Players of the game to me were Duke Scott, Jacarrius Peak, Dante Daniels, Caden Fordham.
Some good stuff from Daniels, and loved the way State used him. State is 4-1 when it runs for 200 yards. Got some nice freebies for CJ off counter action.

Y Cross and Smash Drive
A couple of really common pass plays for State.
Both are pure progression that give the QB a clear starting point regardless of man or zone. Think there is an effort to make the QB more comfortable with post snap rotations via stuff like this.

State busts a tremendous amount of coverage
Last time I was in Vegas, a coworker bought him and I one drink each and the bill was $75.
Recently had a few hours in Las Vegas and was surprised by how NOTHING was cheap. Don't think I'm naive about it. My memory was that Vegas had certain cheap things (hotels, drinks) to get you spending more elsewhere. Couldn't find a <$20 gin and tonic to save my life www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/t...

Frustrating stuff here from CJ and State. Rather obviously going to be hot here. Doesn't seem to have a plan for it. 0 sight adjustments from the WRs. Probably just need to stand in and hit Joly. Not how you process as a hot QB.
