    I would say he is deserving to be on this list. 

    Bubba year 4: 11-0????

    Cal Poly vs UND

    in Football

    Just looked at your remaining schedule. The only team left that can beat UND is UND which I do not think will happen. That Big Sky Championship trophy is going to look good next to the DII National Champions trophy. I am impressed with the program UND has built and is continuing to build.  Best luck the rest of the season and maybe we will see you again in December.

    After watching a replay of the Cal Poly vs S Dak St game, I feel 100% confident saying Protheroe would have made no difference against UND. He doesn't do anything special, he's just a symptom of the Cal Poly offense. Jacks were destroyed by the pitch (mostly Garcia) and their D line got worked. 

    Santiago would've had a much larger impact on this game than Protheroe.

    Protheroe is a difference maker, but him playing against UND could of actually been bad for Cal Poly. UND knows how to defend the option and I think would have given up a few more yards rushing if Protheroe had played.  Instead of 200 they might have given up 250.  If that had happened the coaches probably waited to throw even longer which would not have been a good thing for Cal Poly. The only way Cal Poly moved the ball consistently on UND was through the air. The Fullback dive was not going to beat UND. Dano Graves throwing more might of.

    That would be 8 am ct. 

    Hey, at least I got the 2 hour difference right. My point is the are early birds so an early start should not throw them too much. I am more concerned with UND's D and your two stud RBs.

    Good. Almost wish it was at noon though. Get that west coast team to come out flat and tired.

    Cal Poly practices at 6:00 am California time (4:00 am ND time) so a 11:00 am California start time should not be to tough on them.

    Cal Poly just made it into the ranking and this game has me worried. UND kick Poly's @ss last year in SLO and this one is in Grand Forks.  A loss here and the voting members on the polls that ranked Cal Poly behind the two teams we beat will be able to say see, Cal Poly did not deserve to be ranked higher. Cal Poly is coming off two tough games and I think this will be every bit as tough.  To be honest I was more worried about our two trips to the Dakota's than any other games on our schedule including Montana and EWU at home.  I have much respect for the program UND is building and pull a little harder for the former GWFC members in the Big Sky, except Davis of course ;).    Even though this game has me worried, I am looking forward to it.

    I'm curious about your defense. The numbers were not good but the talent seemed to be. Poly had by far the fastest defense we faced all year.

    I think we have the talent on defense, but I think we need a new DC.  We played a bend (keep everything in front of us) and try not to break defense.  Very simple and predictable.

    I was very impressed with UND this year and expect they will only get better next year looking at their depth chart from this season.  That coupled with the investment you are making in facilities and I expect to see UND at or near the top of the Big Sky year in and year out in the coming years.  Congrats on the great season.

    Cal Poly Predictions

    Fighting Hawks   35 (Santiago 200+ yards)

    Ponys                 21 Defense hold Ponys under 150 yards rushing.

    You were close and I was wrong.  UND has the best rush defense in the Big Sky and #2 is not even close.  I will be pulling for you to get an invite and if you get it I will be pulling for you to make a deep run.  Congrats on the game and the season.   Go Fighting Hawks.

    Cal Poly Predictions

    in Football

    Posted

    It has been a really frustrating season for Cal Poly.  One with a lot of would have, could have, and should haves. I am really pulling hard for the Mustangs to finish strong with a win and a three game win streak. 5-6 looks a whole lot better than 4-7 and it carries the team into the offseason with momentum.

    That said, I am a little conflicted.  If UND was playing any other team this week I would be pulling for them to make their first trip to the playoffs.  I have a ton of respect for UND and want to see them do well.  I am glad they made the move from the GWFC to the Big Sky with Cal Poly and want them to leave USD in the dust after the Coyotes left the Big Sky standing at the alter.   A trip to the playoffs would be huge for the program.  If you do win and get an invite I will be pulling hard for the Fighting Hawks to make a deep run.

    SUU and PSU are paper tiger rushing defenses. We have the only real one in the league. You will not rush for over 250, Ratelle and Reyes and the boys aren't gonna let that happen. This should be a great game but I think your defense is going to be the difference. 

    If UND holds Cal Poly to under 250 yards rushing they will leave SLO with the win.  I think both teams will get yards rushing.  What may decide this game is which team has more yards passing.

    Ponys                 21 Defense hold Ponys under 150 yards rushing.

    I think this will be a hard fought slobber knocker that could either way so I won't try to predict the score.  I will predict UND's defense will give up at least double their season average for rushing yards (95 yards per game).  Possibly triple or more.  Prior to playing Cal Poly, Southern Utah was near the top of the Big Sky in rushing defense (128 yards a game).  They gave up 508 yards rushing to Cal Poly.  Prior to playing Cal Poly, Portland State's defense was holding opponents to 126 yards rushing a game.  They gave up 420 rushing yards to Cal Poly.  Cal Poly can rush the ball better than ANY team in the FCS.  Should be fun to watch.  Strength against strength.

    Weber is giving the game away

    Cal Poly was without Umoh, Deonte Williams (ankle - only 6 carries), and Stanford was nursing a tight hamstring. Good teams make their own breaks.

    It is a shame hat this game is not on Root Sports. I think it will be one of the best Big Sky games next weekend. A lot better than UM/UNC game that they are showing.
