I think your point is that Nova has a great defense?....point taken. I agree they do or they wouldn't be 13-1. The record proves out what you say. But, having followed griz football closely for nearly 20 years I never looked at the CAA as near the power house as the southern conferences. I have watched the Griz lose to CAA teams but I never felt like they were beaten, i.e. had the Griz been playing to potential they would have won. Sour grapes? Maybe. On the other hand I have seen the Griz beaten by some of the teams from the Southern conference's. I am ready for a great game and hope that no one gets hurt. All of these boys, Nova & Griz, are winners and I admire them for that. GO GRIZ!! Hey Josh. I think your point is that Nova has a great defense?….point taken.

When two great defenses play each other both teams usually look pretty bad. I think Montana's offensive balance wins the day but I don't expect a cake walk. Now Alabama and Texas; that's a different deal altogether - the Tide by 14.

I won't take away from Montana or their great performance thus far in the playoffs. They are clearly a very good team and are able to play on a level with the best in the country. PLEASE don't compare western and central conferences with the CAA. THERE IS NO COMPARISON! Montana has lost two NC's to teams that finished THIRD in the CAA this decade. The CAA is deep and strong year after year. SD State had an epic meltdown (Montana also played possesed) and SFA had TEN turnovers - hard to compare with the way that Nova has played this year. I respect the program that Montana has built and that Monatana could compete and be successful in the CAA. There are few others. Thanks for the link and for completely avoiding my point.

If you want to see something inspiring go to the MT Griz homepage http://www.montanagrizzlies.com/football.htm and watch the highlights of the SFA game. The SD state highlights are gone (Youtube maybe). These boys can light it up! I would guess that SD State or SFA could hold their own with, if not beat Nova. When the Griz woke up neither team was in the same league. They just flat smoked-em. They were tight and conservative against APPY. (which is smart). If these boys are fired up.... (watch the highlights!).....well, I said it before. GO GRIZ!! Josh! If you want to see something inspiring go to the MT Griz homepage http://www.montanagrizzlies.com/football.htm

I wasn't saying you guys didn't play good teams (obvious playoff contenders), I was simply stating that Montana will face its first elite defense on Friday. Can't wait!!

They looked fairly weak when I watched the W&M vs Nova semifinals. I spoke with others who agreed that they seemed to be lacking any spark. They obviously have some or they wouldn't be here. As far as "what defenses has the griz faced?" Every team in the Big Sky comes out gunning for the Griz, a couple of these teams (besides the Griz) are darn good teams i.e. Weber, Eastern Wash. & NAU are dynamic and dangerous teams and they play their best against the Griz. I was surprised to see Weber get drummed out by W&M and yes I know...Nova beat W&M. Three more days and the talking is over. OK, so maybe Nova won’t be a pushover.

You sure called the Griz vs Mountaineer game. What is your call for the championship game. I expect a good game and will root for the home team Griz as always. Rob are you a fortune teller.
