Who will win: Weber or Monana (Part Dos)

[Silenoz]

Yes, Montana's defense is much stronger than Cal Poly's but their offense isn't nearly that of the Mustangs and WSU held them at bay for the most part. If WSU can stay turnover free, and not let penalties kill them (as the maroon and black striped officials in Missoula usually do to away teams) I don't think Montana can overcome Higgins, Smith, Toone and company.

Bergquist is a solid and smart quarterback, and Reynolds is coming on strong, but in the end I don't think the Griz have the depth or the momentum to match WSU's.
Of course, this game could go either way, but I have to go with WSU. It wont be the nailbiter everybody expects.

Weber State 41, Montana 31. xthumbsupx

xlolx

[Gil Dobie]

Mona loses this time xoopsx

[montanafan]

I could care less if you ever root for us, I might consider pulling for you sometime if they get rid of that classless coach you have, but then again, I'm glad you have him there even with his record.



You know you sound very familiar. Are you Wolfman in disguise? xlolx xlolx xlolx

[AZGrizFan]

Grizzies, after watching highlights of both teams, I don't think you have any idea of about what's about to hit you.


That's the way to man-up polecat. Don't be a stranger! xthumbsupx xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

Sorry, I dont play those games, I have one name and it is the same on all boards.

[Peems]

I'm surprised so many folks have picked UM so far. I was one of them, but in reality it seems to me that Weber has all the decided advantages except one, homefield.

[AZGrizFan]

If Montana doesn't commit a turnover, I'll cut off my p....



No I won't. xlolx



Either way, I'd wager money that Montana commits at least one turnover. It's what they do! xthumbsupx

Griz are last in the league in sacks allowed.
Griz are last in the league in FG percentage made.
Griz are last in the league in PAT percentage made.
Griz are last in the league in kickoff return yardage allowed (but then again, being second in the league in scoring, we kick off a LOT)
Griz are last in the league in red zone offense (#TD's as a percentage of opportunites)...again, we get a LOT of opportunities ;)

On the other hand, the Griz have thrown the fewest # of interceptions in the league, and lead the league in turnover margin (as has been pointed out before). We have 18 turnovers total, and 9 of those game in a 2-game stretch of Central Washington and Weber.

There are things that will beat the Griz. Turnovers aren't typically one of them.

The Cal Poly QB only had one interception for the year before they played Weber.

Weber leads in many stats, too, but they don't have anywhere near every advantage (other than homefield).

Turnover Margin

Cal Poly +14
um +11

[apppackdad]

Weber wakes up Sat. morn and realizes they are in the quarterfinals at Wa-Griz. They say a collective" Holy Sh*% what are we doing here." By the time they come to their senses UM has a 21 point lead. Weber rallies, but loses 35-31.

It's unfortunate that regionalization forces this rematch when it does, but that's life. Eitherway, they're both quarterfinalists. Weber took a close one at home back in October, and that's how I see the rematch playing out: the home team winning a close one. Montana goes back to the Semis

[Native]

i think it's bull**** they're even on the same side of the bracket. anyone else?

Yeah but what the heck? There are injustices far more grave in the world. All we gotta do is beat Montana. xcoolx

45-28 close xsmhx

[TheValleyRaider]

45-28 close xsmhx

xdohx

Still, a few turnovers here and there (I think I heard Griz fans mention those once or twice ;)) and it's much closer than that

Still taking the home team xpeacex

[CFallsGriz]

I don't understand the "revenge" factor. I don't think the fact that Weber has beaten Montana this year will help determine the outcome. I doubt the Montana plays want to lose less now that they're playing Weber again.

So you're saying the Weebs didn't have revenge on the brain when they played earlier in the season?

That would be contrary to everything I read on the purple people weebl-o- whatever website prior to that game...

Should be a great game.

Bring it on.

[Walkon79]

If Cole plays like he did in the last 2 first halves against successive Bobcats, Weber wins big. I also think Chase might wear down a little after two big games and a ton of carries. He is only a pup at this point in his career.

Secondly, Weber has the balanced attack that the Griz' most recent opponents have not. You shut down Smith and Higgins kills you. You try to shut down Higgins and Vice Versa.

Go Cats!!

(By the way, I wouldn't be rooting for the non-Montanan'a were it not for Booby!!)

[CFallsGriz]

I never made any excuses about how we lost. We got beat by the better team that day.

But now, we have a chance to show you that we're a lot better. I'll go ahead and counter Native's little throwdown with this:

If Montana doesn't commit a turnover, they'll walk away with a win. xpeacex


It's great to finally see Mt. guys on both sides of the mountains lining up to back the Mt. team that's in it.

If the kitty-cats were in it, had beaten UM, I would totally back MSU.

I have to amend my previous post: MOST Mt. guys.

Sorry you don't like BH, but it's not a logical reason by itself to pick against UM. IMO, if you're a real MT. (not UM) football guy, you're pulling for any Mt. team to represent.

I'm implying that it's just as good. Find me a better tandem in FCS than Mariani and Ferriter and I'll leave it at that.

It's not even close to just as good. While Mariani is a great receiver, Montana's receiving corps doesnt even compare to WSU. The only reason WSU's top WR's dont have more TD catches is because their stud running back Trevyn Smith pumps them all in on the ground, not to mention grabbing 7 through the air as well (which Reynolds hasn't done).

MONTANA:
Mariani: 1,058 yds 15 tds
Ferriter: 787 yds 9 tds
Palmer: 249 yds 2 tds
Pfahler: 210 yds 0 tds
Schulte: 176 yds 1 td

WEBER STATE:
Toone: 1,429 yds 7 tds
Nakamura: 716 yds 10 tds
Phillips: 690 yds 6 tds
Smith: 649 yds 7 tds
Eteuati: 490 yds 5 tds

It shouldn't be about how much your quarterback throws to you. Find me a tandem with more touchdowns. You know, that statistic that pertains to the part of the game that matters, that being the score. He can't have a good per game avg because he doesn't get the touches that those guys do. Tim Toone has the exact same average per catch as Mariani. The only difference between them being that Toone gets more throws and Mariani has twice as many touchdowns.

I think TDs for receivers are overrated for this conversation. Toone had more TDs last year and fewer receptions. Would you consider him better last year than this year?

Most touchdowns happen inside the red zone. Thus more receptions for TEs and HBs in the air and dominating TDs running the ball. Mariani has more big play potential, but aside from that, where do you give him an edge. As an extreme example, would you value a guy with 10 receptions and 10 TDs more than a guy with 100 catches and 1 TD and the two teams as a whole has the same number of touchdowns?

[I Bleed Purple]

He has a habit of doing that on his own. Weber just had the offense to make him regret it.

AH HA!!!!!!!!

There's my answer to that question then, just switch Weber with EWU.

Of course I would! Then I know every time I throw him the ball we'll be six points richer!:D

But as for an honest answer, I know that the reason he has all of those touchdowns is because he can make plays out of nothing. You'd be surprised how few of his touchdowns come from inside the red zone. He's known best for his ability to take a quick slant or a screen pass all the way down the field because of how quick he is and how incredibly aware he is of the field around him. The one thing I marvel at him every time he makes a play is that he catches the ball a yard away from an approaching defender and it's like he's already completely changed his direction before he's caught the ball. That kind of quickness and awareness is apparent when you look at his return game. Throw in a pair of immaculate hands and the fastest 40 on the team and I believe you've got an All-American wideout.

[gbhmt]

AH HA!!!!!!!!

Yeah no offense to EWU, but I've never been one to brag about their defense.

Although I will admit, Higgins seems to be less prone to messing up. Bergquist has a little habit, but he generally seems to come through. Now if he could just have another Sac State game...

[gbhmt]

One of these days (meaning probably over xmas break) I'm gonna take the highlight reels from this year and make a Mariani montage.

Edit: Looked it up and five of Mariani's 15 are from inside the red zone.

I could care less if you ever root for us, I might consider pulling for you sometime if they get rid of that classless coach you have, but then again, I'm glad you have him there even with his record.

Absolutely. Get rid of the classless AHOLE and we'll come back. I'm cheering for the Montana boys, just not your Jackass coach, who stoops to calling our All American TE Average, and openingly shows hatred to his rival, ON THE AIR!!

Really, though. The initial statement was find me a better receiving tandem in FCS.

Point well taken! Of course Mariani and Ferriter are an impressive receiving duo. TDs are important, but so are yards per game, receptions per game, yards after catch...

I honestly would not trade Tim Toone for anyone. And I also look at more than just two receivers. xsmiley_wix

...but REALLY though, the initial statement did NOT include the word "receivers," even though your context was clear enough.

Your later statement in another post, about different offensive schemes, is more salient. Mariani and Ferriter can only score touchdowns because the UM offensive scheme places them in a position to do so.

Sometimes very special playmakers like Mariani, Reynolds, Smith, Eteuati, and Toone just make things happen, almost out of thin air, despite the scheme.

[I Bleed Purple]

Maybe you've just joined in recently, but we've been talking about wideouts.

Not to try to join in this line, since you (and me really beginning this tangent yesterday) are talking receiving, not all purpose yards, but are we talking receivers as a position, or all players that receive the ball?

Yeah well we have so much trouble protecting Bergquist that we're putting on two tight ends and two backs so watch over the pocket! So two receivers is all we can manage!:D

But yeah Weber's receiving corps is certainly more balanced, but it's a matter of preference really. Our receivers tend to be used more for breaking out big plays, and when you've got those two, you don't need much else. I think it fits our offense better. Trade the receiving corps on each team and they would fit in differently. To each his own.xpeacex

Question the second, are TDs the only factor into you making that determination about your tandem?

I believe that the two most important receiving statistics are yards per catch and touchdowns.

It's just a matter of playing styles in this case, really. You guys tend to run more quick slants and short routes with more attempts while we tend to use our receivers to hit them where it hurts, and throw in the usual WR screen. So you'll ask, so why would yards per catch matter then if it works against our short passing offense? Because Marc Mariani is the guy that takes that occasional WR screen and quick slant to the house. He gets big yardage out of plays that were meant to chip away at 1st and 10.

xrolleyesx

They said to Cameron, "Hey, Cameron. We suck this year. You could throw it right to us and we won't intercept it. We'll let you sit in the pocket and lob it to us. We won't catch it."





Sorry Screamin', just had to go after the absurdity of this statement.

It's very absurd. Our defense stepped it up more than our offense the second half of the season. Look at the numbers:

Thru the first 5 games, our defense gave up an average of 37.8 points per game and 499 yards. The last 6 games they only gave up 17.6 points per game and 372 yards.

Conversely our offense put up 36.2 pts and 443.2 yards per game thru the first 5, and 23.6 pts and 361.1 yards per game thru the last 6.

Although not excellent, our defense was no swiss cheese the second half of the season. xrulesx

Hauck calling Bostick "average" was classless, since he also tried to recruite him, sounds like sour grapes.

Calling the gang stomping by redshirt freshmen of a student an "altercation" and trying to brush it off after the truth was known was classless.

The beating of the kid by the Griz players was terrible, but what did you expect coach Hauck to do? Rob Ash would have done the same thing, as would any coach. It's not his fault they did it, but it's over and done with.

JD's a mean SOB on the field, and protects his players. If you're referring to him giving an earful to that Cat player who trash talked Reynolds after Reynolds knocked the ***** out of him in the endzone, then maybe your guy should have kept his mouth shut.

In 7 games, and 3 of those he had limited playing time.

It is classless for Hauck who tried to recruit a Bostick and lost that recruiting battle even though his home town is Missoula, to call him "average" on the "Bobby Hauck Show" after Bostick had a season ending injury and had been on track to have a All-Conference possibly All- American season, and had FBS coaches that we played against call him a "legitimate NFL prospect".

And then Hauck comes back the next night on his radio show and calls Bosticks backup a "real good player"

There is very few above average TE's in FCS. They usually go play in the highest level of College football. Saying an FCS TE is average is probably a much truer statement than saying they are above average. xpeacex

Really? Weber and the Ogden justice system is giving Etuati a pass on his "transgressions"- now that is classless!! The police saying they "couldn't find him on his warrants" - classless.

Don't go getting on your high horse pretending that Montana is this terrible place and "Poor Weber" and MSU with how our coach approaches the real Cat/Griz game.

Three or four. Can't remember.

First game missed was NAU. Came back for EWU, so three I think.

[grizbeer]

The weather forecast for Saturday is now freezing rain in the morning, then warming up to regular rain in the afternoon. My feeling is that is bad news for Montana, and goods news for Weber. Thankfully Saturday is still 3 days away so there is an excellent chance the forecast is wrong, but if that holds I have a bad feeling about Saturday.

Freezing rain sucks, rain on top of freezing rain is worse. xbawlingx xbawlingx

[cats2506]

I was at the MSU/WSU game, one of the coldest games I've been to in quite awhile, 20 mile an hour wind, blowing snow and Higgins still was making good passes into it, I was impressed with how they handled the conditions. WSU is a bad weather team.

You are correct. Mr. Purple. Eteuati sat out three games. We didn't miss him at all against NAU. He was a little rusty against EWU, but he did just fiiine at Cal Poly - that last kick return sealed the Mustang's doom.

I have also noticed that our Grizz brethren have not been whining about Eteuati's return. A wise decision indeed. xsmiley_wix

It's very absurd. Our defense stepped it up more than our offense the second half of the season. Look at the numbers:

Thru the first 5 games, our defense gave up an average of 37.8 points per game and 499 yards. The last 6 games they only gave up 17.6 points per game and 372 yards.

Conversely our offense put up 36.2 pts and 443.2 yards per game thru the first 5, and 23.6 pts and 361.1 yards per game thru the last 6.

Although not excellent, our defense was no swiss cheese the second half of the season. xrulesx


Ditto! Didn't look like no Swiss Cheese to me!

Really? Weber and the Ogden justice system is giving Etuati a pass on his "transgressions"- now that is classless!! The police saying they "couldn't find him on his warrants" - classless.

Don't go getting on your high horse pretending that Montana is this terrible place and "Poor Weber" and MSU with how our coach approaches the real Cat/Griz game. Trust me, Ash doesn't show as much passion because he is not from Montana and has yet to really settle into the rivalry - Hauck wears it on his sleeve.

I am amused at the false bravado expressed by these Weber fans who are puffing out their chests because the were able to finally beat Montana for the first time in many years in a rain storm in which Montana uncharacteristically turned the ball over 4 times. The game was played in Ogden.

Down deep inside, they must realize that those 4 turnovers ain't gonna happen again, and they are playing in front of 24,000 lunatic fans who make hearing snap counts and calling audibles nearly impossible.

So, don't start making your reservations to Chatty, Weber dudes. I think you know, but will not admit, that your chances of beating the Grizzlies on Saturday are less than 25%. Oh well, maybe you will beat them next season...... Oh, the game is in Missoula again. We all know that the Webe in Weber means..... Webe losin' to Montana on Saturday.

Deeeeeeeep down inside, I don't think turnovers are required for Weber to beat Montana. Turnovers will be required for Montana to beat Weber.

Montana has a great team and a superb home field advantage. Maybe the Grizz will win. Maybe not. But if the turnovers in the red zone are even, Weber has a better chance of winning. xcoolx

Wait, wait, wait. Hauck is coaching this game, right? According to you, that means he'll lose.

Of course, you'll claim you're upset about his recruits, not his results on the field, which is easily proven a lie, as you've been labeled (quite accurately by me {yes, I'm being that egotistical}) as a stuffy upper class booster who wants championship or bust/coach fired. You've said earlier in the season betwixt your bannings that Weber was the better team. Now you're saying Montana is?

Although maybe I should feel relief, you labeled EWU as the better team and they fell on their face, then us, and we lost to EWU, and now UM.

Re: Turnovers

One of the four was a fourth down tip that fell into the safety's arms that actually hindered Weber's field position. Interesting how that's left out.

Your blatherings are an obvious attempt to convince yourself that your team can win on Saturday. Down deep inside, you realize that Montana rarely loses ANY Big Sky game, that your team caught them on an off-day, in the rain, causing uncharacteristic turnovers, at home, allowing you to beat them. You know that the likelyhood of that happening again is slim and none. Your team will take their medicine, like so many before who have come into Washington/Griz puffing out their chest.

You will disappear after Saturday when the Grizzlies prove once again why they are in a league by themselves in the Big Sky Conference, and the rest are merely pretenders.

This is the SMACK forum right..? xlolx
I don't know who will win - but if the Griz start slow (like they sometimes do)
It'll be 21 - 0 very fast

If the Griz D is locked in early this will (or could) be a good game
I have two predictions...

Griz play a turnover free game and solid D
Montana 31 Weber 24

Griz start slow on D and make some mistakes
Weber 45 Montana 28

As a matter of fact yes I am an MSU alum, as are my two sons (no member of my family going back to the 1800's has ever attended dUMb).

Ego issues, give me a break kid, I was born and raised a Bobcat and I've always hated the griz- it's a great rivalry, deal with it.

Actually I'm not from the new ME generation, I'm from the old MSU generation.

I'm certainly no transplant, but my ancestors were. Dad's side of the family has been in the Gallatin Valley since the 1860's and Mom's side was in the Helmville valley about the same time, so actually we straddled the divide.

I hate the griz, Bobby Hauck hates the Cats! Big deal! Call Bobby and explain to him your thoughts about narcissism.

Today is the day competitive players live for!

A chance to beat Montana TWICE in the same season for the first time in the history of the universe!

A chance to beat Montana AT HOME in the quarterfinals for the first time in the history of the universe!

A chance to advance to the semifinals for the first time in the history of the universe!

So many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for Weber State University!

These are the lads who can do it! xsmiley_wix

THESE ARE THE LADS WHO CAN DO IT! xsmiley_wix

In their enthiusiasm, our Grizz friends have overlooked the improvements, motivations and talent of our own very young team over the two months since the 4th of October.
