Why even try that? Silly at this point.

That's what MSU thought last year.

And UCA...

And UNI...

Just sayin'.

True, but seriously, USD is not a quality opponent. I'll reserve judgement until I see the Griz play a quality opponent in App.

So why the hell die you lose to them? I'm sure you'll find some way to discredit us if we beat App.

It was a bad loss for us either way, but USD lost a ton off of last year's squad which was very mediocre. Why would I discredit a win against App? They are a quality opponent.

Serious answer: Not only were they a much better team last year (only return 8 starters this year), but I heard from someone who has close ties to the team that we were absolutely emotionally deflated after losing to UW. We were used to winning and fully expected to.

Shit.

McKinney is down.

[uofmman1122]

Wow...What a horrible call.

[uofmman1122]

McKinney's back. Good sign.

[uofmman1122]

Ballgame.

Griz win 35-24, and it wasn't even that close.

Griz rush for well over 300 yards. McKinney 26-32 for 214 yards and 2 TDs.

Apart from one 80-yards TD bomb, and one sustained drive, USD had nothing going.

USD 233 net yards.

Griz ran 98 plays in this one for 568 yards!

I suddenly feel some worries about this season melting away.

I think we're going to have to run more than 4 different plays against ASU to win.

Not if they keep working.

I just wanted to congratulate Montana on pulling the game. Early in the 3rd, it looked like things were going against you, but you turned that around. Good job.

Or have 4 or 5 of those damn sideline passes be returned for TD's going the other ways.

[uofmman1122]

34 first downs was a school record.

If we had gone down field more often, McKinney probably would have had 4 or 5 INTs. Kudos to the coaches for calling plays within his abilities.

I hear d that on the radio. DAMN good for them. I missed did Glenn talk on the radio today? Wondered what he had to say being on the opposite sideline.

Hey you. You just don't be you. Be more like Caa and less like Trip.

So did the Griz. New CB's, a QB who watched the Griz's last home game from the stands. Muffed punt and a blown coverage by a young corner kept USD in it. These things will get shored up throughout the season. This team could have folded when they got down 24-16 but they hung in there and pounded them in the end. Good start for a young team.

Yep, all things said, I think it's a damn fine win.

Great job by Phil Buck & company on the radio postgame show. First they said App State was "upset" by East Carolina, then they claimed that Morgan State upset Sam Houston in quadruple overtime (they actually beat Sacred Heart).

Thank God Root are covering most of our games this year.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Holy crap!!!

34 1st downs.....98 plays and 568 yards....wow!!!

When I saw the score I thought it might have been close but not with those stats.
