KMAX is a joke. They’ve aired maybe 1/2 the game. Their AV people should be let go. They’ve had 3 hours to figure it out but clearly aren’t up to the task.

Outside of the first three minutes with no audio I missed nothing on ESPN+. So they were producing it out of the truck fine from that point on.
34-6 Hornet win. Total domination against an inferior opponent as the Hornets took care of business and extended the regular season winning streak to 21 games. This game was wrapped up by halftime as the Hornets let off the throttle in the second half.
The Hornet offense took the opening drive 80 yards and never looked back in this one. Kaiden Bennett (14/22, 176 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT, 10 car, 101 yds, 2 TD) had a solid game aside from one bad read. The running backs had a busy night as Marcus Fulcher (12 car, 79 yds, 1 TD), Elijah Tau-Tolliver (7 car, 59 yds), and Ezra Moleni (8 car, 27 yds) pounded away at the TAMU-C defense. Coleman Kuntz (4 rec, 68 yds) led the Hornets in receiving but it was an acrobatic touchdown catch by Chris Miller (1 rec, 16 yds, 1 RD) that made the passing game highlight for the night.
The Hornet defense was equally impressive as they held the Lions to a whooping 206 yards of total offense, much of which came late in the game when it was well in hand. The Hornet secondary kept the Lions to just 72 passing yards as Dillon Juniel had 3 pass break ups in the game. Gavin Davis-Smith (7 tak) led the Hornet in tackling while Cameron Broussard, Brock Mather, and Leke Fashola each had 6. Mather (6 tak, 2 TFL, 1 INT) forced a turnover and the Hornets got a sack on the night. The defense has 2 stops inside the redzone and the only points allowed came after a long interception return by TAMU-C.
Hornet special teams did well covering kick returns with the exception of a 61 yard return by Max Epps. Zach Schreiner (2/2 FG, 4/4 PAT) looked good on place kicks, but both he and Evan Kiely struggled on kickoffs as a couple of them went out of bounds. Cal McGough (3 pnt, 46 ypp) landed all of his punts inside the 20.
Plenty of positives to take into the following week as this team continues to grow. The Hornets were tested late in the 1st half in this one. Following the Lions converting a touchdown off of the interception, the Hornets responded in the final 40 seconds by marching down the field and closing the half out with a field goal. Not only did this show that the Hornets could move the ball quickly when needed, but also that we have a head coach that knows how to use a timeout in the closing phase of a half.
Also great crowd on hand tonight. The west grandstand was near capacity as over 12.3k came to the game tonight. The student section was packed by the opening kick.

Interesting. I started out watching on ESPN+ but switched to YouTubeTV and the KMAX feed once I realized that ESPN was using the KMAX broadcast w/ Jason Ross. The controls are much better on YTTV than ESPN, which is the only reason I switched over.
The mistake I made, apparently, was assuming the ESPN feed would be out since the KMAX feed was out. They’d show commercials, but when the game was supposed to come back on it would just show a KMAX logo with “experiencing difficulties”.
Good to know I can re-watch the + feed to see what I missed.
Here’s hoping the Hornets kick Stanford while their down this upcoming week…...

Good to hear. I was hoping for no less than 10K on the low end and up to 15K on the high end. Landed in the middle, apparently. Not bad considering the opponent, who many probably never heard of before.
My wife and I are planning to attend the next two home games against NAU and Montana State. Hopefully the attendance continues to climb.

Jason Ross on the TV side said there were a handful of guys sitting for “precautionary” reasons (probably COVID or minor injuries :roll: )
Here’s to hoping the squad is 100% healthy with an open playbook against Stanford in 6 days. Glad we called off the dogs in the 4th Quarter, saw lots of 2s and 3s getting substantial time!

Solid W. Kaiden B really showed his leadership in the game. He has really developed well. I still hope to see they have special things ready for Stanford. We might not have as much time in the pocket,.
Hoping KB can have some good “roll out” plays to buy himself more time. Few Screen Plays and maybe a Flea Flicker? A Camp to Bennett at WR toss make Stanford Defense have to worry about being burned by a deep ball.
Stanford got lit up by USC. I doubt they will be taking us lightly. I think they will bring
for TT this coming weekend.
