UC Davis @ Southern Utah Game Thread

[BlueGoldAg]

Tied 7-7 with 8:15 to go in the 1st...SUU going for it an 4th and inches at the Aggie 6.
SUU offense is rolling....

[BlueGoldAg]

TD SUU...14-7 SUU with 5 minutes to go in the 1st....Aggie D has no answer to the powerful SUU attack....

[BlueGoldAg]

Denham fumbles the snap and SUU has it at the Aggie and just completed a 27 yard strike to the Aggie 2...

[BlueGoldAg]

TD SUU...with 3:13 left in the 1st it is 21-7 SUU...the wheels are starting to come off the cart for the Ags...I guess it has been snowing also...

[BlueGoldAg]

21-7 SUU at the end of the 1st...SUU is schooling the Ags at the moment...

[AggieFinn]

So far, the Thunderbirds have come out fired up. They're up 21-7 early...LOTS of scoring, early turnover from Davis on a muffed snap from Hernandez to Denham...having issues with that left hand?

2nd Qtr. coming...

[BlueGoldAg]

Denham is not sharp for the Ags...only 2 of 6 and a fumble lost...he had 13 stitches in his left hand last week week's game with Portland State...might be having trouble with handling the snaps...

[BlueGoldAg]

TD Aggies...Denham to TE Bispo who has 6 catches for 6 TD's this year....21-14 with 13 minutes to go in the 2nd...Aggies surprised SUU by running the Wildcat formation using a DB running the ball during that drive...

[AggieFinn]

Brought in FS Nick Aprile to run the Wildcat offense in place of the healing Sean Maraz...21-14 in the 2nd quarter...TD to TE Brad Bispo.

[BlueGoldAg]

The Aggie D needs a stop....this game could become a shootout...

[BlueGoldAg]

Finally...Aggie D gets a 3 and out....

[BlueGoldAg]

Aggies driving...Cutshaw 38 yard run to the SUU 8...Ags now on the SUU 5...2nd and goal...

[BlueGoldAg]

TD UCD...DB Nick Aprile 5 yard run from the wildcat formation...21-21 tie with 8:41 to go in the 2nd...we've got a shootout...this game will probably be decided by defensive stops and turnovers the way it is going...

[AggieFinn]

Wild Horses baby! TD Ags! 21 Up!

[GoAgs72]

We have a running game!

[BlueGoldAg]

SUU moving again...1st and 10 Thunderbirds at the Aggie 20 after a PI call....

[GoAgs72]

28-21 SUU. Poots is pretty good.

[BlueGoldAg]

TD SUU...Cooper to Poots...SUU up 28-21 with 7 minutes to go in the 2nd...the shootout continues...

[BlueGoldAg]

28-21 SUU. Poots is pretty good.

Yeah....Poots and the Ags' Carter will get a chance to play in the NFL...

[NC Aggie]

Difference has been SUU has to go about 2/3 of the distance the Ags have to due to kicking game/field position.

[BlueGoldAg]

SUU just scored on a punt return...great run by Shetake...35-21 with 4:23 to go in the 2nd...wow...SUU is having their way with the Aggies...impressive!!!

[GoAgs72]

SUU 35 Aggies 21
I'm thinking we will see Heyworth at QB today.

[BlueGoldAg]

SUU 35 Aggies 21
I'm thinking we will see Heyworth at QB today.

I hope so...Greg doesn't seem to be himself today...really misfiring...

[AggieFinn]

We need a long drive before half.

[BlueGoldAg]

Denham fumbles again...SUU offense coming on the field again...Aggies are really looking terrible...

[GoAgs72]

We better get some defense soon or this game will be out of reach.

[BlueGoldAg]

SUU has a 2nd and goal with less than a minute in the half...

[BlueGoldAg]

TD SUU...42-21 SUU with 26 seconds...Aggies are embarrassing themselves...I can already hear the flames starting to roar from the AGS family....

[GoAgs72]

Well, we hope UC Davis is the same second half team as last week. The first half has been pathetic. SUU 42, UC Davis 21.

[ucdtim17]

Glad I didn't waste any energy arguing why we deserve to be ranked or why we deserve a playoff spot if we run the table

[BlueGoldAg]

The Aggies are getting trounced....I'm getting my flame-retardant suit out again...just getting prepared guys....

[BlueGoldAg]

Glad I didn't waste any energy arguing why we deserve to be ranked or why we deserve a playoff spot if we run the table

The team that walked into Cedar City today deserved ranking consideration. Nothing they had done prior to this half of football would have predicted this kind of a half of football...the team that just went to the locker room doesn't deserve anything but a butt chewing...just awful... period...sad for Aggie footballxbawlingx

[slostang]

I am feeling better about Cal Poly holding the T-Birds to 23 points. SUU has a very good offense. Poots is a beast at WR and the QB makes great reads and throws. SUU also has a fairly good running game, something they really did not have last year.

[GoAgs72]

ucdtim17 - I wasn't promoting the Aggies for the playoffs - just a ranking in the bottom of the top 25. I will vote for SUU if they end up winning this.

No telling what Aggie team you might be playing when you come to town next week...at this rate, just bring your 2nd team and you'll be fine...xrotatehx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Score/Time?

[GoAgs72]

Half time - SUU 42, UC Davis 21.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Half time - SUU 42, UC Davis 21.

Damn! Should make for an interesting game in two weeks!

[BlueGoldAg]

Damn! Should make for an interesting game in two weeks!

SUU is the real deal, but at 3-4 they don't get much respect in the FCS...they are an offensive powerhouse...

[slostang]

They did from this poster.

[BlueGoldAg]

They did from this poster.

They did from me also, I posted in the Aggie ranking thread that has been so controversial, that I felt the game would be close or the Ags could get beat by a bunch...looks like a BIG BUNCH...embarrassing...

[BlueGoldAg]

TD SUU...48-21...early in the 3rd...this game was over at the half...now it is just a matter of how bad the Ags will get beat...

[BlueGoldAg]

Aggies finally make a stop and then the SUU punter pins the Ags at their own 3...not much else for SUU to do any better...they are really impressive and the Ags are nowhere to be found today...

[BlueGoldAg]

No sign of life in the Aggies...they obviously didn't come to play today...

[BlueGoldAg]

49-21 at the start of the 4th quarter....all SUU today...

[AggieFinn]

Interception Mike Morales...setting up short field for the Ags...4th quarter now.

[BlueGoldAg]

Well what do ya know...the Ags force a turnover and score from another wildcat formation play...it's only 49-28 now...(tongue in cheek...)

[GoAgs72]

Aggies are finally starting to play but it would take a miracle to come back. 49-28 in the 4th. Aggies marching down the field.

[GoAgs72]

TD Aggies with 5:05 left 49-35 SUU

[BlueGoldAg]

TD Aggies...with 5 minutes to go in the 4th it is 49-35 SUU

[BlueGoldAg]

The first half was one of the worst in Aggie history...probably too little too late...but the game isn't over yet...

[BlueGoldAg]

4:09 to go and the Ags take over on their own 21...

[AggieRX]

Why we didn't go into hurry mode sooner?

[AggieRX]

INT game over

[BlueGoldAg]

Denham just threw a pick that SUU took to the house...55-35 with a couple of minutes left...

[GoAgs72]

End of game - SUU TD on INT return. Worst performance of Greg Denham's career at QB. Two fumbles and an INT. 56-35 SUU. Another fumble - SUU has it. D*mn! Fumble ruled down.

[BlueGoldAg]

Worst game of Denham's career....

[BlueGoldAg]

Fumble overruled..Aggies keep the ball...but who cares....

[MaximumBobcat]

This is why UC-Davis wasn't in my top 25. i wanted to see them get past SUU and CP first.

[GoAgs72]

It will now be our duty to beat Cal Poly and make sure no West Coast teams make the playoffs and complete the wishes of the East Coast Bias.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE beat CP, so EWU can go to the playoffs! :D

[malibudude]

Yep, thanks for that. Tough game for the Aggies. Glad you showed the new formation this week.

[BlueGoldAg]

Man, don't hold your breath or you'll pass out...unfortunately, this team probably can't help you...

[GoAgs72]

Okay, will some of you at least vote for SUU at the bottom of the top 25 in the AGS poll?

[BlueGoldAg]

Game over...56-35 SUU...SUU should be a top 25 team...the Aggies don't deserve to be on the radar...only thing left for the Aggies is to play the spoiler role against Poly and hopefully to avoid humiliation against Sac State...

[WestCoastAggie]

The ball is now in Cal Poly's court for an At-Large berth. I believe that win for SUU is their best win of the season. I am not sure if this will get them into the top 25 polls but they will definitely rise in the computer rankings.

[SoCalAg]

SUU is on par with the best FCS teams we've played this year....yes that includes Montana. They deserved to be ranked...that offense is lethal

[AggieRX]

Good game SUU, good luck the rest of the year.

[Grizzaholic]

SUU!

[TBIRDSFN10]

SUU is the real deal! The team has really came a long way! Way to fight Aggies!

[Grizzaholic]

Been touting them for the past 2 years...in their third year they are finally turning some heads!

[BlueGoldAg]

Best of luck to the Thunderbirds for the rest of the season. I hope you win out and sneak into the playoffs, you just might turn some heads there as well.

Sorry we helped you get the attention though...xrolleyesx

[BlueGoldAg]

Best of luck to the T-birds. I hope you win out and sneak into the playoffs. You just might surprise some folks there if you get in. The GWFC is a free-for-all, but you guys are definitely the cream of the conference this year.

Sorry we helped you get to this point though...xrolleyesx

Not arguing their worth, but how did they lose to NAU and Cal Poly then? Utah state trucked them.

[TBIRDSFN10]

Every team has bad games..In the NAU game their defense did not play well and they only lost by 3..in the Cal poly game their offense didn't play well and they only lost by 1

Utah St just had a close game with Fresno St. 27-31, by the way they scored just as many points on Utah st. as did Utah(ranked in FBS) and BYU (ranked FBS). Another game where our defense didn't play well. Just so happened we ended up on the wrong side.

Just goes to show you how good they are even when they play bad. An no matter how bad you think Utah St. is they are still an FBS team.

Weren't ALL those games on the road too? Lost some close ones on the road that 2 years ago would've been blowouts...SUU is better, Cooper and Poots are for real.

[TBIRDSFN10]

Yes all of them were on the road....when people come to cedar city they have all been blowouts.

[Green Laser]

The true test will be when Eastern Washington comes to Cedar City 11/14, By the way great win over davis!!!!!!!

[TBIRDSFN10]

Thanks! You as well vs NAU!! It will be a good game.
