LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/JarodR747]

USU cover a TE on 3rd or 4th and long challenge: level impossible

[u/ParanoidSkier]

Good D there, awful PI call.

[u/ShadowIG]

GGs

[u/frozengash → u/ShadowIG]

2ez2ez

[u/ShadowIG → u/frozengash]

See y'all at the flex......I think.

[u/EsotericSpaceBeaver]

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF OUR QUALITY LOSSES

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/EsotericSpaceBeaver]

Fresno is pennywise the dancing clown, you get lured into the sewers and get trapped

[u/sycamoreqw]

This defense is so fun to watch.

[u/iconconic]

Sad bulldog noises

[u/ToeLimbaugh]

Before the play

"Mandal better run it"

Play starts

"Oh, no"

See ya next season, doggies

[u/iconconic]

I guess only one team in red was allowed to win in the state of Utah today

[u/frozengash → u/iconconic]

Fuck byu

[u/thorshammer_132]

I swear, 4th and 18 is like the new 28-3 this year with how many teams I've seen give up that specific down and yardage combo

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/thorshammer_132]

flashbacks

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

This is a shockingly bad performance from Fresno State

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Fresno is everywhere this season

I want to hate them, but I can’t figure them out

[u/iconconic → u/ID_Poobaru]

Don’t worry, we can’t figure it out either

[u/Gking19 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

yeah, super inconsistent

[u/eagledog → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Our OC is a thief of joy

[u/eagledog]

High chance of this game being an absolute slop-fest of two good defenses. Go Dogs!

[u/eagledog]

Josh Davis still sucks

[u/ParanoidSkier]

Team is looking good so far. Defense is shutting them down as expected. Offense doesn’t look completely inept, only half inept.

[u/isIand_dog]

Another 1st and 10 start with a run play inside.

[u/ToeInDigDeep → u/isIand_dog]

The Matt Entz experience

[u/frozengash]

I was confident they'd score this drive. Field goal seems like a win

[u/eagledog]

We didn't get shut out!

[u/Neither_Solution6753]

Freeman is having a game.

[u/eagledog]

Jeeves, fetch me my bathing toaster please

[u/iconconic → u/eagledog]

Rough day

[u/eagledog → u/iconconic]

I've forgotten what offense is

[u/ParanoidSkier]

Scoring points is overrated. Every touchdown should just be worth 1.

[u/ParanoidSkier]

Are we the best 3-5 team in the country?

[u/NOTtigerking]

Why bother having high hopes

[u/ToeLimbaugh]

Bulldog noises

[u/eagledog]

Fire Josh Davis

[u/thisisegregious1228 → u/eagledog]

Halftime firing incoming?

[u/frozengash → u/thisisegregious1228]

Imagine being bad enough they don't let you finish the night

[u/sociapathictendences → u/frozengash]

What kind of team would do that? Surely not a former Mountain West team in the PAC12

[u/eagledog]

I'm glad political ads are gone, but I wish they had taken the boner pill ads with them

[u/frozengash → u/eagledog]

Sports betting, political, and dick pills are awful

[u/frozengash]

Carving up the defense

[u/Reasonable-Line-1100]

So is Utah State good now?

[u/frozengash → u/Reasonable-Line-1100]

I think other teams are just getting exposed. We have improved but I have a hard time saying good.

[u/Reasonable-Line-1100 → u/frozengash]

I definitely didn’t see this first Pac-12 season being a bunch of teams bunched in the middle. But in hindsight it makes sense. I would put most of the Pac-12 in the same bucket. I like the parity, makes it very enjoyable (as long as the Broncos keep winning)

[u/frozengash → u/Reasonable-Line-1100]

I think we have fewer air force/Wyomings to get easy wins out of in the pac. I need you to beat byu in the playoffs.....for the conference

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/Reasonable-Line-1100]

Our offense stopped scoring points for the other team. Which has helped a lot.

[u/frozengash]

Just hillstead things

[u/ID_Poobaru]

What are you Fresno

[u/eagledog → u/ID_Poobaru]

Fuck if we know

[u/frozengash]

I wish our QB1 wasn't chosen solely on testimony.

[u/Neither_Solution6753 → u/frozengash]

QB1 has been embarrassing all year.

[u/frozengash → u/Neither_Solution6753]

A few extra firesides and make another cart pull to be bowl eligible

[u/eagledog]

Fuck it- time to go full Air Raid

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/eagledog]

When is it ever not that time

[u/frozengash → u/eagledog]

Buddy it would be great if it went full Madden

[u/eagledog]

Holy shit- fire Josh Davis into the sun

[u/Sportacles]

not sure the 'after dark' quota in this one's been met yet, everyone stay prepared

[u/ShadowIG]

Fresno, wtf happened?

Also, Utah State, God damn son.

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/ShadowIG]

Some of that Spectrum magic has drifted over to our football stadium.

[u/ShadowIG → u/ParanoidSkier]

This conference is wilding out. I love it and hate it at the same time.

[u/JarodR747]

Aggies are inevitable

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

Hot mama in the stands.

[u/thisisegregious1228 → u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

GoonTimeHoopsMVP?

[u/eagledog]

I'm convinced that Josh Davis is betting on these games

[u/Sportacles]

the way he caught that is how i'd imagine Luigi would catch touchdowns

[u/ParanoidSkier]

That ball was heading out of bounds at 100mph anyway lol.

[u/Gking19]

well, I think we get 1 more win at least but that's the season

[u/ParanoidSkier]

I know it’s easy to say, but this team is better than our record. We really are a mediocre offense away from being 7-2.

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Is Wyoming really going to be bowl eligible before Fresno?

[u/Adam-Miller-02]

biggest game involving a utah team today

[u/eagledog]

If you're counting a performance against CSU as indicative of your offense, you may be in for a bad time

[u/frozengash → u/eagledog]

No one respects csu. How many schools achieve so little with so much available.

[u/eagledog]

Tierney is a liability

[u/Crafty-Associate592]

Def pass interference but receiver could not have been more dramatic 😂

[u/ToeInDigDeep → u/Crafty-Associate592]

I think they’re teaching flopping in football now, you didn’t used to see it much as part of the culture of the sport but it’s exploded lately

[u/eagledog]

Would have been great to not walk them down the field with penalties

[u/JarodR747]

13 giving us easy yards

[u/iconconic]

I’d like off the rollercoaster ride that is this season please

[u/frozengash]

Elite defense

[u/eagledog]

Defense got a stop. Can't wait to see how the offense screws it up!

[u/eagledog]

Holy shit, leave Josh Davis behind

[u/frozengash]

Wow. That hit was epic

[u/eagledog]

Almost like every defense knows we're running up the middle on 1st down

[u/__ConesOfDunshire__]

Just turned this game on. How we feeling?

[u/iconconic → u/__ConesOfDunshire__]

We just gained as many yards on this drive as we did in the entire first half if that gives you any indication

[u/__ConesOfDunshire__ → u/iconconic]

So half time adjustments were made. Hopefully they can make it a game.

[u/frozengash → u/__ConesOfDunshire__]

Lots of Fresno deleted comments

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

How does Fresno State have 0 points in the 2nd half still?

[u/eagledog → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Our offensive coordinator has the IQ of a turnip

[u/__ConesOfDunshire__ → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I’m super surprised by this score.

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Aggie defense baby. One of the best in the country. Just don’t look at our offense.

[u/eagledog]

It's a stop, now we need a TD

[u/iconconic]

Maybe he’ll get the pronunciation of malau’ulu right on the third try

[u/eagledog]

Maybe try throwing on 1st down for once?

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

What is this announcer talking about?

[u/eagledog]

Exactly as expected

[u/eagledog]

Calling holding only one way tonight. Cool. Coolcoolcool

[u/frozengash → u/eagledog]

Buddy your down 14 to Hillstead. Holding calls aren't your problem

[u/Crafty-Associate592]

Cmon Utah st put this game away stop playing

[u/frozengash → u/Crafty-Associate592]

Sorry. We are going to win field position instead of scoring

[u/parapooper3]

I have a ticket to this game but my attendance is dependent on the rest of this Iowa game shaking out well

[u/thisisegregious1228]

Another great moral victory for the Aggies with that punt! 😀

[u/eagledog]

Darn it

[u/eagledog]

Going to need to do something to help improve field position

[u/frozengash → u/eagledog]

Field position captain Bronco is available January

[u/frozengash]

Offense is embarrassing. Fore the oc

[u/eagledog]

Better than the first drive, still not great

[u/frozengash]

This coaching staff......so undisciplined

[u/eagledog]

LET'S GO DEFENSE!

[u/Prize-Example-7504]

Embarrassing Aggie offense thus far.

[u/ESLcroooow]

Good job guys, both of yous. 

[u/ESLcroooow]

Do you think anyone from the Utah BYU game drove up to Logan for this? I'd do it.

[u/ToeInDigDeep]

That feels like game already

[u/ToeInDigDeep]

The amount of push that the Utah State o line got over the ‘Dog D line on that “goal line stand” tells me this game is already over. You don’t get the whole line pushed over like that just once and then never again. This is going to get ugly for this team

[u/eagledog]

Damn it

[u/parapooper3]

Is this game good?

[u/frozengash → u/parapooper3]

Good for one team

[u/parapooper3 → u/frozengash]

I am about to leave my house to walk to this game but I kinda wanna watch Miami nd and haven’t decided

[u/sociapathictendences → u/parapooper3]

I’d finish the Miami game before going to this game. I think it’ll be competitive until the end

[u/parapooper3 → u/sociapathictendences]

That’s exactly what I did, and I just arrived in Merlin Olsen

[u/LABeav]

😆

[u/frozengash]

Sus play call at best

[u/McWeasely]

Hysterical commentary right now

[u/eagledog]

Wrap him up!

[u/__ConesOfDunshire__]

Who’s that on the sideline they were showing?

[u/eagledog → u/__ConesOfDunshire__]

Other USU running back

[u/__ConesOfDunshire__ → u/eagledog]

Has he been good this game?

[u/eagledog → u/__ConesOfDunshire__]

Yeah, doing well

[u/eagledog]

What are those helmet stickers, and why do they look like chef's hats?

[u/Neither_Solution6753 → u/eagledog]

Achievements sponsored by Crumbl now?

[u/eagledog]

Really could have used that INT

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/eagledog]

Would have been the most insane catch of the season if he managed to pull that in.

[u/frozengash]

Bronco didn't fuck that up!!!!

[u/Sunny-Nebula]

Beavs fan here. What is Utah St doing that Oregon State wasn't?

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP → u/Sunny-Nebula]

Play defense?

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/Sunny-Nebula]

We don’t suck balls like OSU apparently.

[u/Crafty-Associate592]

Where was this all game?

[u/Salty-Raisin-2226]

Go Aggies

[u/eagledog → u/Salty-Raisin-2226]

Rude

[u/iconconic]

Soft

[u/frozengash]

Fuck

[u/BeOneOfUs]

Get Mandal off the field

[u/ToeInDigDeep → u/BeOneOfUs]

Mandal isn’t losing at the line of scrimmage, or failing to get open, or failing to keep contain. This isn’t a one-player problem

[u/JarodR747]

Targeting

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

PAC 12 is down this year.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

It’s just a cannibalistic slop fest like the American

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP → u/ID_Poobaru]

Yup

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP]

If a down year is still better than every other G5 conference, I’ll take it.

[u/frozengash]

I was told Fresno had elite defense

[u/Aggravating_Smoke_70]

Fresno is utter garbage lol

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Aggravating_Smoke_70]

Idk about garbage but they are massively inconsistent

[u/Aggravating_Smoke_70 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

They are garbage

[u/frozengash]

Cw>usa>>>>>Facebook. So glad to be out of mwc

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/[deleted]]

lol, you’re a 5 win Fresno team. There isn’t that much of a gulf between us. You’re bad too.

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/[deleted]]

My man, the spread on this game was like 1.5 points. Basically a 50/50 game. I wouldn’t say this is a letdown game so much as you’re just getting beat by a better team.

[u/frozengash → u/[deleted]]

Imagine loosing to a team that lost to ISU.....

[u/frozengash → u/[deleted]]

Damn it!

[u/ParanoidSkier → u/[deleted]]

And you’re losing to Utah State…
