They put up a picture with Connor Airey as one of our key players

I don’t think we thought Dixie would score much, I think we figured we’d run to avoid turnovers and because we could and that we didn’t need to put up a lot of points. I think that worked better than anticipated.
On defense I think DrMikes characterization about bend not break is right. Make a team that hasn’t shown it can score earn it. They did better than expected because of the QB change.

Some posters don’t seem enthralled with our lack of balance in individual games, although we have shown we can be either run heavy or pass heavy against different opponents.
I personally think the Tulsa game was brilliantly managed, and the last two just seeing a mismatch and sticking to it, which is also smart. What’s the opinion here on our game plans so far?

Weber fans whining about not being a top 25 team after losing a game to a premier team when they are using backup QBs. Shows how spoiled their fans are.

What is the status of the Weber QB Bronson Barron who got injured against Dixie? I assume they think he’s their best QB.

Tulsa was within 7 of Ohio State in the fourth quarter, had over 500 yards of offense against Ohio State.
Lost 40-20

Only watched the first half but I don’t think I’ve ever seen both offenses score touchdowns every possession of the first quarter, In the second quarter EWU just kept going, I think there was only one possession in the first half where they didn’t, and with really quick drives. Awesome.

The better way is the legally mandated way, which is non discriminatory hiring.

But if the University no longer admits students by their scholastic preparation or faculty by their expertise in their subject and capability as instructors, why would you want to get that UC degree?

Wow, Eastern WA vs W IL has six touchdowns, neither team has failed to score TD on any possession.
Now 7 TDs, 28-21 end of first quarter, eastern.

That ranking site that expects us to lose to Idaho, still thinks Idaho is in the Sun Belt conference.

They’ll slice through the Big Sky opponents like a knife through butter.

How is "How did you make your community better?" a controversial question.

The way students used to get into Davis or any premier college was via transcript courses grades and test scores. Stick to admitting the best students, How is that controversial?
You know what indicates an engaged learner? SAT scores. You don’t get high verbal ability scores without reading. You don’t score high on math without learning it.

And make the scholarship limits the same, say 70 That and the new transfer rules will spread the talent. Any more than 70 is just stockpiling and leads to less balanced competition
There should be no rule that make the lower division structurally different Then people might stop constantly referring to it, On Tulsa broadcast I heard “Davis of the FCS” more than any other description,

Good question.
Maybe that one initial doesn’t help.
I think a bad program may have trouble getting 63 quality players, let alone 84.

Even though San Diego and Dixie may have similar rankings, they don’t have much in common. San Diego has more offense, Dixie is mor physical, and pretty good defensively. We have to make sure we don’t help their offense out with penalties or turnovers. They’ve played against good defensive teams but so far haven’t been able to score in double digits. I think the Aggies are a good defensive team, so if we are smart we’ll make them earn it. I wouldn’t go for it on fourth down on our side of the field either.

That’s just pathetic. They don’t have South Dakota State in the top 20 FCS teams. What is their methodology?

They have some tall guys I’m glad it’s not volleyball

I don’t think this team has a commitment to either the run or the pass, they’re adaptable.
They played a ball control game against Tulsa, with runs and short passes, partly to keep the ball away from the more explosive team and partly due to Tulsa’s nickel defense.
Then we did the opposite against USD, rushing only 20 times. The Aggies can be balanced but if a defense is willing to give up one or the other they will take it.

In the end against USD we averaged 6.6 yards per rush, with two rushing TDs,.

San Diego foiled us in our attempt to establish the run by giving up all those 20 yard plus touchdowns. Drat.

Hopefully we’ll see some of the 2021 HS recruits in the Dixie game. There is almost invariably a true freshman who makes an impact.
