Weber St. @ Cal Poly Game Thread

[gbhmt]

Game of the week starting in five minutes!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Good crowd...

[charliej]

Got my Beer & pop-corn...all set!xthumbsupx

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

I don't see Weber State being able to score enough, 20+ to win this game.

[gbhmt]

Well it wasn't a great start.

[RideHighMustangs]

Well here we go... what a catch by ramses!

[Philliesfan980]

Would it be too much to ask the broadcast crew to add down and distance and a clock to the online broadcast? Makes it tough to follow these games if you're not glued to the game.

[RideHighMustangs]

TOUCHDOWN BARDEN 19 YDS

[Philliesfan980]

Great pass and catch by Cal Poly for the score.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TD Poly!

[RideHighMustangs]

THATS 20 CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH A TD!

[gbhmt]

Man these announcers make Phil Buck sound like an anti-homer.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

And they make the XP!!! :p

[RideHighMustangs]

My heart goes out to our kicker. Gardiner's has gotta have his head spinning right now

[appmountaineer]

Does anyone know of a better feed than CBS sports?

[malibudude]

Hey PAT. Mini roll.

[I Bleed Purple]

First drive seemed tentative for Weber.

[Live4Griz]

Is there a audio link for this game?

[Philliesfan980]

Did I hear that right? A Pre-Game competition? I don't follow CalPoly, but that sounds crazy.

[malibudude]

Does anyone know of a better feed than CBS sports?

[malibudude]

7-0 Poly. Barden TD

[RideHighMustangs]

Question... is Jason Cox (Center - Poly) playing? I lived across the hall from him freshman year. Good guy, helluva player.

[RideHighMustangs]

BIG SACK!

[malibudude]

Big sack on Higgins. 3rd and 17

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Wow. What a catch!

[RideHighMustangs]

Nice catch BBQ St

[grizband]

Nice catch!! xeekx

[Syntax Error]

Phillips with a highlight catch!!!!!!!!

[malibudude]

40 yard gain by Weber, big pass play.

[RideHighMustangs]

that would have been a monster pick

[SLOSTYLE]

good catch, but im worried about that deep ball threat

[RideHighMustangs]

How can that guy catch that?! check the hands for stickum!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Damn... that's 2 30+ yard catches this drive!

[malibudude]

Weber at the one. great catch. QB is throwing it up for grabs. TD Weber

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TD Weber!!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

And we have a game folks!

[I Bleed Purple]

TD. Playing up to stop Smith early. Man on the corners. Weber wins that battle.

[malibudude]

7-7

[Ronbo]

Let the shootout begin.

[uofmman1122]

Doesn't look like Defense will be a huge part of this game. lol

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Let the shootout begin.


xthumbsupx xbowx

[malibudude]

Defense will be a part. Who can stop who and when.

[RideHighMustangs]

Defense will be a part. Who can stop who and when.

Sounds like arena football.

[mvemjsunpx]

Weber seems to be really keying on Noble.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I think getting manhandled and eventually beaten last week against EWU might have been a good thing for Weber... a nice wake-up call.

[bobbythekidd]

I have audio. Does anyone have a link for the video?

[malibudude]

Big sack on Daly

[Syntax Error]

WSU doing the 8 man front

[RideHighMustangs]

WHY ARE YOU RUNNING ON THIRD AND LONG

THROW TO RAMSES OR TOLVER!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Weber doesn't bite on the QB draw play. Let's go Wildcats!

[mvemjsunpx]

Odd play call on 3rd. & long. CP to punt.

[Syntax Error]

Interesting running the option on 3rd and basically 10

[malibudude]

I have audio. Does anyone have a link for the video?

It's hard to believe Wisconsin had that much trouble with this style offense by Cal Poly.

[grizband]

I have audio. Does anyone have a link for the video?

Would you provide the link you have for audio? Thx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Etuati with the 1st down grab.

[RideHighMustangs]

what poor run defense

[Skjellyfetti]

WOW. Two NICE moves by Weber State running back.

[malibudude]

TD Weber.

[UMass922]

Wow, nice TD run!

[mvemjsunpx]

Trevyn Smith made the whole Mustang D look like a high school team there.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Trevyn Smith runs it in from 30 yards out! What a run!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

TD Weber!!

[yosef1969]

TD Weber St!

[malibudude]

Weber's unis are ugly

[uofmman1122]

Wow....Way too many Poly defenders should have grabbed Smith.

Nice job Weber.

[I Bleed Purple]

Great run by Smith.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

That was a filthy run... some nice cuts!

[GATA]

This Weber State team reminds me of the Texas State team from '05. They have a bunch of awesome athletes...a really good QB and they came out of nowhere.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

This is could easily top the JMU/Wofford game for game of the week! xthumbsupx

I'm thoroughly entertained!

[RideHighMustangs]

Alright poly, time to get back on offense. No more of this 3rd and long crap. It's the playoffs for cryin out loud! You got 2 great receivers as well as good RBs... USE THEM ALL!

[GrizRchattybound]

That was a filthy run... some nice cuts!

Best run I've seen this year - that kid is sick!

[malibudude]

20 yard gain Dally

[smegriz]

This could be a high scoring affair, haha.

[grizband]

This Weber State team reminds me of the Texas State team from '05. They have a bunch of awesome athletes...a really good QB and they came out of nowhere.
They were a top 5 offense last year, and returned everyone - I wouldn't call that coming out of no where. :D

[RideHighMustangs]

20 yard gain Dally

Forgot to mention one helluva QB too!

[uofmman1122]

Wow....nice shot at the end, Weber.

Surprised they didn't call it.

[RideHighMustangs]

Good run by Dally... made something out of nothing

[malibudude]

Dally another 20+ run.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

This could be a high scoring affair, haha.

You think? xlolx

[RideHighMustangs]

You think? xlolx

Defense?

We don't need no stinkin defense!xsmiley_wix

[Screamin_Eagle174]

[malibudude]

Holding on Weber

[Screamin_Eagle174]

1st doooowwwwwnnnnn WEEEEEBER!!!

(Hey, somebody has to homer for the wildcats!)

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Toone already has 4 catches for 71 yards! xeekx

[malibudude]

Poly stop 4th and 2. Punt team on.

[RideHighMustangs]

Alrighty.... defensive stop for poly!

[malibudude]

Poly's ball on their 12 yard line.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

A defensive stop. Weird.


(Although it was more of an offensive misstep.)

[uofmman1122]

What the heck kind of punt protection was that?

Putting a lot of faith in your returner with all those WSU defenders coming at him.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Wooooh! Go Photographer!

[yosef1969]

What was that last play? A guy in the backfield making contact with football using his foot???? Crazy....

[bobbythekidd]

Cal Poly has some BIG O linemen! I am used to seeing smaller/faster linemen for an option team.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

3rd and long coming up for the Mustangs. Let's go Weber, your turn for a stop!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Damn.

[RideHighMustangs]

bull that was a catch!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Wait. Waved off! :D

[Cleets]

Does Weber alternate between 3-4 and a 4-3 on D..? xeyebrowx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Nice return... great field position! 1st and 10 on the CP 37.

[yosef1969]

TD Weber!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

1 play!

[malibudude]

TD Weber State. Blown coverage.

[RideHighMustangs]

wow that was just bleeping poor

[UMass922]

Holy wide-open, Batman!

[I Bleed Purple]

I think that's the fourth or fifth time we've scored on that exact play.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That was a great play by Weber. The back was open by 30 yards.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Weber goes up 21-14 with the pass to Smith down the sideline on the play action to Smith!

[malibudude]

21-14 Weber

[GATA]

Is Notre Dame the worst football team ever?

[I Bleed Purple]

You'd think on film they've seen how open Smith is on that play.

[Cleets]

Somebody watch this Weber defensive series and tell me if they're not alternating between a traditional 4-3 and a hybrid 3-4 of some kind...

xeyebrowx

watch and tell me...


okay

[RideHighMustangs]

that was a nice return. time to strike back

[malibudude]

CP ball on their 36. 9:58 in the second

[I Bleed Purple]

Somebody watch this Weber defensive series and tell me if they're not alternating between a traditional 4-3 and a hybrid 3-4 of some kind...

xeyebrowx

watch and tell me...


okay

New to me. Probably implemented to fight the option.

[RideHighMustangs]

Somebody watch this Weber defensive series and tell me if they're not alternating between a traditional 4-3 and a hybrid 3-4 of some kind...

xeyebrowx

watch and tell me...


okay

They just audibled from a 4-3 to a 3-4

[GATA]

I've noticed that Weber is shifting in and out of "even" and "odd" fronts. In case some don't know what that means...sometimes they're playing a noseguard or a mike linebacker directly over the center and sometimes they don't.

This is pretty smart because Cal Poly's blocking schemes (like most triple option schemes) are probably centered around odd and even defensive fronts. Every time they shift they're screwing up Cal Poly's blocking schemes.

[I Bleed Purple]

Yep. Never seen this before. Option style defense I guess.

[Cleets]

New to me. Probably implemented to fight the option.

they did it again...!!!

4-3 to a 3-4 WEIRD..!!!!! xlolx (but effective)

[Ronbo]

Rob a bank for a secure future! xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[malibudude]

Weber NG hurt.

[RideHighMustangs]

lol that was funny... center saw a DL go into the neutral zone, snaps the ball, dally not ready for it. 5 yd penalty

[proasu89]

How often do these squads play each other?

[gbhmt]

How often do these squads play each other?

Why do you ask?

[RideHighMustangs]

Move dem chains!

[GATA]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...but when Cal Poly has twin wide receivers to one side of the field...why is Weber covering the inside receiver? They're both on the line of scrimmage so isn't the inside receiver "covered" and not eligible?

[mvemjsunpx]

How often do these squads play each other?

CP blew out Weber at home last year. I'm not sure about before that.

[RideHighMustangs]

TOLVER DROPPED IT AND THEN IT WAS PICKED!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[grizband]

xeekx xeekx Tolliver drop picked by Weber

[Screamin_Eagle174]

PICK!!!

[uofmman1122]

xoopsxxoopsxxoopsx

[UMass922]

Ouch! Golden opportunity for Poly turns into a pick for Weber.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

That was a terrible pass. The guy was open by a mile. How did that get picked?

[I Bleed Purple]

Wow... How could you have that happen.

[RideHighMustangs]

poly needs a stop NOW

[malibudude]

Poly missestouchdown, receiver drops ball for an int. poly is out of sorts.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

That looked like the same run/cut on Weber's second TD.

[RideHighMustangs]

That was a terrible pass. The guy was open by a mile. How did that get picked?

heard footsteps/tried to make a move too early

[charliej]

Weber st is gonna bust my bracket if this keeps up.xeekx

[GATA]

Way to blow it Weber

[RideHighMustangs]

FUMBLEEEEEE

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Oh wow, on top of OH WOW.

[grizband]

xrotatehx Are you kidding me?!? xeekx

[uofmman1122]

xlolxxlolxxlolx

FUMBLE!!!

[malibudude]

Almost td for Weber. fumble by weber. Poly ball.

[RideHighMustangs]

oh goodness
that was so clutch with the fumble!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

What the heck just happened there? The resolution isn't very good. This is crazy....

[I Bleed Purple]

We give it right back.

[UMass922]

. . . and now a golden opportunity for Weber turns into a fumble recovery for Poly.

[SLOSTYLE]

god no replay is such an issue in fcs for both sides

[GATA]

WTF BARDEN!?

[Skjellyfetti]

Wow. This is an exciting game.

Didn't really have a clear look... but, I thought he looked down.

[RideHighMustangs]

BARDEN DROPS IT

[malibudude]

Barden drops TD pass.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Barden drops it? Weird to hear those words in the same sentence!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Another guy open by 20 yards for Poly and they miss it...

[RideHighMustangs]

This is just infuriating.... cmon poly, wtf guys

[uofmman1122]

Jeeze....WTF is going on!?

Dally throws a Pick, Toone fumbles, and Barden drops it!

WTF!? xeekx

[gbhmt]

Well that's two straight plays for both teams that would have been scores that went for turnovers. No complaints allowedxthumbsupx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

What a game baby!

[RideHighMustangs]

nice run by noble to pick up barden

[patssle]

How has the officiating been? (SLC refs)

[bobbythekidd]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...but when Cal Poly has twin wide receivers to one side of the field...why is Weber covering the inside receiver? They're both on the line of scrimmage so isn't the inside receiver "covered" and not eligible?
You might be confusing terms. Just because you are an inside receiver does not mean you are "covered". Being a "covered" receiver does not make you an ineligible receiver.

[RideHighMustangs]

You got to think that having the game this weekend when most of the students are gone at home has some effect on poly...

[Cleets]

Holy Cat ***** this is an exciting game..!!!!


xbowx

[proasu89]

Why do you ask?

Just wanted to know about familiarity w/ one another and history between the two if there was any.

[malibudude]

Mole 20 yard gain.

[gbhmt]

You got to think that having the game this weekend when most of the students are gone at home has some effect on poly...

Yeah and every other home team in FCS. Sheesh.

[RideHighMustangs]

nice play poly... nice yds after catch for mole

[RideHighMustangs]

fBS update: usc 31 nd 0; ore 51 orst somewhere in the 30s

[gbhmt]

Just wanted to know about familiarity w/ one another and history between the two if there was any.

From what I know it's just been a handful of meetings over the last few years.

[GATA]

You might be confusing terms. Just because you are an inside receiver does not mean you are "covered". Being a "covered" receiver does not make you an ineligible receiver.

I see. I figure I had that rule screwed up. I was under the impression that only the end man on the line of scrimmage was eligible to catch a pass so only the two guys on the end and anybody who is off of the line of scrimmage would be eligible.

It looks to me like both of Cal Poly's receivers are on the line so I thought that only the guy on the outside would be eligible to catch a pass.

[malibudude]

You might be confusing terms. Just because you are an inside receiver does not mean you are "covered". Being a "covered" receiver does not make you an ineligible receiver.

The inside guy is a blocker. difficult to pick up for the secondary.

[phoenixphanatic21]

I've been watching the game for 20 minutes and have already seen two HUGE drops by Cal Poly. Missed opportunities will kill ya. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt them.

[RideHighMustangs]

HORSE COLLAR 15 YDS

[SLOSTYLE]

haha video cut to gardner kicking practice fg's, he almost tripped

[malibudude]

Horse collar

[RideHighMustangs]

haha video cut to gardner kicking practice fg's, he almost tripped

poor gardiner

[grizband]

You might be confusing terms. Just because you are an inside receiver does not mean you are "covered". Being a "covered" receiver does not make you an ineligible receiver.
I don't know how the college rules differ, but in high school, covered receivers are not eligible to receive a pass.

[gbhmt]

Isn't horse collar NFL-only?

[malibudude]

TD poly. pat next?

[phoenixphanatic21]

TD Cal Poly

[RideHighMustangs]

HALL POWER RUN INTO THE ENDZONE

TOUCHDOWN POLY!

[GATA]

I don't know how the college rules differ, but in high school, covered receivers are not eligible to receive a pass.

Yeah. I just looked on Wikipedia (such a "reliable" source).

That inside receiver for Cal Poly can't catch a pass, but the tackle on the other side can...They shouldn't bother covering that inside guy with a DB.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eligible_receiver

[Screamin_Eagle174]

TD poly. pat next?

Poly fans can only pray! xlolx

[phoenixphanatic21]

Isn't horse collar NFL-only?

Not anymore. They have begun to call it in college as well.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Gardner is 3 for 3 on XPs! xbowx xbowx xbowx

[malibudude]

Isn't horse collar NFL-only?

No. Evan Moore from Stanford got brought down against Navy. Hip injury,etc. ended his year, career?

[RideHighMustangs]

Question... time left on the clock? Enough time for weber to score?

[gbhmt]

Question... time left on the clock? Enough time for weber to score?

2:30 to go

[RideHighMustangs]

STOP THE PASS!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Question... time left on the clock? Enough time for weber to score?

After that catch, definitely!

[yosef1969]

It's a damn shame this game isn't on national TV....

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Tim Toone is a savage! 6 catches already for 115 yards!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Little too much sauce on that throw.

[hApPYaPpYFan]

Score??

[Screamin_Eagle174]

1:42 to play in the first half, Weber 3rd and short on the CP 22 yard line?

[Ronbo]

Cameron Higgins has 263 yards passing and Weber has 318 yards.

[malibudude]

If Higgins just keeps throwing it up for grabs, eventually one of those lollipops will/should get picked. They are like 55/45 balls.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

21 All. Weber knocking.

[gbhmt]

Score??

21-21

[RideHighMustangs]

TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK

[gbhmt]

If Higgins just keeps throwing it up for grabs, eventually one of those lollipops will/should get picked. They are like 55/45 balls.

He's not throwing it up for grabs, he's throwing it to outstanding receivers that you can't stop in man coverage.

[RideHighMustangs]

1:06 to go with a weber to

[yosef1969]

TD Weber!
28-21

[RideHighMustangs]

uhhhhhhh nice coverage poly

[I Bleed Purple]

Nice coverage Cal Poly.

[grizband]

How do you leave Toone that open? TD Weber!

[UMass922]

Holy wide-open, Batman!

Again.

[gbhmt]

Tim Toone on his own little island in the endzone for the touchdown.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

And I thought you could get more wide open than Smith was earlier...

TD Weber State. Toone=Savage.

[malibudude]

TD Weber. Why did we call a timeout for that coverage?

[Ronbo]

I think Weber would have beat Wisconsin! xnodx xlolx xlolx

[RideHighMustangs]

1:07 to go in the half, plenty of time for a couple of passes to king ramses or tolver.

that's the great thing about poly... the can score in 1:07

[gbhmt]

And I thought you could get more wide open than Smith was earlier...

TD Weber State. Toone=Savage.

Can I get a link to where you're gettin the stats from?

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I think Weber would have beat Wisconsin! xnodx xlolx xlolx

I don't know, but they're making EWU look like Gods!
