Ask Plough :
Was he surprised that a few of the offensive assistants he worked with in his prior time here were still around? Most of the assistants are new to him, but he retained a number of them. What are his impressions of the staff?
Is he going to be able to spend some time coaching the QBs? Lots of young QBs being added this year and next.
that was me who posted about Ott, 69. It wasn't so much a criticism of you or your post. I was just saying that the kid is a monster and has 2 more years of experience since we saw him last. I think we will have a tough time containing him.
Anyway, that's not really what this thread is about. I agree with you that Lan is a special player and I'm happy he didn't jump into the portal.
CA I think you are right to bring this up regarding LLs decision to stay with the Aggies. and yes there is no doubt that if he had gone into the portal he would have gotten a lot of interest. So the real question is why. I think it has to do with character and loyalty. LL has that. One of the former
Posters criticized me for not giving Cal’s leading RB, J. Ott, more credit as a player citing many statistics etc. so here we have a sophomore RB at cal who did have very good stats who then jumped into the portal for his personal gain only. Versus someone like LL who was willing to stick with his old team over personal gain. So I think character
r matters. Loyal teammates matter. OL guys will block better for guys they love and respect. That said, I hope LL and JO both have good games and don’t get hurt.
I doubt Plough will really want to get into the X's and O's as to not give away the playbook or give opponents any real advantage, but I think the big question is what can we expect from "shredville" and will it be significantly different from his time as OC under Hawkins? From what I understand, Hawkins was pretty hands off from the the coordinators. I think a lot of us are pining for a return to a high flying, fast, creative offense that we strayed away from the last several seasons.
As Plough stated at the Big Sky Media Day, Lan had opportunities to go to bigger and more prestigious football programs over the offseason, yet chose to return to the Ags. What were the factors that went into that decision? Simply the Aggie Pride factor? I do believe that UCD instills a certain level of pride that other programs may not have.
Its gotta be Miles....he knows the thing, so to speak. He's the only QB on he roster with real game experience (Harper has a few snaps), which is a little scary. I really think he's going to have a bounce-back year.
I do look forward to seeing what Harper can do at some point.
In this pilot episode of Aggie Pride, hosts Brock Galvin and Dwight Smith broadcast live from Martinez, California, sharing their deep roots with UC Davis football. They recount their personal journeys, from high school football dreams to walking on at UC Davis, highlighting memorable moments and influential people. They discuss their motivations for starting the podcast and the concept of 'Aggie Pride,' aiming to foster a stronger connection among fans, alumni, and the UC Davis community. The episode sets the stage for future discussions on team rosters, coaching changes, game predictions, and special guest appearances.
We will be starting an Instagram and Twitter soon to do a public launch but wanted to give the die-hard Aggie Faithful first listen. Be sure to follow the podcast on Apple or Spotify to get updates automatically when new episodes are posted.
Recorded our first episode last night and will post sometime next week. More of an intro about the who and why of the podcast so y’all get to know us and the inspiration for this. Big Sky media interviews are on Monday which should provide some talking points for episode 2!
