Montana leads 21-14 early in the 4th and has the ball.

[SeattleGriz]

That was a weak personal foul call on ISU.

About as bad as the one they called on us in the first half.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Another PF for ISU..

Griz on the 19.

[appfan2008]

Your 2007 Buchanon award winner...Corey Lynch!!!!

There i fix it for you

[DuckDuckGriz]

That was a weak personal foul call on ISU.

About as bad as the one they called on us in the first half.

The BSC refs have been way to flag-happy on both sides. It is really taking away from the game.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Bergquist runs it for a first down inside the 10 of ISU.

Any updates on Bagley?

[MaroonMafia]

1st and Goal!!!

[Mountain Panther]

Montana leads 21-14 early in the 4th and has the ball.

Is lex playing?

[appfan2008]

with all these pf's it sounds as though the refs are losing control of the game to me

[DuckDuckGriz]

Is lex playing?

Nope. Thomas Brooks Fletcher and Greg Coleman filling in for him today. Coleman is doing very well.

[DuckDuckGriz]

with all these pf's it sounds as though the refs are losing control of the game to me

A BSC ref will throw a flag if you so much as look at him the wrong way.

[DuckDuckGriz]

3rd & Goal on the 12....

Bergquist incomplete in the endzone...

Woulda liked 6 there.

[MaroonMafia]

I think everyone should know by now never to count NDSU out. They are definetly good at coming back and turning it around.

2nd & 11 for Montana 8:00 left.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Bergquist misfires on 3rd down - Griz punt.

ISU takes over at their own 31.

[Grizalltheway]

the west coast may be setting itself up with 3 teams if cal poly can keep it going along with um and ewu

I assumed it would be either ewu or poly, but not both.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Penalty on Idaho State for an illegal block.

[GreatAppSt]

Since you started posting that it's been all Griz.

Stick around. :D

8:48 4th
Griz 24
ISU 14

Montana has the ball

Was this game ever in doubt?xsmiley_wix

[GRZZ]

I know, broken record but...run, run, pass. After getting ten yards on first and 20 we run again and get only two because it was pretty obvious that we were going to run again, then throw it on third and long.

[SeattleGriz]

EWU 52
NAU 17

1:37 left in 3rd.

[DuckDuckGriz]

ISU has a ball at their own 1 -- Barnett out near the 20 for a first down.

[MaroonMafia]

Another Sack!!!

[DuckDuckGriz]

Hill SACKED.

[MaroonMafia]

3rd & 22

[SeattleGriz]

I know, broken record but...run, run, pass. After getting ten yards on first and 20 we run again and get only two because it was pretty obvious that we were going to run again, then throw it on third and long.

I say this every weekend, but I HAVE to hope the coaching staff calls the offense vanilla, so they can open it up for the playoffs.

I hope.

[MaroonMafia]

4th down, just about had a safety.

[MaroonMafia]

Mariani with a nice return!

[DuckDuckGriz]

ISU going to punt it away

UM 24
ISU 14

5:00 4th

Mariani gets the ball down to the ISU 33 on the return...

[MaroonMafia]

1st & 10 from the ISU 33

[Peems]

Let's get one more TD

[GRZZ]

Throw it to the endzone, TRY AND PUT THEM AWAY!

[mvemjsunpx]

Just run the clock, that's all we need to do.

[DuckDuckGriz]

3rd down here....Come on this stalling is ridiculous!

[MaroonMafia]

50 yd field goal coming...

[DuckDuckGriz]

Bergquist throws a smart incompletion on 3rd down.

FG attempt coming from 50 yards away...This could be the nail in the coffin.

[MaroonMafia]

flag-offsides

[DuckDuckGriz]

FG is no good but on offsides on ISU.

[SeattleGriz]

Just run the clock, that's all we need to do.


I agree, but how about running plays to try and get a first down. Try to go east west on running aint cuttin it.

[MaroonMafia]

wouldn't this FG tie the record for Dan?

[MaroonMafia]

Good!

[DuckDuckGriz]

KICK IS GOOD

27-14 Griz lead

[Peems]

Ahh Dan Carpenter the most consistent and humbling Griz of all...

[GRZZ]

I agree, but how about running plays to try and get a first down. Try to go east west on running aint cuttin it.


Amen

[DuckDuckGriz]

Carpenter has tied Snyder with 70 FGs for the UM record.

[MaroonMafia]

We quietly have almost 400 yards of offense in this game, not too bad.

[DuckDuckGriz]

ISU with the ball at their own 42.

[MaroonMafia]

Time for a pick

[mvemjsunpx]

We'll let ISU run it all they want now.

[MaroonMafia]

MONTANA - GRIZZLIES

[DuckDuckGriz]

MONTANA....

[DuckDuckGriz]

1st & 10 ISU to the UM 45.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Hill SACKED...

KROY BUCHANAN AGAIN

[MaroonMafia]

Another sack for Biermann, damn he's good.

[mvemjsunpx]

Jeezus, how many sacks do we have in the 2nd. half?

[MaroonMafia]

Biermann just missed another one

[DuckDuckGriz]

2:29 4th
UM 27
ISU 14

[MaroonMafia]

Jeezus, how many sacks do we have in the 2nd. half?

Add another to the total!

[DuckDuckGriz]

Hill sacked again xlolx

[Peems]

The Griz are pinning their ears back and are sacking ISU every other play.

[mvemjsunpx]

Palmer comes in for Biermann & gets the sack.

[DuckDuckGriz]

4th & 31 for ISU.

Hill runs short of the 1st down.

Griz take over.

[DuckDuckGriz]

10 straight Big Sky titles. 14 in the last 15 years. That is amazing.

[MaroonMafia]

As much as everyone likes to question our coaching, our second half adjustments have been outstanding recently!

[biobengal]

A couple of stats that jumped out at me:

ISU 11 penalties for 117 yards
Hill 8 rushes for -41 yards
Berquist 13 completions for 283 yards

[DuckDuckGriz]

A couple of stats that jumped out at me:

ISU 11 penalties for 117 yards
Hill 8 rushes for -41 yards
Berquist 13 completions for 283 yards

The BSC refs were way too hanky-happy today.

[mvemjsunpx]

Greg Coleman gets the first down & clinches it.
Coleman ran very well today.

Gurnsey just said that "it doesn't matter who coaches Idaho State, they're always the cheapest team in the league."

[MaroonMafia]

A couple of stats that jumped out at me:

ISU 11 penalties for 117 yards
Hill 8 rushes for -41 yards
Berquist 13 completions for 283 yards

Definitely not a pretty game for anyone...

[Peems]

A couple of stats that jumped out at me:

ISU 11 penalties for 117 yards
Hill 8 rushes for -41 yards
Berquist 13 completions for 283 yards

Most of those negative rush yards came at the end of the game here, as UM knew that ISU would be passing every down and continued to sack Hill.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Greg Coleman gets the first down & clinches it.
Coleman ran very well today.

Gurnsey just said that "it doesn't matter who coaches Idaho State, they're always the cheapest team in the league."

I have consistently felt the same way and many other have but oh well

ISU played very well today. If Hill had a better O-Line he'd be picking us apart.

[MaroonMafia]

Have a good evening everyone, it's been fun! This one's in the bag!

[DuckDuckGriz]

This was a good time. 10-0!! Woo hoo!!

Good game ISU.

[Grizo406]

This was a good time. 10-0!! Woo hoo!!



Big props to ISU for playing tough, but this was a VERY EXPENSIVE win for us!

Bagley is done for the Grizxbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx.

I would have taken a loss to the Bengals a lot better that I'll take the loss of #3!!xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx xbawlingx

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

Here are a few random thoughts I have about todays game. I liked the arena, it was nice to take my kids too with it being indoors. I think the refs should have had their penalty flags tied around their sacks so they would be more reluctant to throw the laundry around like they did. The Griz D did a lot of bend but don't break, which tends to drive me crazy. I think The Griz O needs to stop being so conservative, mix it up a bit please! The griz fans were out in force and we made some noise today for sure. There were some hellacious punts today, the kicking games on both sides were rockin, lots of touchbacks and great punts. All in all I think the Griz found a way to win, I guess they just like to drive me crazy sometimes in doing it :D

[putter]

Props to the Griz D as the offense only ran 15 plays in the first half. ISU ran the play clock to under 2 on every play to run the clock which gave them a huge TOP advantage. Made me sick to watch Bagley and his wrist! Flashback to Ferriter last year but now the Griz lose their big time possession receiver. We will need someone to step up to take his place and the Cats will be fired up!

[RE/MAXGriz]

All bets are off for the next game, Griz/Cat is a battle regardless the record.

The loss of Bagley today for the Griz was REAL bad (watching the injury as well). Bags is the one the on field and off field leaders of this team, his diving catch against EWU helped spark this team for the rest of the season, so far. Now they're going to have to go without him the rest of the way.

I'm not sure what you thought was so conservative about the offense today. The Griz threw several long passes & averaged well over 10 yards per pass attempt.

[uofmman1122]

After losing Bagley and having Cole fumble it out of the endzone, I got a real sick feeling in my stomach that I hadn't had since UMASS last year. The win kind of made it all better, but I seriously felt robbed when I saw his arm snap, and I can't even imagine how he must feel. :(

It really hurt to see him as he was leaving the field. One of the greatest guys I've ever seen play.

Congrats to the Griz on another win, but this time it feels a little hollow. :(

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

I'm not sure what you thought was so conservative about the offense today. The Griz threw several long passes & averaged well over 10 yards per pass attempt.

I was going from pure memory, not looking at any stats. From what I remember of the game, there were about 3-4 long passes, the rest were runs on 1st and 2nd down, short pass on 3rd down. Very predictable, very conservative. The only screen play I even remember wasn't supoosed to be one, I think it just looked that way. I guess I would just like to see them be a little less predictable on offense. You could guess from the down and formation, what the play was going to be, but those are just my observations from watching it in the stands. You don't always get the same pictur on TV and there was no replay in the stands.
