As we move closer to this game, it's not rocket science, these are the dudes that need to the ball in their hands offensively for us to have a chance to win. Win the run game with fresh legs and change of pace because this is going to be a hard hat game with tough yards earned. Design, creativity, and timing in the passing game will be critical to spring it open.

This game sort of feels similar to 2017. However, I think we are a better all around team this time around. Play our game, clean up the penalties from last week, and I think we will be happy with the outcome. It will be a dogfight.

I'm guessing we don't win if we can't force some turnovers. Indiana State was, I think, the first time that we didn't force any, and that game was definitely not how we wanted it to play out.

Season isn't over so it's not fair to say yet. At this point in 2017 that team looked unstoppable.

Fair. We were never the same after the Illinois State trip.
I know no one wants to get their hopes up. I respect that. But we have every reason to feel optimistic about our team. I love where we are at right now.

Late request but does anyone have a couple seats available? Two family members had a prior commitment that fell through and now looking to attend. PM if anything available.

Word on the street is that we will be at full strength across the board, so it should be a fun one.

I love where we are at right now. I'm at a reserved confidence. I'm not arrogant or defeatist regarding this team against anyone. Have played well enough to beat anyone, have had some poor stretches in games too. This week's game though, what is there to say that hasn't been said over and over? We know them and they know us. I'm happily accepting a lull here instead of the same tired smack we've heard a million times from both sides. Very much ready to see this one play out and see where things stand afterwards.

Tyler Merriam was on with Mark Ovenden today. (Thayer was on yesterday.)
He pointed out that we are playing much better complimentary football right now after dropping the up tempo offense. No kidding! If only Schlafke could’ve seen that, what could’ve been.

Both sides are not running smack because both sides know they could either win this game or lose this game. Cautious apprehension.

I think the Coyotes should feel confident about this game. We are solid on both sides, and we have depth, unlike prior years. We can run the football with multiple backs, and that sets up our passing game for one of the best young QBs in the conference.
We are going up against the best, so it will be a battle, but this is our opportunity to see how close we are to the prize. Go Yotes!

To me, it makes sense that the models strongly favor SDSU (on paper). They are ranked #1 and have had sustained success. That said, models can’t incorporate the intangible factors involved with rivalry games, and being the underdog benefits us psychologically. I expect tomorrow to be the fullest and rowdiest I have ever seen the dome (I’m a 2015 grad and wasn’t in-person for the 2017 bout). Additionally, we seem to have a mentally strong team this year and I expect Josh Davis to have a few new looks and tricks up his sleeve. Tomorrow should be a lot of fun. I’ll only be sorely disappointed if we get whooped or lose in a dumb way.
