I understand your M3A3 reference in your article now. At the time I didn't think about it and thought it was a formatting error or something. He is definitely a tank... An amazing combination of size, speed, and hands.
As far as the score of the game, I think SDSU wins by 2 scores. I just checked and SDSU has been pegged as 3 point favorites for this one. (Checks bank account, contemplates how much I can afford to throw down on a bet that the jacks will cover, remembers how the jacks haven't won a hobo day game in 5 years, decides to not even think about betting)
Yea, I considered going with "air to surface assault vehicle", but that was a bit too wordy and odd-sounding (plus, I don't really know if that's even a thing...it'd be like a troop transport helicopter or something I think...maybe?), so I went with something shorter that some people might understand, some won't, but for those that didn't, it didn't really get in the way too much.
I knew from our game against you guys that he could catch the ball, but didn't fully realize until watching last Saturday's game just how much of a size advantage he has over so many of the guys trying to defend him. I just ran through NDSU's roster, and he's bigger than any of the LBs or DBs they have listed (and half of the guys on the D-line). You don't often see a guy that size who can catch, find separation, and is that fast. He doesn't have "lightning speed", but he can get trucking along pretty well. I remember one specific play, I think it was the 9-yard catch that he had to get you guys down to the 2 on the last TD drive...a defender would come up to try to tackle him, and he'd just grab them and shove them down to the ground...did that a couple of times before 2-3 Bison defenders finally got on his back and got him down. He's like our RB Nikko Watson from last year, but with 4 extra inches of height, and a much better ability to catch the ball. The dude looks like a Big 10 tight end that everyone expects to be playing in the NFL in a couple of years. No offense to the other very talented guys on that side of the ball, but I think out of all of SDSU's offensive weapons this year, he's the one most likely to make it at the next level.
And yes, I don't see how YSU stays within 3 points of SDSU when they're running a #3 or #4 backup QB. He didn't really show signs that he's secretly the next Carson Wentz or anything in the last part of their game last week. I guess if the YSU defense really steps up....I mean REALLY steps up, they could hold SDSU to something close to the points that their own offense can put up, but I don't see that happening.
Yeah I think I posted somewhere else on AGS that we were down to 3rd string qb, but in all honesty, DoubleE is right. I forgot pecking order when I posted my other comment somewhere. Mays is the 4th string. Although, if I was to guess, Alvin Bailey is probably the backup. He played QB in high school, and would probably come in for a wildcat package.
I'm excited for this game, because I believe in my team and the defense. I'm hoping the offense surprises me, but I am thinking this will be an overwhelming amount of adversity to face. Not saying they can't do it, and am hoping they do, but time will tell.
Because the defense is outstanding if YSU can run the ball they've got a chance regardless of who is the QB. If they can't run, they are screwed. Based on what I've seen this year, it seems YSU can run against anyone. They ran right at the stacked boxes UNI, ISU, and WVU used to try and stop them and they still had success. It will be interesting for sure
Bo said on the radio that Davis's MRI of his knee was fine, and implied he would start at Brookings, but Charles suggests otherwise: http://www.vindy.com/news/2016/oct/1...s-off-fb-woes/
IDK where the rumor that Wells is above Mays on the depth chart came from. Charles says he's fourth but Bo won't specifically list them. Wells had a preseason shoulder injury, and then Bo said it was fine, and now it's back despite not playing. No mention of physical therapy or anything. I think when faced with not starting, Wells opted out rather than try to continue to compete, will redshirt this year, and transfer to a place he'll have less competition for the starting job, probably D2.
