Another Frosh (albeit redshirt) did that to us, btw.

Tyler Johnson continues to just baffle me. He can go 5 for 9 for 100 yards. 3 out of those 5 catches are "man" plays and the 4 drops are just plain Troy Williamson's.

No I formation, No Fullback, Single back....makes no sense.

Agree. That's the gameplan they came up with??

Similarities between Brewster and Fleck begin and end with being excitable. Fleck can actually coach his players up.

There are no moral victories and there are no moral losses. Only one team out of that game 0-1.

Status: offline 		I’m not as worried as most that we didn’t ‘kick the crap’ out of SDSU. People see FCS team from the sticks and automatically assume it’s easy. But this is a championship caliber FCS team. Close games against FBS teams and even upsets are not all that rare. It happens.

Yes a loss would been a huge setback. But they figured out a way to win and move on.

They’d better be ready for the next one though. Fresno State is a good program too. They regularly beat up on PAC 12 teams.

Status: online 		Look, I'm happy they "won" but it was really ugly and if they continue to play that way it's going to be another shitty season. That's all. We didn't beat them, they beat themselves with dumb penalties and really costly TO's.

I'm just being honest. We looked very unprepared. It's not like we run out a top 25 team yearly and this was one weird game. This is the new norm and it sucks.
