Yet.247sports only uses.the composite.when they rank.recruiting.classes . That.was.ridiculous for FCS teams because they were.basing class.rank on one or.two.recruits . I notice.they have more.composite.ratings.now than a few.years ago.

Drew Cofield is the highest ranked by 247sports, but not by the 247sports composite that has a couple of guys ahead of him. Among them is Jonathan Cravin a.freshman on our roster but didn't play. Injured?

I notice that Sam Haener, the lineman from Idaho is projected as an offensive lineman. 247 had him as a 3* defensive lineman.

Sac has 27 graduates and seniors on their roster. I think their motivation in leaving the Big Sky was they want to be free of the conference scholarship limit, can't think of any other motivation. As an FCS independent they can have 105.

Appears we got all the recruits on the 247sports.com list of commits
Corbin Wade is in the upper range of the three stars we get. Two three star edge rushers, 11 247 three stars

Thanks

Where are you tracking this?

He was injured in the second or third game. Grant played in so few games this season he can get a medical redshirt.
This is already his third year with the Aggies after two years of JC.

I saw a post on the Rhodey board, that claimed Davis' defense was rated 100th. Based on that the poster felt the game would be fun for them..
Of course that includes the Washington game, which distorts the stats. A better measure of Davis' defense is the Big Sky Conference games where Davis is second best defense in the conference in scoring defense and third best in yardage. And that is almost entirely without the Connor twins, and five of the conference games were without Ty Richardson who is playing well.

And they posted it!

If Pinnick is 6’ 200lbs he is not that small. Is he?
There is a tendency to think the elusive guys are small. Warren Moon was 6’3”

Ulonzo was durable. Have to factor that in with comparing to Lan.
Gale spent four years here and found himself a seldom used player. There are a host of spot players who don’t think its worth coming back for a fifth year if they are number 3 or 4 on the depth chart. We had a safety/ cornerback senior this year who called it a day, even though he was on the fall camp roster. Could have used him

They are balanced, but more rushing plays than passing plays, more yards passing. They are second in the conference in passing yardage, and third in rushing yardage.
Pinnick is gifted, Like your guy he is evasive, and has a strong arm. Pinnick completes 69% of passes for 9.5 yards per attempt. He has givens up quite a few sacks because he extends plays. Stats are for the eight Big Sky games.

For me Massey matchup tool says a most likely score 31 to 24' 72% Chance of Davis winning.

The game matches number eight seed and number 9 seed so may be the most competitive game. One side feels gypped that the other got what they think they earned
Teams from opposite sides of the country provides more regional interest than games like Stephen F Austin vs Abilene Christian.

San Luis Obispo not Goleta

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

Jordan Fisher was the higher rated between he and Carter Vargas on 247sports. . Carter was rated about the same as this years recruit Aden Jackson. Should they all have expectations?

Not very meaningful to compare teams with different strength of schedule by looking at stats.
The SI playoff stats article has Davis rated low on defense, but Davis is the third best Big Sky team in yards per carry and yards per game and ranks in top half in most defensive stats if you look at conference games.
Makes a difference when your stats include games against Washington and Montana State.
Davis played most Big Sky games without one of its top cornerbacks who is now back. That contributed to the loss to Idaho State.

The Brown game was played at a professional soccer teams stadium. The two teams play every year. The Governor had a press conference to promote the game and attended. I suspect no Governor has attended the Causeway.
