Re: SUNDAY NOTEBOOK: Offenses more productive with wind at t
As I read your articles this year it seems to me that this team has embodied a different mantra of years past. They seem to be a little more relaxed, the tone from their quotes is more fun, and yet they seem more respectful to each other and their opponents, more tight-knit and perhaps more determined. Am I reading into this wrong? Fewer "stars" on our team seems like it has made a more enjoyable product to watch. Maybe the expectations are less, so there is not the roller coaster of emotions? Maybe it just feels different to me,... but I like it.

The wind had a huge statistical effect, but the game was never in doubt. UND has a good D, but they caught a break with the wind and Knight, Flotkoetter and Roderick out. Not to mention their coach appeared to be playing to not get beat by a huge score and rather than to win. Normal conditions we get 450-500 yards on these guys and break 40. The grizz will plaster them indoors this week.Colter_Nuanez wrote:Bobcats scored 23 of 29 points in the second quarter with wind at their backs.Read the Full Article on BobcatNation

yeah, Griz are going to DESTROY them next wkd... The Griz Defense vs. the ND Offense, it could get ugly. Wouldn't be surprised if ND is held to less than 100 yards of offense.

Hard to say how good the um defense is. Other than NDSU none of the teams they've played have good offense. All of them have been ball control offenses. I think you can pass on UND. The grizz will play action them to death.mslacatfan wrote:[cat_bracket] wrote:The wind had a huge statistical effect, but the game was never in doubt.

Well, ND might have the worst offense of any team the Griz have played yet... they were garbage. Cats score should have been closer to 40-0.[cat_bracket] wrote:Hard to say how good the um defense is.

I thought the UND defense was actually pretty stout. I will be interested to see if the Griz can score much on them.
Great time to be a BOBCAT!

As did I. I don't think the griz will score as many as people think next week. If ND can keep up this stout D and turn around their offense, they will be a force in the years to come.catatac wrote:I thought the UND defense was actually pretty stout.

griz fans; keeping it classy and gracious in winning since ... well, never.

I think the Griz will score 30+ on UND. I think if our game against UND was played in perfect conditions, with Flot, Roderick and Knight all out there, this game wouldn't have been close. I'm not making excuses, I am saying the circumstances favored UND on Saturday.
I wouldn't be surprised to see UM pitched a shutout, 34-0.

Re: SUNDAY NOTEBOOK: Offenses more productive with wind at t
This will soon probably be moved to the CA page, but it's a great discussion to have. This is the first real benchmark we will have against our great friends to the west. I happen to think the UND defense is the real deal. The swarm as good as anybody I've seen in recent years, their LBs are fantastic, CB #20 is an exceptionally good player, and their pressure scheme is very good. I saw a very gap sound defense that played with fire and tenacity. I think they will confuse and confound the inexperienced grizz OL, and this could easily be another frustrating for JJ. On offense, their LB turned RB seems to be getting better every game, and after losing 4 receivers from last years team, the WR core seems to be greatly improving each game too. From what I understand with the grizz injury situation (particularly if Tonga is out again, but losing McKinley will definitely hurt), this game could be very close. That's my prediction.

Re: SUNDAY NOTEBOOK: Offenses more productive with wind at t
I agree, if not for injuries, weather, mistakes, etc... we really should have put up at least 40 on them. However, I honestly don't think the Griz offense is very good right now. Tons of skill players and potential to be very good, but that O Line is slowing them down IMO. I'm seeing like a 20 to 7 type of game that makes all the Griz fans ticked off.CelticCat wrote:I think the Griz will score 30+ on UND.

Re: SUNDAY NOTEBOOK: Offenses more productive with wind at t
I don't think it'll be a good comparison. Bad weather vs indoors skews things. Missing three key skill players is also a factor.Darth Yoda wrote:This will soon probably be moved to the CA page, but it's a great discussion to have.

I thought UND D played fairly well also. This weekend will be interesting.
