NDSU at Montana - Game Thread

[Gil Dobie]

Why would you try an make excuses for NDSU, no NDSU fans are making excuses, just reporting an injury.

You should swing by eGriz...

Well Banker Boy, we were not discussing eGriz or Bisonville at the time.

I took it as he was bragging up how tough Wentz was to continue playing with the injury, against the vaunting Griz defense. Specifically Holmes was on his azz all day.

All I have left to say about this game is I hope JSO and BDK enjoyed watching a finesse, hurry up team beat a smash-mouth, 3 yards and a cloud of dust one.

NDSU wins 6 of 10 at Wash Griz. 8.5 of 10 neutral site. 10 of 10 in Fargo.

Also most. If I was a betting man I would say 6, 7, and 8 out of 10.

Do know one thing, if they meet up again in the playoffs will likely be again at Montana. I don't see NDSU ending up wit a better record than Montana.If they both end up with the same record (10-1 or 9-2) Griz would be seeded ahead based on head to head.

I did enjoy the game but let me know when a finesse, hurry up team wins four national titles in a row.

You also have to avoid getting carried away. One thing I thought of in the aftermath is how happy I felt when, at a time when Appalachian State was looked at as kind of the top FCS program of the period, McNeese went on the road and beat the Mountaineers in an early season game at Boone. Then at the end of the season when it really counted they got blown out at home by New Hampshire in the first round of the playoffs. Meanwhile Appalachian State got to the semifinals before losing a nail biter at Montana.

There's a LONG way to go.

Yep. And look who's won every I-A title. They've been either pro style, and/or traditional smashmouth, or some type of run heavy.

Yep. I game doesn't make a season. I agree with D1B..now I feel dirty...

Nobody said it does. But when you beat the 4 time champs in the first game with a new coach, system, and QB, there's cause for optimism.

And like Cleets said, claiming NDSU would win x out of 10 games is nothing more than conjecture at this point.

Not if the brain farts of the HC continue ...

1st and 10 at NDSU 30
King Frazier run for 3 yds to the NDkSt 33

2nd and 7 at NDSU 33
Carson Wentz pass incomplete

3rd and 7 at NDSU 33
Carson Wentz pass incomplete to Rj Urzendowski

Good job taking time off the clock and burning those Griz time-outs

No shit and not to mention the Griz fans just had to endure 3 years of a really average coach and system. I finally feel we have a real coach back at the helm.

Which is how I would have taken it too if he'd gotten his facts straight.

[Grizalltheway]

Their defense did not have a poor game schematically, but the athleticism and size we have at WR led to a lot of big plays. The rest of the teams we face will have to deal with that same athleticism and size, and good luck with that.

See how that works?

So those receivers are the key? Ok.

They played very conservative on D, IMO.

Okay, here's a good write up on the subject.

Not for as long as we'd like, I fear.

And?

The guy is a genius. He created the unbeatable scheme. He should be coaching the Patriots.

ATTENTION...all FCS schools...resistance is futile! Lay down your pads and bow to the almighty Griz offense. You cannot win.

...if you root or play for Northern Iowa.

I just got here and saw D1Peeface was posting in here so went right to his post. How is the rest of the thread going?

Pretty well, unless you played for and/or root for UNI.

This ain't about any other team, other than no one can beat the Griz, including FBS and NFL.

Shitt cracked the code.

Read the article. Author prettying giving the Super Bowl win to the Griz.

I'd probably favor NDSU over Poly. Slightly. At home.

[D1B]

Me too.

Griz offense - just another scheme, like I said. They had the advantage of unveiling it against NDSU.

NDSU beats em by 17 if the game was played on week 2.

And CP had the advantage of scheming for the Griz for 5 weeks. The Griz had one. Every team from here on out has one. We shall see...

Lame excuse. How was poly supposed to scheme against the grizzlies when they never seen their offense before the NDSU game?
