  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    The next time we play Dixie State they'll be known as Utah Tech.

    If the Utah Legislature agrees, next year Dixie State, Located in St. George, will be known as Utah Tech University … the name change came about after intense pressure from the school’s Student Executive Council … the discussion, much of it heated, centered around the historic connection between the name Dixie and the Deep South’s ties to slavery … from 1952 to 2007, a Confederate soldier nicknamed “Rodney the Rebel” was the official school mascot and the Confederate flag was flown as the school symbol … in June of this year, school trustees voted for the name change, but the Utah Legislature has the final say

    Post-game comments from Hawk and Gilliam:

    “To see a crowd like that and the band and a great college atmosphere and all the excitement really provided the guys with some juice,” Hawkins said afterward. “When you can have a win like that and not play an especially clean game, that’s great. Sometimes you play great and don’t get a score like that.”

    “It’s nice to be 3-0. That’s great,” Hawkins added. “The Aggies are in a good spot. To have UC Davis come out and support us like this means so much. We have great kids, great players and a great culture here, but there’s a long road ahead.”

    “I always say football is about more than just the game. It’s about being with your fans and your family and seeing something exciting and creative and fun. We continue to make strides and where we’re at mentally is so fun as a coach,” Hawkins said. “These kids work so hard all week and we’re doing everything we can to try to win a football game.”

    “Seeing our fans show up today was great,” Gilliam noted. “It was cool to see a whole university behind us. The coaches gave us a great game plan and it was just up to us to execute it.”

    This is what can happen when a team thinks they just have to show up and roll to an easy win. So much of winning is about attitude and fire in the belly. Great win for NAU!

    Teddye Buchanan got ejected for targeting and, unfortunately, he will have to sit out the first half of the Weber game.

    Good points, Riveraggie. We took advantage of what we thought would work. It's our pass defense that has me concerned against the pass heavy Big Sky teams who can score quick and often.

    My thoughts exactly too.
  • FCS Polls Week 3
    I don't think we should be ranked in the Top 10 until we at least beat a Top 10 opponent. We might move up a spot this week.

    Ags rushed for 380 yards which is 16 shy of the all-time record of 396 against Southern Oregon in 1952. Pretty damn good!

    It looked like the crowd thinned out at halftime. Did the students start leaving early?

    Official attendance: 9865, so not capacity of 10,800.

    The EWU game was crazy. EWU led 55-21 at the half but got outscored by Western Illinois 35-7 in the second half. Eric Barriere was 31 of 45 for 542 yards and 6 TD's and the Western Illinois QB was 31 of 46 for 425 yards and 4 TD's.

    EWU racked up 754 yards of offense and Western Illinois had 643 total yards! Talk about a shootout...geez!

  • Week 3: Dixie State at UC Davis
    60 points is a big number offensively but our pass defense is suspect and we could get torched by the big guns in the Big Sky. I don't think we are a Top 10 team yet.

  • Jake Maier Sets CFL Record
    Jake has played great in every game he has been in. If he continues to put up better numbers than Mitchell, then he should be the starter at some point, IMO.
  • Aggie Volleyball…
    Ags lost to Cal 14-11. 7-1 now for the season with #1 USC later today.
  • Aggie Volleyball…
    The men's water polo didn't lose to SJSU...they won 11-10 and are now 7-0 on the season.
