Maier's TD toss to Doss was at least 45 yards in the air ... I don't recall Randy Wright having many of those ... how about Ben Scott?

+1. Dr. Blue is making progress, hopefully this is on his bucket list.

Hawk. USD is a proven playoff team.

I watched a little bit. ... any new insights?

Watched a short video interview with Coach Barney. He said they were near 100 percent healthy. And if the clips I saw are his QB, he looks scary good.

Was there any other viable option beyond the Big Sky?

It does look like a number of Gould's young recruits are contributing this year. Thank goodness our offense is no longer sitting ducks where opponents can just t off on our O line and QB.

This ain't Intramurals, brother!

Can anyone share what our D package is now that we've played 2 games.

I thought Coach Gould brought in speed, speed, speed? ... Brandyn Lee at WR?

And when will we see WR Harrell?

He's also mobile. ... this is one reason why we brought in a veteran coaching crew, so we don't start lethargic, and have a gameplan that puts the players in a position to win.

Maybe they call 2 plays at once on some ocassions?... I say all of the above! Drive em crazy.

Portland is hungry. J. Eason had his bell rung in Q4 in Oregon. Turnovers an issue for him this past week.

Are we not blocking the edge, or do we not have the speed?

Yes, if DBs are giving Doss a 10 yard cushion, then we could mix in West Coast offense.

Tough situation with the pressures to win, huge upgrade needed to Memorial Stadium, tree sitters, etc. It didn't help their AD either, or Teresa Gould.

FWIW, a former DS from Cal says popular FB and MBB majors are American Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, Gender Womens Studies, etc.

One point BE. We did spread the ball around to a number of new receivers.

I hope so. We all knew Doss is a PTP, the emergence of Cummins and Moore is great. We knew WR was a strength, this all with So. Jared Harrell out. We may be extremely deep there. JC recruits Flowers and Cloud already contributing. This week is Big Sky. Will our run game improve? Go Ags!

Generalities and anecdotes being tossed around here. Cal had some horrible graduation numbers in FB and MBB a few years ago.

And the horrible graduation rates for black athletes at Cal and UCLA.

I agree. All we have now are anecdotes and guesses. I had a friend who was an ME major, said he had 2 unit classes here that were 5 units at UCLA. I think one was thermodynamics.

A Bruin lineman transferred a couple years back to Slac State. Most players at our FBS UC campuses take very easy majors.

Would transfering from a semester to quarter system make it tougher?

Don't forget Pacific Univesity led by 2 Aggies, and Ottowa!
