If you think Agnew is bad you should see the four QBs behind him, two FBS offers among them.

Why would a quality Div-1 QB want to come to a team that emphasizes a running offense? 

I think Wyoming has the same problem with QBs and WRs.  Why come play for a ball control run centered offense.  Do you think Long and Bohl will ever change their stance on that?

Nope.  The are old and stuck in their ways.

Good game Aggies.  Don’t embarrass the conference at LSU.

LSU is ridiculous.  Losing to them by any score won't be an embarrassment.

Well SJSU beat Arkansas so anything is possible.

I get your opinion.  But there is a difference between LSU and Arkansas.  Obviously, I want USU to win.  But LSU is talented enough where pretty much any loss I would not call an embarrassment.  If they keep it within 10, I will be very happy

While true, Arkansas and LSU are worlds apart.  LSU looks to be pretty elite this year.  

No one in this conference can hang with the elite teams of college football most days.  It would take an extremely lucky day to beat them.

Great game Aztecs. Feels good to get the SDSU monkey off our backs in Bball and Fball finally. I must say I was shocked to see Byrd return! Not often you see a player leave the field on a cart and then return to play.

It was so frustrating to watch the Aggie O move up and down the field pretty well and then settle for FG after FG. I know SUDS D had a say in that but we really did not execute very well in the redzone all night. Thank goodness for Jaylen Warren, dude is a beast with incredible balance and strength. It seemed like it took 4-5 guys to bring him down all night. He is sort of like Darwin Thompson in that way. In fact, it's sort of ironic that after Thompson left early to the NFL we went after Warren to replace him. Had Darwin stayed I'm not sure we get Warren.

Didn't Bohl strike it rich with Josh Allen?  We've yet to sign a QB recruit like him.

This games was one of the two losses I predicted this season. The other one is going to be interesting. I just hope it’s not against Hawaii or Fresno. Anyone else, and we will be fine.

[Rev McQuervo]

See above. We got beat, no excuses and like "Hood" I didn't expect a W on Saturday.

Now Fresburg, lol, what did we say about the "Great HC Guru" at the start of the year? "We will see how good he really is"

I'd be ecstatic if they keep it within 10.  I had LSU as my natl champ this year and they are steamrolling everyone.  I'll be happy with anything less than 21.  Just rather not see a 49-6 score.

Based upon what I have seen from Coach Rocky Long lately, I am more than happy to stick with Coach Tedford.

I really cant wait to see that new spread offense HC Long was talking about.

So when do you think the team will be rolling it out this year?  LOL

I'm surprised myself. Your offense seems like somethings missing.

And that something is an innovative OC and assistant coaches who don't overlook a talent like Jordan Love who attended HS only a half-day drive north of SDSU's campus. In all seriousness, SDSU quarterback recruiting during the Rocky Long era has got to be among the most inept in the country.

They did well with him but he only had 1 other FBS offer and that was after Wyoming offered.  Great find, but how often can a coach replicate that?  You need talent to consistently win at the FBS level.

It seems like SDSU cloned their basketball program for their football team - tough, hardnose defense that is damn hard to score on, old school coaching, and generally a lack of offensive firepower. I always expect games against Rocky Long's SDSU teams (and Steve Fisher before he retired) to be slugfests. Some of the problems mentioned in this thread for SDSU football is because Rocky refuses to change, but given his results it's hard to fault him. 

I'm glad USU got out of there with a win. Agnew ended each half with plays that I'm sure each SDSU fan wants to burn from their minds forever: A 35 yard hail mary duck when he needed to go 50+ and a 4th and 10 where he lost 40 yards almost had me feeling bad for you guys.

I did not think the Aggies had it in them. I'll now accept they are for real. I'm not sure how good SDSU really is, but still a good, if not great, conference win on the road. 

Who are you? and what did you do with Bob?

I thought this was the game for USU to get exposed as the phonies that you are. You almost proved me right, but gutted it out. Now please beat CSU by 50 

Thanks. I’m almost willing to forgive you for violating my dog. 

[steveem]

If we have another year like last year Rocky will retire. What he and Hoke did do was prove you can win at SDSU. If he does stay he will likely purge many of the offensive staff. Or he might move Horton back to RB Coach fire his special teams coach maybe the QB coach. and bring in a new OC.

Seems it's quite similar to our win at UCLA. Maybe neither USU's opponent nor ours is great this year but it's always tough to get a monkey off your back.

But I can't see USU giving Boise too much trouble. The Aggies had four opportunities for TDs in SDSU's red zone when they came away with just three FGs thereby keeping the game close. They aren't going to get away with that lack of offensive production against a team with an offense as good as Boise's.
