Being totally realistic, we likely lose this game... and badly, but it won't stop me from cheering the boys on like crazy. Offensive line needs to give Maier a little bit more protection and we can't have mental lapses in the defense like we did in the 3rd quarter. There is always an off chance of winning, but Stanford is a dang good team.

I will always remain hopeful, but next week is almost assuredly a loss. Big difference is that UCD and USD are both FCS ranked anywhere from the mid 20's to mid 30's. Stanford is well... Stanford.

Ahh that answers my question about Doss. Tough to see all of the coverages on tv especially when there aren't a ton of replays.

My observations

- Big improvement in the defense from SJSU. USD is supposed to be talented offensively, but the defense completely shut them down outside of that bad stretch in the 3rd quarter. Rebounded nicely by getting 2 huge interceptions.

- While Ulonzo Gilliam didn't put up huge numbers in term of yards, he still put up 3 TDs which is tough to argue with. Thomas looked very good in limited snaps. I would maybe like to see a more balance number of snaps between them.

- Maier looked really uncomfortable tonight. USD was applying pressure, but Jake was overthrowing/underthrowing receivers tonight like I haven't seen him do before. We need to clean up the passing game going forward. I remember a couple drops that definitely should have been catches.

- What's up with not going to Doss? Tough to tell when watching on tv but was the coverage on him that spectacular? Doss is the bread and butter of our offense and I'm surprised we didn't try to get it to him more considering the offense didn't look fantastic in the first half.

- I'll take the big win over a team that was in the playoffs the last couple seasons, but this game showed we have some things to clean up before we hit big sky competition. Stanford up next and then Idaho. I still think we have a decent chance to start 3-1.

Even BIGGER statement win than what I predicted! Rough 3rd quarter, but overall dominating win over a playoff team from last year.

wow

what a disaster... holy hell

wtf

Aggies asleep at the wheel here. Offense needs to score on this next drive.

Add another FG on.

Aggies go into halftime up 20-0. Both team's offenses look kinda off from what I expected. The Aggie defense (and some convenient penalties) have been really nice though.

Well we made FG so at least that is an improvement over SJSU.

17-0 Aggies

Their D line was pretty good against D2 Western New Mexico. They lost their star D lineman though due to graduation.

TD AGGIES!

Maier is all over the place tonight.

Weird play calling right now. We've been trying to force a bunch of screens and then we go deep on 3rd and 3.

Maier is looking skittish tonight. Aggie defense is coming up big though.

3 and out for USD

TD ULONZO GILLIAM!

Helped by penalties, but I'll take a stop on the 1st drive!

Half an hour til kickoff! GO AGS!
