Many of the names were extremely suggestive.

GREAT NEWS!!!

I love all our guys, & HR, but I think we've learned a lesson about slight QBs in the BS. And we had 2 light schedules.

I'm hoping Lance Babbs II comes back - that would be big. LL, Thorpe, Chaz Davis all showed something.

Recall CJ at QB - great guy and athlete. But my sources said his accuracy in practice just wasn't there.

UCLA has 9 transfers, 2 are QBs, plus an edge rusher (Myles Jackson) w 4 years left. Harder pitch, from Georgia.

JM & HR first year JC finds.

Does Coach Hawkins go on home visits for recruiting?

FWIW, the Fake QB slide.

I never focused on it much, until his concussion. He's 170 pounds. Maier, Barriere, Garbers... all 203, 210, 220+ pounds.

FWIW, I believe our offense is back to #6 in the Big Sky, defense #5. I expect EWU to come down from. 43 PPG, at least to 38 or so (if not lower). MSU, Weber at 37, 38 PPG ... tough when we're at 29 PPG. We have to score more. I believe my previous off season observation was correct, our 73 points vs SLO disguised our weaknesses on offense.

We have solid coaches, system, and more facilities on the way. We need some key additions, a DE or two, a few playmakers. We have some young players who will bloom. We need more. Another Buchanan, Perryman.

I could be wrong. But I figure w his GPA and achievements, he has aspirations only a major university fulfills.

Anybody here see Dixon or Faulk in practice?

Looks like he would be a great addition. Now has 16 offers (incl. San Diego). DC Coombs went, we must have a shot. If he wants to play at a higher level and have his family see him, that rules out the east coast. I guess we battle Air Force and Montana State.

I wasn't at the game, but 4 for 4 says something.

Will this be a much smaller class than normal?

Whatever works, eh? The Warriors won the NBA title in the 70s playing 10+. Everybody fresh and hungry.

I'm unfamiliar w this 7-8 rotation... a deeper bench is beneficial. I've always preferred 9-10.

Deon Sanders having a heck of a year.

Sac State - SDSU highlights.

New one to me - do Historically Black Colleges have their own playoff format?

"SWAC Championship Game: Jackson State (11-1) beats Prairie View A&M (7-5), 27-10, to claim its first conference title since 2007.

"JSU defense forces five turnovers
Peytton Pickett: 19 carries, 107 yards, TD

"JSU next faces South Carolina State in Celebration Bowl on Dec. 18."

"A SWAC championship game-record 50,128 fans attended today’s game at Jackson State’s Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium. The Tigers’ average attendance over six home games this season was 42,293, an FCS record. JSU also had the previous high average, 38,873 in 1997."

Definitely a top 5 team.

Isn't there a buyout sometimes for the coach (new employer)?

Taylor seems very content in Sacramento, but what happens when an FBS program dangles a $10 M five year deal at him? And will his staff jump for smaller dollars?

Not sure what their alums think is reasonable, he was 8-5 before Covid. If Garbers leaves, they have young QBs who haven't taken one snap. They signed an Ivy League grad transfer who played one game. Not promising on QB depth.

Two Trojan QBs git lit up. The first should have gotten out of bounds or gone down - you could see what was coming in advance as he tried to take on 2 defenders. The 2nd was a disguised blitz? - I haven't seen it so well before.

Kal up 17 now.

FWIW, Kal Bears up 17-7 over SC in 3rd.
