked hard to make the most of those opportunities, were team leaders, and OUTSTANDING students. Both are destined for big things in their fields. Winning is great, winning with outstanding kids is even that much better.

Tehran has a concussion. I think the second guy hit him in the head as his head was hitting the turf. Could have been a penalty

In the honorable mention division, 2006 #5 NDSU comes to Toomey vs 4-5 Ags. Jin Grant is on fire, we’re up 24-0 at Half. They come out and start rolling, score 3 TDS to get to 24-21. They march late in the fourth and throw TD pass in last minute and we lose 28-21. We beat USD the following game to close Toomey but this would have been a classic Toomey win

Doss has contributions beyond the stats. Coming back and being the hardest working player on the team had an incredible impact on his team

as long as we play an FBS I think we’re stuck with 5-6 home/road. We’re fortunate we can bring in Lehigh for home only , and do USD 2/1. NDSU rarely leaves home in the preseason

that was 1980 DII

I’m exhausted and all I did is watch and field 100’s of text messages from old teammates. Incredible effort against a very good team under TOUGH conditions. We are WAY ahead of where I thought we’d be. Exciting times. Some great players, great students. Hats off to the seniors. Loved that their last two years were so good. Set a real foundation for success in the future. Bring on CAL!!!

Big stop, no loss on the INT. Need a good drive and TD now

I don’t think anyone here is underestimating the HUGE challenge today. But when you go from a 3 win season to playoff quarterfinals on two seasons, you tend to get a little giddy. If pigs could fly, why not supersonic?

We have to be at out absolute best today, no mistakes and hope for a couple breaks to fall our way.

Kinda fun to be talking football in December. Right up there with basketball’s showdown with Kansas in the NCAA’s!

If they officiate tomorrow’s game like this one, our passing game will have a tough time. They’re mugging the WR’s off the line

I think DL in general is a question. I don't think Peacock played last game. Seems like we've been a bit patchwork since EWU. but, i believe they have injuries also.

I think you’re right

Doesn’t look like Vaughn has played since EWU.

Was it kraft or Crawford who came out last game with a shoulder? Not sure if they went back in.

Be interesting to see how healthy we are at WR. Seems like we’re getting a little thin there.

My strategy is fair catch EVERY kick, kickoff and punt. No fumbles in kick game.

hmmmm....woodstock all-meat pizza vs. tofu in black bean sauce......decisions, decisions.
