Good new for my T-Birds however is that we get Idaho State and Weber State the next two games which we should win. Also with Montana State and NAU on the scheudule think we have a good shot at winning all of these games but need to win at least 3 to hopefully get into the playoffs.
SUU's defense played really hard forcing those two TO's in the first half and stopping us from scoring several times in the red zone. SUU's problem was their offense couldn't move the ball consistently. I was pretty impressed with that QB you guys put in the game in the 4th quarter. Dude was running all over the place!

The Idaho State game may be more difficult than you realize... games against common opponents suggest this is no gimme. Of course, ISU hasn't won a Big Sky road game since W. was in office.

CP at UM---The Grizzlies are back home after their beatdown of the upstart UC-Davis team last week. The Mustangs put away Weber State at home. Do the Mustangs have the firepower to pull off the upset against the Grizzlies...UM 31, CP 24.
ISU at NAU---The Bengals finally broke through and got a conference win at home against Northern Colorado. Now they head out on the road to play the Lumberjacks who were in a thriller against Sacramento State. This one, however, should be no problem...NAU 34, ISU 17.
MSU at WSU---The Bobcats are coming off a bye and hope to have some healthy bodies ready to play. The Wildcats are struggling, but they are playing at home and hope to have a shot at a win at the end. Maybe a bit close, but the Bobcats should pull it out...MSU 28, WSU 14.
Sac State at UND---The Hornets are looking for anything good after a strange season. Last week they had the game get away in the last minutes against Northern Arizona. The former Sioux actually looked better for the first three quarters against Eastern Washington. Can they finish this one?...UND 31, Sac State 28.
SUU at EWU---The Thunderbirds have their defense to thank for their win last week against Portland State. The offense has taken the last two games off, and need to rise up for a shot at a win against the Eagles. The Eagles finally put away a pesky North Dakota team. This shouldn't be any problem...EWU 38, SUU 22.
UCD at UNC---The Aggies surprise season took a wrong turn last week against Montana. The Bears strange season took a bad turn at Idaho State. Both teams want this game, but who wants it more...UCD 18, UNC 14.
I do much better when PSU isn't playing. 5-1 this week, only blemish is I seem to think North Dakota is better than they are. 46-22 for the year.

Not to mention riavlry games (Weber/SUU) are always tough, I seem to remember a winless Weber team going into Cedar City last year and upsetting SUU, now in no way am I saying Weber is going to win, but stranger things have happened in rivalry games.
