Didn't know what to expect yesterday. Our guys fought hard. Up 10-0? didn't expect that for sure. Great job defense! Shutting down the Huskies the second half. Bright spots by the offense, plus things to work on. That sure didn't look like a #25 team in the nation. They'll probably be much better with their starting QB back next week. We shall see what happens next week with the Beavers coming to town. One more PAC-12 school up.
Speaking of Oregon State, they opened up with JJ's former team, Portland State, winning 29-14 after being down at the half. They still have their QB, Mannion, that tore us up last year, but gone is his favorite WR that went off to the NFL. The Beavers used 5 FGs to pull out the win.
- Northern Iowa gave it's in state big brother Iowa a scare, barely losing 23-31. The Panther's top WR had 5 catches for 205 yards including a 70 yard scamper. What hurt them was 16 penalties for 128 yards. They have a bye this week to prepare for us. Hope they get here early and enjoy the sun and surf to distract them a little so they can't fix those things.
- Colorado State came back to win against it's rival, the Buffaloes, 31-17. CSU has a new RB transfer from Alabama who followed his former OC, now HC for the Rams. Hopefully CU continues to struggle when we get there in a few weeks. They head to UMASS next week to see if they figure it out.
- Rice was the unlucky welcome mat for Notre Dame's return of their star QB Golson, who sat out a year for not taking care of school. Rice did put up 367 yards of offense but could only get 2 TDs, as they lose 17-48. They luckily have a bye before heading to Kenny football and Texas A&M in two weeks.
- wyokie's Cowbows take down Montana 17-12. They had 209 yards on the ground of their 301. Wyoming has a new starter at QB as well in Kirkegaard, and he was 13-21 for 92 yards and an int. They might be looking to look to the run more often until he gets on track, hopefully after they play us. They host thin air MWC foe Air Force next week.
- SDSU also beats up a cupcake in Northern Arizona. They head out east to play North Carolina this week.
- Nevada's Fajardo is still there, and he accounted for 371 yards of total offense as they also took on a div-1aa team in Southern Utah, prevailing, 28-19. They get PAC-12 bottom dweller Washington State this week.
- Utah State's return of Chuckie Keeton is not a good one as the Aggies could only muster up a late TD in a blowout at Tennessee, 7-38. They get to ease up this week with Idaho State.
- Geez, did almost everyone play a div-1aa team this week? San Jose st also got North Dakota and beat em up good, 42-10. They had no problem replacing their QB, as the new guy threw for 3 TDs and ran for another. They got a tougher challenge next week as they head to Auburn to take on the Tigers.
- UNLV goes a little south to get smashed by Arizona, 13-58. They do amass 371 yards, but can't keep up. They can rest a little maybe this week with Northern Colorado coming in.
- Carr-less Fresno gets the full wrath of USC's crazy offseason, 13-52. Saw some of the highlights and it wasn't pretty for the Bulldogs. It doesn't get any easier this week as they now head to Utah. (and then Nebraska the week after). Maybe Pat Hill scheduled all these games like he did in the past.
Anyways, nice crowd this week, 36k. Much higher than anticipated. And they got a good game. Hopefully most of those fans show up next weekend. Go Warriors! Go Bows!
Go Warriors! Go Na Wahine!
