UC Davis Game Notes

Northern Arizona Game Notes

anytime you can grab a player from a top 10 HS team in the country it's a good thing

6'2 WR with 15 offers, Koen Parnell, has committed to UC Davis! GO AGS!

I believe it was reported that it was a fracture in his foot

I will say this also isn't just unfortunate for our projection as a team but running that dumb play may have also killed any NFL realities for Rex. It's hard enough for FCS players to make it to the big time, but a torn ligament makes it damn near impossible.

I also realized I hadn't said anything about Porter, I hope that he heals up as well and maybe we see him again this season.

I hope it was a learning lesson for the coaching staff that you let your players play their position and it isn't worth getting cute with it just for the sake of it. There was no logical reasoning for Rex taking that snap other than "wouldn't it be fun if we got Rex a TD" but look where it got us. Monumental lack of judgement on the coaching staff's part in my honest opinion.

Like I said, I think grinding this game out with Fisher and Vargas will be key. NAU is reliant on their dynamic passing game. Keep em off the field and the Aggies have a chance.

A battered defense holding Cal Poly to 71 rushing yards (2.3 yards per rush) is pretty dang good. I know their RBs are pretty beat up, but holding most any team to less than 3 yards per rush is great. Poly put up 178 yards (4.6 yards per rush) against Sac.

Also I know Booher went off for 100 yards and 2 TDs (most of which came through the middle of the field where Rex would have been), but we trivialized their star WR, Briscoe, to 3 catches for 37 yards and I know the commentators said that was on like 10+ targets. Defense largely had him locked down.

I feel so bad for Rex, but I won't lie and say that I am not somewhat annoyed with the coaching staff over this. Injuries are a part of football, but it's frustrating when it comes on a play that he never should have been involved in. I know Plough will say hindsight is 20/20 and the whole coaching staff was behind it, but putting your star defensive player, a Buck Buchanan caliber player, at unnecessary risk was never the play. Guys have jobs on the field and Rex's was to play safety, not wildcat QB. My heart goes out to Rex... brutal.

Not just Rex and Porter. The defense is really banged up as a whole. Injuries are part of the game, but QB is the most important position on the field and Poly was down to their 4th string. Still an impressive game from them.

Their graphic was messed up. No time outs remaining.

This is clearly not the same Poly of the last several years. I think if Dieffenbach is healthy we're likely looking at a different outcome. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game. It makes the rivalry a lot more exciting when both teams are competitive and I hope Wulff keeps you guys on the rise.

AGGIES WIN! THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE IS GOING TO DAVIS x9!

Gbatu recovers! That should be game!

Comes down to an onside kick attempt

The season will be over and the color commentator will still be complaining about calls in this game

Oh my god this is getting really funny now

I finally agree with the color commentator for once. Strange to punt there for Poly.

Caden Pinnick 20/25 (80%), 317 passing yards, 3 passing TDs, 60 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD

CADEN. PINNICK.

He's having a statement game

Simpson is having a solid night
