And barely beat Sac. Montana has talent, but they have been inconsistent as hell this season.

That's what I thought. I would say EWU should beat up on Idaho, but EWU doesn't have Gubrud. NAU is on a downward trend too, Sac might have a chance as well. Down the board, very competitive games this week.

From what I was reading on their fan forum, they believe Maier is going to shred their secondary. I posted in the Montana thread that they have 2 LBs that are lights out so we are going to have to avoid that damage that they can do.

So a shoulda, coulda, woulda argument. Sucks when things don't go your way, but they aren't 6-1.

Teams are double and triple covering him. Opens other receivers up.

They managed to get 4 and a half minutes highlights?

I don't think we are solidly number 2 but we could make the case at least right now. Davis has an equal to or better than every other team in the Top 10 (outside of NDSU) and have a stronger SoS than most of them, but not all, as well.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I think the Aggies could make a case for being at 2. I also think that the polls are hesitant to raise teams a ton in 1 week.

If I remember correctly HERO Sports goes more with a power ranking rather than a pure ranking. So they are saying these teams have been the strongest recently and not so much looking at the entire season. That's why they have Incarnate Word (4-3) at 4th because they just pummeled McNeese. I think in a pure rankings the Aggies have a chance at top 5, but most likely top 7-8 after this performance.

4 teams in the Top 10 STATS FCS Poll lost. Room for the Aggies to make a big jump up this week. Potentially top 5?

Players to watch for on the Griz

QB Dalton Sneed
- 1596 passing yards, 61.9%, 10 TDs, 4 INTs
- 531 rushing yards, 5.5 ypc, 5 TDs

RB Adam Eastwood
- 424 rushing yards, 4.7 ypc, 6 TDs

WR Samuel Akem
- 438 receiving yards, 13.3 ypc, 6 TDs

LB Dante Olson
- 106 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 2 INTs, 3 forced fumbles

LB Josh Buss
- 52 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries

Our defense is going to have to contain Sneed and force him to throw the ball and on offense we are going to have to make sure to hold on to the ball and throw the ball over their 2 star LBs.

At the beginning of the season this was a game that I was fairly confident was going to be a loss for the Aggies. We've been better than I expected this season and the Griz have been worse. The Aggies are going to have their hands full with the home crowd, but I like our chances in this one.

The loss to Portland State and the close win to Sac really stand out to me. Western Illinois is only 3-4 right now as well.

Alright, scores are all updated for the week. Some interesting games in the Big Sky for sure. NAU continues to fall without Cookus at the helm as they hand UNC their first win of the season. Weber State gets the win, but I'm going to be honest... I'm still not sold on them. Constatine threw 3 interceptions and they are being carried by RB Josh Davis in terms of offense. One trick ponies won't get it done in the playoffs. ISU almost gets the FBS win.

EDIT: Don't let the stats on the Weber State game fool you, Davis is still the guy to watch out for despite Garrett having 3 TDs... all 3 were from the 1 yard line.

Protheroe ran the ball 33 times tonight... 33 times. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't gotten injured this season. Triple option or not, that is a lot of beating one player is taking.

Thanks Slo. As much as I like stomping you guys, I really do truly hope that you guys can find a way to ditch Walsh. He gives me flashbacks to the Gould Era here. You guys deserve a coach that will at least put you in winnable situations.

Aggies end the game with 0 penalties?!?! AGGIES WIN!

We're still going for bombs in the 4th quarter and up by 42... wow Hawkins is going for the throat.

That is surprising to me

If Cal Poly were a big time FBS school and they were losing like this to their rival at home, the coach would be fired immediately after the game.

I'm in a weird place. I'm happy we're winning, but it's kind of sad seeing a CP with a great history implode. It's like they are in the their Gould Era where everyone can see what's wrong except for the coach... glad we don't hear Hawkins saying that he's "befuddled".
