NAU @ UM

[catbob]

Griz 14 NAU 10

Griz moving the ball now, but had been having trouble.

[catbob]

Murietta is off, but credit the UM defense for pressuring him and the CBs for some coverage sacks.

[catbob]

Half, 17-10 Griz.

[griz8791]

catbob, do you have a TV video signal or are you listening to it by radio? I've had no video since the beginning of the second quarter.

[catbob]

I have TV... it went out for like a minute but they got it back.

Also I think people are getting the game free via bigskytv.org.

[PantherRob82]

Suprised by this score so far. Would expect to see UM roll in the 2nd half.

[catbob]

UM blocked a punt deep in NAU territory, first and goal, same score.

[catbob]

TD Griz.

[dbackjon]

Dang - come on Jacks!

[catbob]

FG Jacks, 24-13 Griz.

[Jacks76]

NAU's playing well defensively, but on offense they can't seem to do anything positive.

Paul

[catbob]

Griz fumble following kickoff, NAU ball, on the 27.

[PantherRob82]

might be a game yet...was wondering where all the Griz posters were...realized it's a home game.

[Jacks76]

Wow!

Paul

[Jacks76]

TD Jacks!

Paul

[catbob]

TD NAU. 24-20, Jacks score 10 points in 2 minutes.

[PantherRob82]

Griz D needs to step up. Would be another big upset if UM loses.

[catbob]

Scratch that, Jacks go for two... got it.

24-21.

[Jacks76]

2 point conversion good! 24-21!

Paul

[TheBisonator]

UNH lost already. If the Griz lose, we might move up to the top-5 this week!!!

[catbob]

Huge 3rd down for the Griz... sacked.

[Jacks76]

Great defensive stand by NAU! 3 and out!

Paul

[Jacks76]

First down NAU!

Paul

[PantherRob82]

UNH loses, SIU down...already 2 Top 10 losses today

[Jacks76]

Quick kick????

Paul

[catbob]

After a 9 yard loss, 3rd and 18 on their own 15, Murietta quick-kicks it and it was a very nice punt, 55 yard.

[catbob]

Another 3 and out by the Griz.

[catbob]

Wow what a great spot the Griz got, 4th and about an inch... I think they are going.

[catbob]

QB keeper up the middle, stuffed, but Swogger bounced out and got about 3 yards.

[Jacks76]

4th down conversion good.

Paul

[Jacks76]

Good run by UM...first down at NAU's 36.

Paul

[Jacks76]

Gain of 3...3rd and 5 at the NAU 31.

Paul

[Jacks76]

First down UM.

Paul

[Jacks76]

This could be it for NAU.

Paul

[catbob]

If the Griz get this first down, its over... short, 4th and 2 on the NAU 12.

[Jacks76]

UM stopped on 3rd down...timeout NAU. Griz at the NAU 12 yard line.

1:18 left.

Paul

[Jacks76]

UM going for it.

Paul

[catbob]

Griz going for it, 4th and 3... stuffed.

[Jacks76]

UM stuffed! NAU ball!

Paul

[catbob]

Murietta is insane.

[catbob]

NAU isn't playing like their is only 40 seconds left... taking their time.

[Jacks76]

4th down...here we go.

Paul

[catbob]

Incomplete on 4th down, game over, Griz win 24-21.

[Jacks76]

Ball game...UM 24, NAU 21

Paul

[slostang]

Sounds like a great game. UM will move to #2.

[Tod]

Ball game...UM 24, NAU 21

Paul

WHEW! What a game! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

[Jacks76]

NAU did their best...I think they can win the rest of the way playing like that.

Paul

[AppGuy04]

Sounds like a great game. UM will move to #2.

Wouldn't count on that with the way Illinois St played today

[Tod]

Wouldn't count on that with the way Illinois St played today

True, but I wouldn't count on being #1 with the way ISU played today and the way ASU played today. :smiley_wi

[Jacks76]

What a shame. NAU could win the rest of their games and still not make the playoffs because they lost by 3 to UM and by 7 to Montana State. Too bad they scheduled those two I-A games or they would probably make the playoffs.

Paul

I know. :( :(

[Jacks76]

Yeah, but look at Portland State. They scheduled *3* I-A games this year!

Are Division I-AA teams really that desperate for a check?

Paul

[Tod]

Paul

I think that's the biggest part of it, second is a hope for more recognition, third is scheduling desperation. I wish we had more I-AA teams in the area to schedule, particularly from weaker conferences, but we just don't.

NDSU!!!!!
SDSU!!!!!
UC Davis!!!!!
Cal Poly!!!!!

We few to fricking Iowa, for Christ's sake, why not play UNI instead if Iowa?

I'd MUCH rather see THAT game (or any of the above) on a rotating home/home schedule than watching us get our asses handed to us by Oregon and Iowa, et. al., every year.

How much would UNI pay for that? How much recognition for that? Again, see my list.

OK, fourth, top teams don't want to be knocked down early in the season to another I-AA team. :rolleyes:

How about San Diego? Also, you missed SUU.

[Jackluv]

saw the NAU UM game on tv....wow...NAU ran the ball well today but couldnt get much of a passing game in and stiiiilll was in the game till the end. If NAU plays like this, they will win out the rest of the conference....

PRAY FOR MSU and UM to falll !!!

Holding NAU to around 200 yards total Offense and fumbling deep in our territory. I give the game ball to our D. Offense struggled badly today but beating a good team that had 2 weeks to prepare for you is a good victory.

They did a great job of preparing for the noise! :nod:

They had a little trouble with it but Murietta did some excellent impersonations of Houdini throughout the game today!

[Jackluv]

Murietta does a good job representing the Big Sky in the Walter Payton section lol

Problem for you is UM would have to fall twice, and then we'd own the tie breaker....
