The one thing we all know about Dodge is that he is extremely classy and cares for all of his players from starters down to walk-ons. I would assume a moment silence will occur.

RIP and God Bless the family as they grieve for their young son.

The game tomorrow must seem pretty meaningless to the guys tonight. I know I'm not nearly as excited as I was yesterday. Brings back a lot of memories from when Andrew passed away.

As somebody said earlier...we all die young...some just younger than others. Best wishes to Josh's folks, friends, and teammates.

As a mother that is our worst nightmare, having to bury your child. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I have no kids of my own, but when I mentioned this to my wife, who has 4 from her first marriage (all grown, and all doing well, thank God), she said the same thing. This is such a tragedy for his family and those closest to him. One thing I hope the players can realize is that it's alright to come together in prayer at such times; although I'm not particularly religious, I know that can help.

Ch. 11 news at 10pm had a nice story about Josh. He was to suit up for the UNT game for the first time Saturday and had texted his dad about it earlier. They interviewed some fans at the SLC game tonite where they had a moment of silence for him. Some students there said they would attend the UNT game in his honor. They also interviewed Riley and Coach Dodge, both very classy and Riley said he would dedicate the game to him.

Obviously you don't want it to happen like this but I am thinking if anything the boys are going to go out there and give that extra little effort and dedicate the game to Josh.

I really hope the players can rally tomorrow and win it for Josh.

      Sell Out Next Week?

      I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      I mean I’ve spent lots of time talking about this defense (which I do not love) but there aren’t too many gaps. The scheme accounts for gaps, but relies on excellent linebacker play to go along with excellent safety play. For me, it always comes down to the defensive line. In 2013, we ran a 4-3 base and Flusche et al generated pressure with that front four and it made the whole group very good. The next year with the same base we were leaky. The difference was the line. Reffett had a solid defense with Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall at corner and would bring LB blitzes (to make up for the lack of great line play) and it worked. The next year they struggled as the corners couldn’t man up and the pressure was late. Littell’s defenses post Reffet were awful until he lucked into the Murphy twins and upset top 25 UTSA. Mazin Richards helped him get enough to get to the title game the next year. Last year? Awful line play. This year? Better line play. It’s always about line play no matter how many you put out there. Get pressure on the QB or else you lose.

      What's at stake as Pac-12, Mountain West and American Athletic Conference plan their futures

      Memphis and Tulane are weighing their options of joining the Pac-12 or remaining in the American. Depending on who AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti can acquire, staying in their current conference might be the best option for the Tigers and/or the Green Wave. Pernetti is known to desire UNLV and Air Forcefrom what's left of the Mountain West. If the Falcons and Rebels jump to the AAC instead of the Pac-12 then all the sudden the AAC might look more desirable for Memphis and Tulane to stay put. Both Memphis and Tulane are desired by the Pac-12 for their consistency and recent success in football. Both are essentially top 50 TV markets, but Memphis brings a record of success in basketball and Tulane is attractive because it's in New Orleans. (Don't think that presidents and ADs haven't thought about fun weekends in N'awlins while watching their teams play. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/whats-at-stake-as-pac-12-mountain-west-and-american-athletic-conference-plan-their-futures/amp/

      Great Week 4 Uniform Video

      Never was a fan of the script, but I’ve got to admit, we looked GREAT. I like the all green more than I realized as well.
