Idaho State @ Montana Game Thread

[SeattleGriz]

Figured I would just watch the game, but the coverage is the usual crap...so, here come just the high points.

Griz receive kickoff and march down field with some really nice wrinkles on offense, like having Reynolds AND Kemp (converted QB) in the back field, some Wildcat and 4 wides.

Lose the ball when the TE catches and tries to turn and run for TD before fully having ball and Idaho State defender steals it right out of his hands.

Idaho State runs 5 plays and punts.

Griz run 4 plays and then kick a 49 yd FG

Pitch to Reynolds and he promptly throws it back to Roper the QB for a TD Griz.

While we all know ISU is not good this year, this sort of game has been interesting so far to see all the weapons the Griz have. At one point, they had Roper (starting QB), Kemp (converted QB - now RB) and Larson (converted QB now WR) on the field.

[SeattleGriz]

Idaho State punts from deep in end zone and Peter Nguyen busts it up the middle only to be tackled by the punter at the 20.

Next play, Justin Roper fumbles ball. ISU with ball on 15.

[SeattleGriz]

Erik Stoll with his 2nd pick of the game and returns it to the Griz 33.

ISU QB didn't see him because he threw it right to Stoll. I could've intercepted that one.

[SeattleGriz]

NICE! Jordan Johnson, the true freshman in for the Griz.

Griz running Reynolds in the hopes of making him the #1 TD leader in Griz history. One more rush TD and he will have 54.

Thanks Jalmond.

No worries on the hijack. The internet coverage has been awful. There is plenty of opportunity to check out the PSU/MSU game. I have been doing it since the Griz game started.

[SeattleGriz]

ISU starts the 2nd half with a 3 and out.

Griz with 6 yd (?) return.

Griz start on 17.

Griz in I formation and Chase Reynolds gets his TD record with 54 in his career.

Another really nice 12 play drive by Idaho State. They look so much better when they have their injury riddled veteran QB Hill in the game.

Carry on, SeaGriz (and thanks).

[SeattleGriz]

Very interesting to see how well the TE's are contributing to the Griz offense. So many good WR's, it has left the TE's very open all game.

[SeattleGriz]

So far, great passing, crappy run blocking.

[SeattleGriz]

A lot of Montana back ups in the game since the start of the 2nd half.

[SeattleGriz]

#1 QB in, but the Griz offense, while moving, still looks disjointed.
