Nice answer! Now keep it up!

Skokna show this drive.

Bad News Bears....Bad News Bears....Bad News Bears......I'm so sick of it!!

Looked like two 3rd graders trying to defend a 6th grader on a jump ball....ridiculous.

Broken record....i'm so sick of this !@#$!

The Bad News Bears version has shown up....gonna be a butt kicking.

We all talked about....sure tackling....and no drops. 7 minutes into the game....we've had drops and missed tackles. Pick it up boys...somebody make a play....not one...all day long!

Wanzek makes some great catches, but he has dropped plenty of easy passes lately in big games. Think he dropped one at EWU. That drop right there was a fricking killer.

I feel about the same way as I felt when we played MSU.....with our depleted line...and their big OL...I was afraid that game could get ugly. Hopefully tomorrow I am as pleasantly surprised as I as against MSU. Just have to show up and play fundamentally sound football no matter what, don't crap the bed. Hopefully we can catch a couple of breaks. Need absolutely to go right to pull this one out.

Also I think what comes into play is your preseason ranking. If you start the year higher (meaning rated higher as in top 10-15) in the polls and lose you slip down a little. If you start at 22 or not in the polls, you lose and then you are totally out of it and have to work your way back in and have a higher perceptual mountain to climb. Look at UC Davis and EWU where they started the year and where they are now. If the preseason poll and perception of us had us starting the year at say #6 I bet we would be higher right now than where we are, even with the same actual game results. Preseason polls don’t mean much, but yet they do, and they aren’t going away anytime.

Now that is freaking legendary!

I think so too. And even though we supposedly have nobody in the room supporting us because we aren't in a conference, we weren't in a conference last year and we were one of the last four teams out. Heck I thought if we beat NAU last year we would have barely gotten in, but we looked horrible in that game and horrible the week before that. We looked like a hot mess of garbage at the end of the year last year, I didn't think we deserved the playoffs last year and was shocked we were one of the last 4 out. If we end up 7-4 with competitive game against Weber and comfortable wins the last two weeks I think we should be in. We still have one of the toughest schedules in the country so far. Let's hope Davis and SHSU keep winning, and maybe ISU can surprise somebody else too, would help a little.

An upset over Weber would be huge, and the biggest win of Bubba's era. If we lose though, we absolutely need to look like we belong on the same field. If we end up 7-4 and on the bubble they will be nit picking little things, and we all know we have the bad loss to ISU. But if we play Weber tight at the end of the year at their place, they are also going to have to consider that too. Lets' hope some guys are healed up and we are ready to play come Saturday!

So what....blame Bubba anyway (sarcarsm)

36-17 Weber with 5 minutes left in 4th. I only started watching mid way through 3rd, I think Sac State's starting QB may have gone out during the game.

Weber 29-10.....mid 3rd quarter. This will be an impressive win for Weber if they rip up what seems to be a really good Sac State team at their place. This is exactly what we want to happen. Lots of game left in this one though.

Ha yeah me too, didn't see you already commented that.

If he gets a crease.....he is gone. Looks a little like Boltmann and they use him somewhat like Boltmann too....putting him in the Wildcat.

As the other poster said.....have to hope Weber beats Sac St.....would make a win against them on the road look really impressive. And i hate to say it, but if we lose and it's a tight 4th quarter game that still looks ok. But a win almost assures us playoffs unless we totally crapped the bed the last two weeks (which we did last year). Let's hope they play Sac St. into OT in a battle. I was honestly the most nervous of any game this year......last week against MSU. With our injuries and our up and down......I was really afraid MSU might roll us and our realistic playoff chances would have mostly been over. Lets' hope the coaches Belichik it up again against Weber!

The score was 30-35 or something like that last year. But I believe we scored two non offensive TD's. Our offense didn't do much, thankfully we have some more creativity in the offense this year. However it will be tough sledding on the road against Weber. Can't have fumbles and will need some timely 3rd and/or 4th down conversions. Need to make FG's when we get the chance. We got the big play last week off a trick play, doesn't need to be a trick play but will need to get a big offensive play here and there.

I was going to say the same thing, going for 2 points there made no sense, and yeah the play call was stupid. If they were only down 3 instead of 4 that last time they got the ball, would have put more pressure on our defense to not let them in FG range. With a 4 point lead, I felt pretty good about us not letting them get a TD since they aren't a high powered passing attack. Then they got a delay of game on the last drive too. MSU fans must have been going crazy with some of those decisions and the way the end of the game played out.

It's hard to dink and dunk all day.....and have to have 10 play drives to score TD's. We definitely lack a deep passing game. Seems like at least once a game we need to do a pump fake on a short route to get the guy to bite....since we mostly run short routes.....and send him up field and try and hit him deep.

Yep I agree. We all blasted lack of NG....including me......but they did great today.....and the D totally won that game.

Congratulations to Schmidt and those boys up front.....great job! I never would have believed we would have held them to 12 freaking points!

YES!!! They did it! Amazing!!!
