Montana was a complete puzzle, it was as if it were a Gould team first half.

You're saying chuck it, and let em go get it? ... at least the attempt would keep them honest. Perfect option for 2nd & short?

I believe Harrell ran track here his first year. High school numbers - Jared Harrell, 100 Meters, 10.72 (2.2) 2016.

Our Total Defense, FCS ranking is #99, I think Sac is #24. But likely a complex situation. I believe our Defense at times has had to stay on the field a long time due to our drop off in 3rd down completion rate / stalled drives. My guess is our lack of QB pressure is one key, leaving our DBs to really have to cover for extended periods. Increase the pressure, more TOs, shorter drives.

We win the North Dakota and MSU games, we're then 7-4 and likely in the playoffs.

I love Maier. I have had some veteran Ags suggest Maier doesn't throw the deep ball, so that shortens the field for us, and isn't mobile. A mobile QB like Rodriguez would really add options. Spring ball should be interesting, 4-5 QBs battling.

Great job by the defense slowing down a tough rushing offense. Now we know Firozi was lost for the season on the OL, best wishes.

We didn't have our potent offense this year, scoring is down from 39 PPG to 29 PPG, and even the 29 PPG is deceiving given big point totals vs San Diego and Lehigh. Part of that a tougher schedule, losing Doss, and 2 key WR injuries. Where were Harrell and Vaughn tonight? You're not gonna win big games scoring 20 points or less. Points in big games:

Cal - 13, incl. a gimmie on the opening drive
NDSU - 16
Montana - 20
North Dakota - 36
Weber - 20
MSU - 17

A couple hundred MSU fans made more noise than our crowd, and embarrassed (?) us into cheering.

Zander, our defense has been solid this year, especially losing two top LBs and the increased level of competition.

Not scoring inside the 5 on our first drive a killer.

That 4th down call also curious.

Where were the students?

With a spotty short yardage run game.

So has special teams ... 3 times inside the 5.

Offense struggling in the red zone. Ugh.

Yes ... and I can't even explain the Montana game. Ugh.

North Dakota would have been a sweet win ... we need this! Go Ags! Momentum!

MSU guys, MSU.

+1, and we run the ball adequately and have a good O game plan

Didn't Biggs say he was thinking about entering politics when he stepped down? (Make Davis Great Again.)

I wonder how he could have competed with Hawkins budget?

That's OK. He has to live in Fresno ... for 5 years. Good luck to him. Maybe he can become buddies w Tumey.

Our current 15 Commits:

2-star: 4
3-star: 8

Was that also when we discovered QB Ben Scott? I believe he threw 3 or 4 TDs.

Interesting. Our roster shows 17 seniors + Grad student Max O'Rourke, but this twitter pic shows 20 seniors.

OK, OL Charles Hays from 2018 is pictured here, but not on the 2019 official foster.

Still off one.

Well, it sounds like we got at least 1 OL back. And rest.

Awesome! Interesting that a *** MVP only had one offer. (*** 6'2 215 Oak Park High School (Oak Park, CA) )

He had 10-12 tackles last week and 2 sacks as a LB / DE.

Is it my imagination, or do we possibly have some STELLAR youngsters coming along? My 2 cents ...

Jake Parks - OL who started it off, starting as a true Frosh.
OL - RFrosh Jordan Ford
Lance Babbs - WR 3 TDs in one game, PTP keeping on his feet with a turf forearm. Already #2 on the team near 500 yards receiving in late-season yardage.
Orlando Ornelas - WR
Blake Thorpe - physical true Frosh tight end.
Soph Gilliam at RB, along with Crawford & Kraft (WRs).

Nick Eaton - RFrosh with 2 POTW awards. 54 tackles, 6.5 sacks.
RFrosh Chris Venable, 36 tackles.
True Frosh DB Calvin Mouisett, possibly redshirting, along with Sequoia Magdalena (6'3" DB).
Cam Trimble, LB, out w an injury.
RFrosh J Suani holding down the difficult NG position.
Cade Peacock DE, redshirting, yeomans work last year.
White, Knox, Perryman and King at DB.

$65 Mill a huge price tag. Sounds like they need to come up with a junior version.
