Lulay didn't win that game (14-25 for 154, 1 Int); he just didn't lose it like Edwards did (8-32 for 106, 1 Int). Credit had to go to the MSU D. 10-7.bpcats wrote:Lulay was a freshman once too. He did alright that game. I admit is hard to hear hand signals that they get from the sideline.
I am sure the crowd will be a factor a cause a few penalties. It is going to be a good game.

Cats don't play well on the road, this is a true statement.
Turnovers/bad defense have been the key to road struggles:
At WSU: 3 picks.
At Sac: defense decided to stop playing at halftime for whatever reason.
At NAU: well I just can't explain this one. 123 of total offense is lower than many of our single quarters this year.
At ISU: 4 fumbles.
The Cats better clean up the fumbles that have plagued them the last few weeks.

Not as hard to envision as MSU winning only their second game in Missoula since 1985.big_meowski wrote:

More pressure on MSU: win they are BSC co-champs and have the autobid and possible seed; lose, they are third in the pecking order of BSC playoff teams. It's possible for UM to make the top 20 with a loss; have you forgotten when MSU got a home game, let alone top 16, with 7-4 in 2006 after getting beaten by UM?

Check your record against teams with winning records this year. We haven't looked great on the road, but this team finds ways to win. Sound familier??grizcountry420 wrote:The only two wins the Cats have on the Road came from Overtime wins. The other two road games ended up as loss.canyoncat wrote:

Re: Montana State does not play well on the Road
It does sound familar but our backs are pinned up against th wall. I don't think a Cat can keep a Grizzly pinned up long enough to win a game on the road.canyoncat wrote:

It's like any other remodel.

That's why you walk into some older people houses and see some Avocado appliances there. It was considered fashionable and cutting edge at one point but even when the gimmick is over you stick with it because it feels like home I guess. Plus like I said, it's a vacation home.

Fletcher has befriended another first-year Patriot, running back Danny Woodhead. Their paths crossed once in college during Fletcher's redshirt freshman season at MSU.
It was in 2006, the week after the Bobcats upset Colorado, when Woodhead's Division II Chadron State team came to Bozeman and defeated the ‘Cats 35-24. Woodhead, a junior, ran for 215 yards that day and finished his college career with an all-divisions record of 7,871 yards.
Woodhead, all 5-foot-8 of him, is now the Patriots' second leading rusher.
"Danny's my really good buddy out here," Fletcher said. "Ever since he got here, we started giving each other crap about him beating us. Every day, he'll bring it up somehow. I'll throw ‘short' jokes at him every now and then to get even. That's about all I got."

He is a top quality individual, from a top quality family. Great to hear.

Roos field...the avocado appliance of football surfaces.

You may not have seen the UND game cat. That was flat out the opposite of a Fred Astaire out there and it wasn't because he was in danger of anything except of course the danger of not being able to master your own two feet.catbob wrote:Tripping, falling down to avoid contact.
