I'm guessing the 'ol "Were you recruited by Towson?!" rally cry won't work this week...

Towson shouldn't be taken lightly. Their starting lineup is nearly all seniors. Have a lot of transfers. In fact their running back did more at Georgia Tech than Johnson when they were teammates.
A little known fact, Towson beat Eastern Illinois in the playoffs the year Garoppolo and Eastern Illinois beat the Aztecs.
I am hoping the Aztecs play to their ability.

Good thing it’s Towson as we need to absorb some injuries on defense this week. Look for some backups to start at LB and CB. We’ll survive.

Well, the Towsen coach doesn't see anything special coming at his team. If he was a betting man he'd take NDSU over SDSU.
By the way, SDSU in 1-0 against NDSU But it's a really big 1 in Aztec history.

I didn't see anything in the interview to be butt-hurt over. He was still quite complimentary of the Aztecs. You may question how wise it is to say you'd bet on the team you just played, over the team you're about to play, but it's still not controversial enough to be remotely bulletin board material. He was pumping up a fellow FCS program, that by all rights should be pumped. They've been that dominant in their division. I'd love to play them (though I'm sure Coach Hoke wouldn't) just to see the result.

Think North Dakota State used to be one of the top teams in their division - so games similar to this one are big - also the trip out to CA So do agree it is a need to win game for the Aztecs - lose this game and the wins over the PAC schools sure get dimmed Not used to be, they still are. They have won many Championships in the past few years. They just run over other teams because they play together so well. Even Hoke said at his news conference this week that North Dakota St. is one team he doesn't want to play, ever. I was only providing this info just to enlighten people about Towson, but I still believe if our Aztecs play their game well we should win. Just like most coaches say, you never take anyone for granted no matter what their record is.

Thanks for posting that. It was great reading and reliving that game. The Nate Johns field goal kick was the ugliest I've ever seen. It wasn't a dying duck. That duck was dead before he kicked it. Yet, it somehow found it's way over the cross bar bu inches.
So many memories of that game.

So far, 10 minutes in, this thing's got bad juju written all over it...

Blocked punt returned for TD. The type of ST plays you need to carry out a win when there's a bit of malaise.
These special teams are getting reminiscent of Beamer's late 90s VaTech squads.
Really impressive.
