This is a pretty funny video:

The second article is really interesting since the writer breaks down the catches that Doss made and what Keelan had done to get open and how he used his body in making his catches.

Interesting article.

FCS: Preseason Betting Odds To Win The 2019 National Title.

Which teams do the oddsmakers think have the best chance to win it all? For example, the betting odds for the Aggies to win the National Championship is +650 which means you would need to bet $100 to win $650.

Smart, articulate and humble...Aggie Pride...

Doss lead the Raiders tonight with 4 receptions for 52 yards. He ran nice routes and got open and made one circus catch.

It's been weird watching the game being played on a shortened field because of a hole in the end zone left over from the CFL goalpost. I tuned in during the second quarter and thought "what the heck is going on" when the Raiders scored a TD by crossing the 10 yard line. :gasp:

Coach Creighton says Wes Preece Creighton "as talented as any tight end I've been around as a coach at any level." That's high praise from a veteran mentor who served on staffs at Colorado and Auburn.

The Aggie tight ends are so deep that the biggest concern is not having enough opportunities for everyone to play. "Coach Hawk says, on a good team, someone will get screwed a little bit. It's one of those things," said Creighton. "There are not enough reps to go around to the guys who deserve to play."

Coach Brandon Huppert says, "I just want people to turn on the film and say our guys went full-speed the entire game." They'll say they are competitors, they are physical as all get out, they play a complete game and they out-hit everybody. That's what I want our reputation to be. That's what we put our stamp on when stopping the run and creating sacks."

"You may not be listed as the game-day starter," Huppert says, "but you'll still probably get close to as many reps as that guy. And based on how we structure the defense through different sub personnels and packages, guys will carve out roles in situations were they can be successful. Not everyone can rush the passer, but not everyone can two-gap and stop the run. It's nice being able to have those different pieces, and it's up to us as coaches to put them in the right positions to be successful."

I think that's a respectable non-conference schedule. WBB has been able to schedule 6 regular home games and 2 home exhibitions for their fans which is in sharp contrast with the men's 4 home games total.
