Lick our wounds and refocus. Can’t let EWU beat us next week too. Finish up 9-2 and see what FCS playoffs are all about

how did we make the broadcast?

I always try to be optimistic. We didn’t lose much from last season’s (post-chima) team, and think some of the new guys have shown they can step right in. Silar is something like 3-20 on the season and pressing big time. AJ missed game one and didn’t score last night. TJ was better last night but not what we saw last year. Defense is a concern.

I think, like football, money is driving the schedule!

The starting lineup tonight was about the same as the post-Chima team, subbing Gonzales for Michael O. Bench seems as strong or stronger. I think the talent is there. Need to get our offense in sync

I’m not gonna panic YET. I don’t expect Johns and Silar to be 1-13 too many games going forward. Liked the first half. Offense in the second half was anemic. Still need work on defense. Work in progress

I had a drinking game going during the NLCS. Everything a guy shortened up to put the ball in play with runners on with less than two outs, I would take a shot.

Was sober for two weeks!! 2 on, no outs, 2 strikes? Swing from the heels at anything close!!

reminds me of the NCLS!!

Gilliam is a very good receiver, as is Thomas.

current Weather Underground forecast shows clear skies for Saturday. Temperature 'peaks' at 39 at game time. 34 at 5:00 which should be about midway through the 4th quarter! on the plus side, there is no wind forecast.

that's cold.

I think a real key to this game is keeping it close in the first half. Defense has shown the ability to make half time adjustments and shut things down (ISU, Montana), but these guys are a level above that. Can’t try to play catch-up. Getting an early turnover and capitalizing on it would be HUGE

we have a +12 in turnovers this year, both a credit to the defense for takeaways and the offense for holding onto the ball. have to keep that going this week. i can see them playing it a bit more conservative to limit the risk of turnovers.

here is an article in Yahoo Sports that is quite a difference in our past Novembers

FCS Game of the Week

that's the secret! downside, is that your computer than forgets your login information for many sites (like this one), at least on my MAC

ask the Big Sky commissioner. probably big up in Big Sky country. its the same reason the Idaho game was played at 4:00 in September.

Bu the time I turned on the radio broadcast we were down something like 24-6 about midway through the first. I think Marsh used the word ‘discombobulated ‘. On the ‘plus’ side, Silar and TJ were a combined 3-18, both with several turnovers. I think they’ve shown that they are MUCH better than that. Gonsalez looks like a real player. Others seemed shell shocked. Healthy John will help. HOPEFULLY, one of those disasteric starts against a good team that snowballed. We stunk it up against USF last year, although battled back to make the score look decent. That was 10 games in. Roster is pretty similar to the one we finished the season with; I’m thinking they’ll bounce back

I don’t think we have a choice about ROOTS start times. Part of the Big Sky package. They assign the kickoff times

if we were to lose, then alot would come down to the Idaho St - Weber game the following week (assuming we take care of business vs Sac). An ISU win, knocks Weber to 2 BSC losses. A Weber win, and we might be behind EWU and Weber in the seeding since they both would have top 10 (5) wins.

we'll have to be really clever to come up with some looks to confuse his looks on the short passes, and be very sure tacklers. that was something we didn't go too well against NAU. we have numerous times where we had the QB and/or back for 2-3 yard losses, only to let them get away for decent gains. I think Porter's big run followed a near 10-yard sack.

couldn’t agree more. Turnovers or penalties or special team mistake could turn this into the Montana first half all over.

I thought run defense vs Poly was pretty good after the first drive. No long runs. I think yards per carry was good. Vs NAU, they basically ran the wildcat which gives them a numbers advantage. They’ve been getting a lot a rush yards with it; again, we didn’t give up large chunks. EWU has a good rush game coupled with solid pass, do that’s really going to test us

I think the noon start vs Sac is ROOTS TV thing, as was the early (4:00) kickoff for Idaho
