Now that the draft is near, it reminds me that I was fairly critical of Love's potential as an NFL QB. I thought he had a horrible senior year at USU and his poor play cost the team. He also had some off-field issues. I didn't think he was mobile enough to be successful in the NFL. Turns out the Pa...

Ike really tailed off performance wise in the last few games. Seems like there were some reports about an injury but the guy still got out there and played. Was it worse than reported? And, if it was worse than reported, is he recovered? I think teams began scheming away from Ike and that might be ...

You do not become a multi-time High School FB, Wrestling, and Javelin Champ State Champ without a bit of competitive "juice" flowing through your veins. And you don't come back from a substantial injury to play again at the FBS collegiate level without that same "juice". Barring another injury, I w...

Chuckie is on my Mt Rushmore of USU football. That won't ever change.

For now it would seem: Coop and/or Petras Hillstead Barnes Petras/Hillstead process field easily the best and make quickest and best reads and use the entire offense. Negative; Hillstead size is limiting whereas Petras quite tall and sees field nicely! Also Hillstead throws by far the best and most...

My question is which qb is processing the defense the best and can go through his progressions quickly. Something that was a struggle last year. :cheers: great point Hillstead was fine with his timing in the pocket until he took that vicious double helmet to the head shot. I hope he's fully recover...

Impressed with the recruiting. The 2 guys we brought in seem ready to play.

Let's have an open competition!

This is the team to do it.

I was most impressed with Josh Jacobs before he got his big raise with the Raiders. His average YPC dropped from about 5 to 3.5 from 2022 to 2023. Maybe he had a down year with the Raiders, but hopefully, he'll pick it back up for Love and GB. The Raiders QBs were Jimmy Garoppolo and Aiden O’Connel...

Is this the best season of Aggie basketball ever? Kinda feels like it could be. With the level of competition we have faced, I think this is definitely the best Aggie basketball season ever. The 1969-1970 Marv Roberts/Nate Williams team made it to the Elite Eight, where they lost to eventual champi...

I actually like that these morons don't know anything about Logan. A bar used to be a big thing because that was the ONLY PLACE you could get an adult beverage served to you. Now you can get a beer, bottle of wine or a mixed drink at any of the restaurants. For us seniors: Stripper afternoon at the ...

Not getting into the weeds so deep. I spoke to a member of the coaching staff at a game early in the season (very early) and he told me that he felt that this team was capable of winning an NCAA tourney game. As I watch the season play out, I'm trying to change my mind set. Sure, we want to win out ...

The NBA comish spoke to Chris Paul about the all Star game last year and asked what he could do to make the game better. Make it a competitive game not just a shoot around. Paul told him to cut all the pre-game and halftime concerts etc. The comish did just that and this was still the worst all star...

Here in Niner country everyone is in lockstep with Shanahan. How can you not be? He's a winner, but IMHO his arrogance is over the top. You have someone like that as a coach, eventually his bad mojo gets in the players heads, and they fold under pressure. It's good to hear from outside sources. Chec...

El Sapo

I didn't know if they were going to re-set as time expired in overtime and start another OT or let the game play on. Don't feel so bad about that since the niners play by play guy Greg Papa said he didn't know the answer to that either. Shanahan is and arrogant flat brim wearing nepo baby. LOL His ...

I'm going Chiefs. It's crazy that they are getting points. 2 - 2/1/2. I think the Chief's defense will be able to control the Niners offense. I don't think the 49er defense will be able to control Mahomes / Chiefs. Looking at the way the Chiefs are playing right now. Wins over Miami, Buffalo, and t...

Bosa just said that he doesn't think Love has been forced to pass under pressure. Dallas tried to pressure him. How did that work out? I think the Niners DL is better than the Cowboy's, but how much better? The matchup is really Purdy v Packer defense. Pack held Prescott to 6? points in the first ha...

Great info Roy! Thanks for sharing. The highest paid DLinemen in the NFL are now interior guys (Tackles). Tackles that can get to the QB and run stopping anchors in the middle of the DL are the secret sauce for great defenses. 49er's Coach and GM are open about their team success being a function of...

I know we just hired our new DC, but are we hearing anything about a switch in our base scheme? Would be amazing to run a 3-4 or 3-3-5 as our base and we should have multiple different schemes depending on what the offense is doing and our strengths. Multiple is the keyword. Just read the Deseret a...

Does House have a nut hanging out his shorts? Brings back horrible memories of the 1986 Fleer Kelly Tripucka card. Or the F-U on the knob of Billy Ripken's bat on his baseball card I DO have that card. I do too? I need to check what's left of my collection. Should have made a better decision where ...

One of the other things that can easily be done with a 3 3 5 is essentially a 5 man front too that can on certain calls really limits the run/pass read responsibilities of everyone and thus eliminate some of the disadvantages of only six defenders via both pre-snap disguise and easy run/pass assign...

Nick Saban (I think it was him) said something that was interesting to me after he the lost the playoff game to Michigan. In college football the hurry-up, no-huddle offense is the trend. Nick Saban commented how all year their defense has been able to see how the offense lines up (and then stares ...

This is now updated with Switzer planning to gain 20 lbs and play LB full time next year. (Players in blue are new). It honestly looks somewhat promising to me. I can't imagine we have another bottom 10 defense with this group :noidea: WILL (weakside outside linebacker): Max Alford (6-1, 235, R-So....

El Sapo

Only fair. We have the end of season stats and the games are still fresh. Hire an OC to call plays. Run a pro-style offense. No more up-tempo unless we're behind by 3 scores. Line our WR's up normally (away from the out of bounds line) so that DB's have to cover our WR's running pass routes both way...

How about fewer turnovers from our offense?

El Sapo

Nmsu ran a 3-3-5 last year. 👀 Meh maybe as a basic concept. If you watch their film it looks more like a 4-3, 4-2, or 3-4. I've brought this up on the board before, very few good coaches in today's game run a true base defense. I would say 80% of the time the weakside backer is lined up as a stand ...

El Sapo

Heard some Bama fans that remember Bear Bryant leaving say that they expect similar turmoil in the program.

Saben has no equal.

El Sapo

You don't build a program firing coaches after 3 years. Especially a coach who won a league championship and took us to 3 bowl games.

El Sapo

Who handled the BB coach recruitment? It's not league play yet but that hire looks good right now.
