Johnny, you just don’t stop. You’re like a little child always trying to have the last word. You said I must not have watched the games and I told you that I was a season ticket holder and went to every game. You put it in my face that I must be better than you because I have season tickets, I’m pompous, and you’re not going to back down. Grow up. The bottom line is you’re kissing his A$$ just like Gilmore the announcer. Of course Gilmore would gush over him, like you, on tv. Did you think Gilmore would say Mayden throws too many picks? Mayden missed many open receivers this year. Matthews & Shavers made circus catches this year from poor passes. He ran out of bounds in the Fresno game with a few minutes left in it when we were trying to run the clock out, not smart. 2 INT in that game, 1 was a horrible head scratcher. We won despite of his poor game against Nevada, he Stunk against Air Force. Tonight he missed open receivers, should have had 4 INT (one dropped), and took 2 back to back sacks w/o throwing the ball away & we didn’t have any time outs left. You must not have been watching any games this year. 12 TD’S 10 INT against MWC teams. You can vote him in your Heisman Trophy ballot next year. In the mean time, schedule your optometry appointment and wipe the Brown crust off your nose. Go Aztecs Too funny, you'll want to stick with Gilmore as the only announcer who has brought up how well he's done, but it's been EVERY announcer in every game since he's taken over. So there's that. Lol. Most everybody who has responded in the threads since he's taken over has been amazed at how well he's done since transferring back to offense from safety, of all places, except you and your boy "Fowl." Lol. Did Mayden snake your girlfriend from you or something? You give him zero credit, and act as if he's dissed you like a high schooler. Grab a tissue and wipe the tears away already. Sheesh. And, because of your obvious bias against him, you're only going to bring up the bad times, and not all the many good things he's accomplished. Give people credit when deserved and stop acting like someone who's been dissed, already. Sheesh. There's waaay too many good things he's done to name, but most everybody here gets it except you and your buddy "Fowl." Not surprised. Did you expect him to be great every game? Yes you did, because you're biased, obviously. He did not perform well yesterday or against AF, but some bad moments were going to happen considering his situation. He hasn't played in quite a while which is something you do not want to recognize and you gloss over, as well as his running ability. or you don't have the ability to. Against Fresno he was a part of every touchdown with either his legs or arm. We were in the game because of him. Let's also not talk about him being MWC Player Of The Week against SJSU. That will ruin your bias. You be you, and people can judge for themselves what comes out of your mouth. I say you have to be biased for not giving him any credit, and /or not knowledgeable at all. I say you're obviously both based on your complete analysis of Mayden. Not shocked. Mod's Note - Personal attacks/retaliation deleted. Let's not go there. |

YOU were the one accusing him of not watching a game. He told you he went to every home game in person and watched every road game on tv. Then because you can’t argue facts, you gaslight him by saying again he’s pompous for answering your question if he had ever watched a game. Then you say “you show your lack of knowledge by only going to the interception stat for an accuracy assessment.” That right there shows how you have no idea what you are talking about. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STAT FOR A QB. Honestly you’ve been a pathetic poster ever since you complained about your kid the QB not getting recruited by SDSU. You’re making excuses like “he was thrown to the wolves with a bad oline and performed remarkably” (lol) and then turn around and tout his completion percentage for the year as 65% which shows your ignorance because his season completion percentage was 59% which is pedestrian - particularly when 4.2% of his passes were caught by the other team. Who was the last SDSU qb to have an int ratio greater than 4%? This is all true Except Mayden didn't get a spring or fall camp to practice QB. He didn't throw the football for well over 1 year. He hasn't taken any meaningful QB reps in several seasons prior. He was taking QB4 reps his entire college career before moving to safety. While some of Mayden's INTs are the result of an inaccurate pass, by far the vast majority were timing/route issues that appear like widely inaccurate passes on TV but it's usually a timing issue or Mayden just making a bad read. Meaning most of his INTs this year could be cleaned up with actual camps and QB1 reps, increasing his command of the offense without actually improving his accuracy. The guy is a senior and he's literally never had even a single college camp as a QB in contention for the starting job. And then he didn't even play QB the entire season before being asked to play it after the 5th game. I don't know if many of you realize what an amazing job he did this season because of this. I'm not saying Mayden is gonna be great after actually getting two full camps as QB1. But, he didn't even have the arm strength this year to throw all the passes because he didn't literally throw a football for well over a year. Especially, deep balls. I'm holding out on judgement on Mayden until next season. I beg to differ on a lot of what he said in his post, which I've already refuted, it's not all true. But, I understand what you're getting at and you're absolutely right on about the assessment of Mayden, and all he was up against. I concur to that. Let's hope Mayden continues to improve and guide us to a great season next year. |

We lost the game because we couldn’t run the ball. The play of the OL was not good enough all season Going forward that is my biggest concern both for coaching and the quality of our players.Plus needing to replace entire DL Hard to see how there won’t be a drop in DL play. Being young is most problematic up front. Some hope for OL improvement if it’s not a coaching problem. 2023 looks to me most likely to be a “rebuilding “ year and a regression for the program. At least by then we'll know if we are regressing in the MWC or, hopefully, in some other conference. |

at best a bhaaaaah season. weak coaching (how many times do you run your smallest back into the d line time after time), how many stupid penalties at critical moments, melt downs with a lead---snatching failure from the jaws of victory, no QB, altho' Mayden showed signs of excellence, but also signs of why he was playing DB at the beginning the year. (Last 2 games are a good example), weak OL, etc. players mostly gave 100%. problem was their 100% was equal to their opponents 80%. next year needs to start with a major coaching change. call this (another) rebuilding year. coaches must learn that insanity (dumb s#!+) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. QB's play arm band supposedly had 200 plays----160 were variations of run up the middle. 120 were hand offs to #15. next year, at least 10 wins.

Was just checking out the box score for the Hawaii Bowl... Aztec running backs...16 rushes for 2 yards. Let's give it to Byrd one more time up the middle. |

Didn’t our President De La Traitor already fire Monty? The SDSU Clown Show goes all the way to the top. Very lame post Why? Did she or did she not get rid of the Aztec Warrior? She did although no one - NO ONE - was calling to do so, that it was offensive or racist. I get you were probably offended, but you’d be in a massive minority. Especially on here. |

I missed watching the game live and purposely did not look at the score so I could watch it tonight...for some reason. Yuk.
What a terrible game plan on the O - hardly a surprise seeing as Horton is our OC. Mayden is not the answer at QB and we'll waste next year with him if he is given the QB job. Not sure Hoke is the answer either, but I expect we'll take a couple of more years of the slow downward spiral before he is replaced.

Have you checked out our Goaztecs.com roster of running backs? There seems to be an overabundance of underclass smurfs. Why can't we sign a couple of 220+lb power backs? Look what that beefy AFA back did to us. Such backs can at least power their way for 4 or 5 yards even with a mediocre line. If we're going to end up with Byrd2.0 then whoever the OC is better know how the offense can function without a running game. Sad. |

I also understand he hasn't had the practice or experience. I just don't see "it" in him. But yes, the coaching staff leaves an awful lot to be desired. |

Frosh Avinger is listed at 6' 1" and 210lbs. Armstead should have been the starter all season with 20-25 carries/game. He averaged 6.0 ypc. Next best rb was Bell at 4.4 ypc. That's a 36% differential between Armstead and the next best rb. But, no they "ground n pound" with a kid LISTED as 170lbs and who is probably 160lbs. Use Christon as the change of pace guy on short passes in space. |

I've never been an OC, but what I do know is if your RB is averaging 55.5 yards per reception after 2, you keep going to that player until it stops working
