GDT: UC Davis (9/10/22)

[filbert]

Well...that was unexpected. 26-16 SDSU after a UCD TD and a blocked extra point run back for a 2 point conversion.

And upon further review...just a blocked PAT. 24-16 SDSU.

Nicholas Tyler nearly missing out on his Larry Allen moment (probably closer to the DK Metcalf/Julio Jones ones), granted Tyler is 100 pounds lighter. Still an impressive chase-down attempt given he was on his knees

[filbert]

And it's 24-22 SDSU. 2:03 to go.

Sheesh.

I may need one more beer very soon.

[filbert]

Well, at least it'll be a victory beer.

[CA Forever]

Congrats on the win guys! Much more respectable effort from the Aggies this go around. Good luck the rest of the season!

3 turnovers, 1 missed onside kick recovery, numerous bad snaps. It’s a win but ugly.

[JackFan96]

Is Mike Zimmer the head coach of the Jacks now?

Probably wouldn't hurt any.

Defense was good given all the injuries. Offense gets a sold grade of D+ with absolutely no creativity. Special teams completely unprepared for the onside kick.

Slopping lipstick on a pig tonight, but it's a win.

That was a **** performance on the offensive side of the ball. No two ways around it. This isn’t a top 10 team unless they figure it out on O. They just look lost out there.

[Kemo]

That was about as bad of ending to a game you can have that doesn't end up in the loss column. So much to clean up. Butler can't come soon enough.

[GoJacks2011]

Traffic flow out of the stadium tonight was almost as bad as our offense. Whoever is in charge of that needs to make some major changes.

Definitely room for improvement. Hopefully they get the traffic control sorted out prior to the USD game.

I was also baffled that they only had one exit gate open on the east side

[jakejc795]

Didn't know UC Davis had a top 5 defense too and that's why Lujan has terrible playcalling again

Life's certainties -- death, taxes, and Lujan disparagement.

Again, there were plays there (e.g., the sideline pass to Heins)

[Mr_Tibbs]

Reflecting on it a little this morning, I think this offense is going to take several more games to settle in. Between a first time OC, young and banged up o line, and Mark getting his feet back under him, it’s going to take some reps for the O to build their own identity. They look lost out there. It’s not necessarily the play calls themselves, but outside of one or two drives, it seemed like there wasn’t any purpose or momentum with how things were called. And then the O line had their struggles that totally washed away whatever decent play calling might have done. Mark looked better today, but still needs a couple games to settle in.

Defense was great and I’m not worried about that side of the ball. We played a good offensive team and held them down while being out like 6 guys on that side. This season will come down to if our offense can develop, and how fast. We’ve got a big game in two weeks in Springfield, then a stretch in early October of USD-NDSU-UND. We either get it figured out now, or get ready to drop some games in October and kiss a seed goodbye.

For having two pre-season AA's on the left side of the line, I haven't seen that kind of production yet. To be honest, for a good portion of the game last night, it seemed that the running game was having more success running to the right side.
