About to kick off. Monte just ran out on the field dancing around.

Me missing my first Griz home game since 1999.

Washington tries to keep it for 14 yards -- gets nothing.

Montana to punt.

FYI on the Griz Vision before the game they flashed up Weber State's Head Coach Ron McBride quote, something about Washington-Grizzly Stadium being nothing as far as intimidating. Sounds loud in Missoula today.

Wildcats punting.....

Tuff Harris big return for the Griz almost to Weber territory.

GRIZ RECOVER... AND WIN....



MONTANA WINS 24-19...IMPROVES TO 3-1 AND 1-0 IN THE BSC.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Griz dodge a HUGE bullet. Blown drives by Montana to blame for being so close. Bad coaching and time management by Weber blamed for the loss.

[Tod]

Griz were outplayed offensively by WSU, no doubt. That was a lucky win. But we'll take it. Weber is better than thought, as some have pointed out before the game. whew!!!

:) :) :) :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

[DuckDuckGriz]

It sounds like the UM offsense hasn't improved by much....I have a feeling each conference game will be like this. I am hoping not.

[DuckDuckGriz]

The crowd of over 23,700 was Montana's second largest.

[GOKATS]

griz are going to lose at ISU, no doubt in my mind.

[Tod]

griz are going to lose at ISU, no doubt in my mind.

It'll be a tough game. Too bad the 'Cats are on the road to Weber, a better team than most thought. Weber 28-24.

[nevadagriz]

Ok thanks Kat we appreciate that maybe we will just forfeit and save money on the game. If I have your logic correct if a team gives the cats a good game then the griz will most certainly loose?? Cool thanks I had other things to do next weekend. ;)
Good game this week bobcats this year is going to be crazy in the "sky". Teams better damn well win all their home games cause road games will be tough.

PS DO NOT overlook weber or you could be in trouble.

[GOKATS]

It'll be a tough game. Too bad the 'Cats are on the road to Weber, a better team than most thought. Weber 28-24.

'Cats wil kick Webers butt. At home.

[Tod]

'Cats wil kick Webers butt. At home.

Well, then better tell the 'Cats to update their website, it says the game is at Weber State. Or are you talking about next year already? :rolleyes:

[DuckDuckGriz]

Wow. Weber's team last year has nothing on this year.

And MSU had to beat them with a last second FG last year. ;) In Bozo.

Game is in Ogden this year champ.

[DuckDuckGriz]

griz are going to lose at ISU, no doubt in my mind.

I guess that's why we base our talk on results. Not expectations. Get to the playoffs or something and you will too.

[GOKATS]

Well, then better tell the 'Cats to update their website, it says the game is at Weber State. Or are you talking about next year already? :rolleyes:

Obviously, I knew it was at their home!

:mad: :bang: :bang: :bang: :spank:

[grizbeer]

Griz are going to lose at ISU, no doubt in my mind.I think you are probably right GoKats. I don't think it will matter much this year, I see a 3 way tie for the BSC with 3 teams @ 2 losses. Griz will probably lose @ ISU and maybe @ MSU, but still play at home in the playoffs.

[Tod]

Obviously, I knew it was at their home!

:mad: :bang: :bang: :bang: :spank:

Better work on your communications skills, then.

[X-Factor]

NDSU's 41-0 thrashing is looking better and better.

[grizbeer]

NDSU's 41-0 thrashing is looking better and better.Everyone around me kept asking how could NDSU have beat this team 41-0, all having watched the NDSU - MSU game. Not taking anything away from MSU or NDSU, I think the truth is a combination of AGS, and Weber State is a team that has improved immensely and will continue to improve. McBride is a good coach, and won't let Weber accept that it is pre-ordained that they are losers. If McBride can stick with the team for a couple years I can see them making the playoffs in a couple years, and playing spoiler for a couple teams this year.

[VictorG]

Griz do not have a QB that fit's our offense......Unless we find a "new" QB' we will not be in the playoffs...................FACT!

[grizband]

The problem I see is that we don't seem to know what type of offense we run. We have one of the top running backs in the nation, yet we run most of our plays out of the spread offense. We don't have a quarterback who has yet proven he can throw for 300 yards and 3 tds a game, or receivers who can go for 100 yards (other than Talmage). To me our offense resembles the square peg-round hole quandry. Would we be better served running a two back set with a down TE every play, and throwing abotu 40% of the time? We have seen what Lex can do when given the opportunity. I think we should make the situation as ideal as possible for him.

Actually Ochs last year didn't go for over 300 yards passing that often. Only 3 games he had 300 yards or more passing (Hofstra, Sac State and JMU) One thing the Griz lack (in my opinion) is speed at WR this year. We really miss Hancock, Segars and Heidelberger. Bergquist and JW are facing a lot of situations where the WRs just aren't open. And no, a WR on the other side of the field, away from where the QB is running doesn't count as a open WR :P I'm pretty worried with JW hurt as bad as it sounds.. I really hope Bergquist is ready, and I do have confidence he will be a good QB for the Griz. Its just a lot of pressure to be putting on a freshman out there. One thing us Griz fans have to remember when looking at both Washington and Bergquist, even Ochs didn't start out with the Griz shredding every defense. I think both of these guys will end up being good QBs for the Griz..the Griz offense this year is just off to a slow start.

As was said on egriz.com earlier by a person who knows a few of the players, some of the players were starting to see some good things out of JW, and then he gets hurt :( I have to agree with them, even if it didn't seem like a huge improvement stat wise, it did to me look like JW was improving and becomming more comfortable in the offense. Lets hope for a speedy recovery, and hope that CB does a good job while JW is recovering.

One final note...I did like that Quinton Jackson got in a couple plays at WR. Troxel, Jackson and Schulte have the speed we need at WR. Jackson completely beat his guy on the first play he was in on..unfortunately it was over thrown :( I hope he gets some more time at WR, so our QBs have some speedy targets to throw to who can make tacklers miss. Please keep in mind I'm not down on Talmage, Bagley or Allen..all 3 of these guys are very talented receivers, its just that with all 3 of them being big possession type receivers, we lack the breakaway speed out there that the sma smaller quick receivers have, so there isn't much threat of one of our receivers juking a guy and taking it all the way..or at least getting a good amount of yardage after the catch. These 3 are definitely good receivers though and I'm sure glad they are Griz :)
