Cardinal have an 11 point lead and are 11/13 from the foul line. Ags too slow on defense and forcing shots on offense. They'd better figure something out or it's going to be a blow-out.

The Stanford big man is killing us, 10 points in the first 7 minutes, as many as UCD has.

I hope the team can take away some valuable lessons from this game, not the least of which is that they are capable of coming back from adversity. I do not know enough about strategy to tell if the second half success was due to changes that the coaching staff made and/or changes in the approaches the players took against a powerful opponent, but whatever they were could be very useful in the playoffs. They aren't likely to face a better team for at least two games in.

As tremendous and exciting as the Aggies comeback on offense was, let us not forget the defense and special teams. After giving up that touchdown drive t open the second half, the D forced Montana State to punt on all their remaining possessions and special teams made that great onside kick to give us a chance.

Big West teams are now 25-16 in the preseason. Not bad.

30-28 is definitely respectable against the #2 team to whom we were 7 point underdogs. Note we outgained MSU 414-333, not that it counts for anything.

I flashed on the Bob Biggs 16 point comeback against Hayward in 1972 (the one I left too early). This one would have been huge if only. So many "if onlys" in this one. At least we made Bobcat fans very nervous.

Awwwwwwwwwwww Nuts!

To repeat: Would a 30-15 loss be respectable? 30-22 too much to expect? I mean as far as FCS rankings will be concerned.

Would a 30-15 loss be respectable? 30-22 too much to expect?

Bobcats have played very well, but can we see the Ags brought their A game?

Best we can hope for is to make the score more respectable. #32 looks unstoppable.

Field position has been a big problem. Montana State started all but two of their possessions in UCD territory and one of those was at their 48.

Seems like all of the Bobcats scores came as a result of Aggie mishaps: Shamburger falling down on the first TD, an interception, a fumble and a punt return TD. A big difference is their D-line's ability to sack Hastings while our line, as it has all year, has trouble putting pressure on Mellot. On the other hand, this could be a 3 score deficit if MSU had not missed two kicks= 4 points.

Everything has broken in favor of Montana State so far. We have to hope that UCD will get a few breaks.

I guess we can see why Bobcats are undefeated. Shake it off Ags!

Seems like the Cats are throwing more than expected.

Just bad luck for Shamburger. We'll stop 'em next time.

The color guy, at least, hasn't been too biased.

Gutsy call to go for 2. Puts the Bobcats on notice. Hastings really came back after those opening sacks. Is that cool or what?
