Montana State does not play well on the Road

Post by grizcountry420 »

So i was looking at Montana States road record and it isn't very good. Its going to be pretty tough for them to go into Washington Griz Stadium and come out with a win. I don't see it happening. McGhee will have a tough time with the noise. It will be the most hostile crowd hes ever played in front of. The Grizzlies have their backs against the wall in a must win game. I just think there are too many obstacles in the way for the Cats to come out with a win on the road.

WSU L 22-23
SAC W OT 64-61
NAU L 7-34
ISU W OT 23-20
UM ??????

I am not worried about DM or the noise in this game. I worry about us holding on to the ball.

I dont think DM can manage the noise. Look at the outcome of the NAU game. It was noisy in that dome and it affected the Cats offense.

It all comes down to if the friz can stop the run AND pass. So far this year I don't think you have stopped both in the same game. The cats couldn't stop the middle pass all year, but have taken any running game away from most teams. Can the friz keep up scoring wise to hang w/ the CATS if they are rolling?

P.S. DM played in front of 30-40K in Dallas stadium in his Junior and I think senior years of College.

The Griz D plays well but the OC likes to call stupid dumba$$ plays where the offense goes 3 and out a lot. You end up seeing the Griz D out on the field more than the offense. I also don't see the Cats coming into WSG and rolling up the score.

I'll agree the Bobcats haven't been stellar on the road but at the same time the Griz haven't been blowing everybody out at home either.

And the griz played well anywhere? If you watch McGhee's poise with the loudness at Wazzu, you'll know he won't have much of a problem at Missoula.

I am going to predict at least 3 deep throws on 3rd and short for us. :ohno: :thumbdown:

Its gonna be a great game but i think Montana has more on the line than Montana St. Montana will come out with a narrow win at home. I just don't hope that Montana State losses right of the bat in the playoffs, since every other team that has played Montana the week before has lost their next game.
