Montana Game I had bigger hopes for our line play given 7 O lineman at 295 pounds plus, and 5 Seniors on the D line. Size and depth. We only had 60 yards rushing on 30 carries. Or maybe its game plan, we battled the Bison, where turnovers killed us.
Have we abandoned the Jet sweep? I'm not sure having a WR throw a 40 yard bomb - across the field - is a wise play.
We don't have the tape. Our DBs hung w Cal, but their QB is mediocre at best. USD had their way with us. Montana exploited something and scored 3 TDs in 6 minutes, and their QB ran at will. Back breaking. We no longer have Doss as an escape valve, and no Mason Moe. A few bombs to speedster Harrell might make their DBs cheat less. Good to see Babb and Mouisset contribute.
Nine penalties. They ran, we didn't. (260 vs 60.) Babb had 5 receptions, and true freshmen Orlando Ornelas had 6 catches. RF DB Venable 6 tackles, true Frosh Mouisset 2 big tackles. They brought pressure, hits on JM, 3 sacks, we got 0.
Playoffs a long shot. Hawk called it a "learning experience". Do we need to shake things up?
