They will definitely look like Central if the personnel matches. The new players in new roles for Davis starts at QB obviously, the LT is a question for me, but otherwise the Offense can ride Fish and Gbatu and the myriad of other weapons and be fine. I don't have a lot of Defensive concerns either after what came out of spring ball on the D-line especially. That group is deep and talented. Will Rex be ready by game one, and how will the other new players on the back end play? Again, looked good in spring ball but never know.

In early season games the number of veteran players familiar with the system is a big factor, and Davis clearly has that advantage. Davis players are not going to be overlooking anyone in the first game. The question is how new players and players in new roles perform and how well the coaches anticipate and how quickly they adapt to what the unfamiliar opponent does. Both the head coach and defensive coordinator are from Central Washington, so they probably will look like Central Washington.

You hit this on the head with "I think walking into PSU and expecting the norm (despite that almost upset last time) would be a mistake". The Ags will get what they allow.

Woodstock's is worth the price, you know that :rofl: I actually prefer the one in SLO but will hit Davis after a home dub.

, the Stangs were busy in the portal this year again. By the time they get to the Ags, they will either be gelling as a team, or the mercenary ship will have sunk. Transfer-heavy is always an interesting chemistry experiment, but it is easier to admit students as transfers at SLO than it is as freshmen so I get it.

Just as we don't know what PSU will look like under Fisk, jumping up from D2 to arguably the strongest conference in FBS is no small task to take on. We have a very talented roster and Plough will have the boys ready. If our goal is getting by the quarterfinals at the end of this season, we start with a pounding of the Vikings.

i figure it will take 1/2 the season to not select 'Big West' when i check the scores on the ESPN website!
