Big Sky Preview - October 23

[EWURanger]

Sac State might win if the game were in Sacremento, but it'd be tough to win that one on the road

2006 Sac 21, EWU 20 (Cheney)
2007 EWU 38, Sac 30 (Sac)
2008 Sac 15, EWU 13 (Cheney)
2009 EWU 56, Sac 30 (Sac)

Kinda looks to me like it's the other way around, Gater.

Sac's never beat EWU in Sacramento.......but seeing as this game's in Cheney, that means nothing so it would seem. We seem to have a hard time beating them in Cheney for whatever reason. Then again, we also had a 7 game winning streak over MSU that was broken this year, and we hadn't beaten Montana at home since 2002, so maybe this is the year that all the streaks go out the window.

1. I hate to say it, but I think the Kitties are going to come out p!$$ed. This will be a blowout and will probably be the nail in the coffin for Downing.

2. NAU is due for their annual swoon. I can't see them beating the Griz.

The nail in Downing's coffin was 2 weeks ago in Sacramento.

For UNC’s fans sake I sure hope so. The close loss against EWU and a few wins down the stretch could change…hell who am I kidding. Any AD with half a brain and half a spine will get rid of this guy when his contract expires.

How much longer has Downing have on his contract? And i agree, the fact that he is still around does bewilder me. The Bears may have improved in terms of talent but still cannot win games (except occasional win against the Bengals). Its time for this guy to go.

Sac State 24-35 EWU — Odd stat: all 4 of Sac's wins against EWU came in Cheney.

Portland St. 27-31 Weber — Weber's underrated running game bails out Higgins.

NAU 20-23 Montana — Herrick must now deal with one of the nation's best pass defenses.

NoCo 17-34 Montana St. — Can the Bobcats avoid a 2004-esque collapse?

Based on last weekend's 34-7 performance against Montana State, I am not sure this year that anyone should be counting on the traditional late season Lumberjack meltdown!

I don't think NAU will collapse. They'll lose in Missoula, but they're strong favorites to win their last 4 and that'll be enough to get in the playoffs.

Last year the Jacks looked awesome against the Griz, then lost their last 4. The year before they had a great run going, then lost the last 4. After the Griz game this weekend, they will have 4 games left. Still could happen.

I am hoping they blew their wad

I expect a close game with the griz winning a tight one. I will be in the house for this one

I also expect all the home teams to win this week.
