WSU over um
Barron can get the ball out fast when needed, receivers wont have the drops they did with us. WSU D has good secondary, they will shut down the pass game and the front will stop um run attempts.

UI over SAC
UI's QB is completing passes at 71% on the season, he is accurate and can escape the pocket and get to the chains on his feet, they have 2 good receivers and 3 backs that run hard. On defense they are physical and will punch SAC in the mouth and take over the game. the only question is if they run Scatebo 30+ times they can maybe win, but I think they will hold him back some in preparation for WSU.

Note: I really hope that SAC can win, its best for us since I think WSU will beat SAC and we need UI to have a loss.
Don't count on it. I heard more than one report leading up to the MSU-Weber game that their receiving corps has had trouble holding on to the ball all season. Proved to be true last Saturday, though the wet conditions didn't help.
Not only that, but I don’t think Barron can handle UM’s blitz. It’s a bad combo, then throw in Weber’s vanilla run game. I can only see Weber winning if it’s defense shuts UM’s offense down.
If SAC's OL and QB can handle the 3-3-5 blitz-o-rama I think WSU's OL and Barron can, they are better at both positions. Barron has improved a bunch since last year, he is getting the ball out quick and making better decisions. I know WSU's receivers have had a few drops this year but generally it hasn't been as bad as it was against us, I think the rain hurt them.

I'm probably biased though, WSU has been my second favorite BSC team since the days of coach Mac.
One thing’s for sure: we’re going to find out. Should be good. Tuning in to see how the Weber LS does. That’s worth the price of admission right there.
I can tell you already. It's like clockwork. He'll play just fine. Won't even notice him. Griz will lose on the road. Then for the next year we'll hear from griz fans how much better they are than us because we only beat Weber because of their longsnapper and the griz didn't get that same luxury. 8)
Silly gris fans don't realize how lucky they are to get the Wildcats after we softened them up.

I think the Wildcats will come out “loaded for bear” as the old saying goes. Too well-coached to let their playoff positioning get away this weekend.

The one thing that worries me about UM’s chances to win is that they were +4 turnovers and +4 penalties vs SAC and didn’t win. I wonder if Idaho fans are talking about this?

I was almost certain that UM would beat Sac State last week. I thought the gris defense would match up well with their offense and I thought the Montana offense would manage enough big plays to get the win. I was obviously wrong. This week I thing WSU will steamroll the gris. Thier DB's will make it hard for the gris to hit the big play and I don't think they will be able to run the ball on Weber. Also, I know the gris have a great defense but I just don't think they are as physical as the wildcat offense. I was certainly wrong last week but I sure hope I'm not wrong this week.
Sac State is just plain better than Idaho. No way the vandals win that game.

Agreed. If I’ve learned anything over the last 20 years it’s that if the griz win tomorrow it’s because poor little Weber had bobcat hangover.

There have been three matchups between Idaho, Montana, Montana State, Sacramento State and Weber State so far. All three were decided by 7 points or less and one went into overtime.

This weekend it’s Idaho at SAC and Montana at Weber. I think they’ll both be nail biters.

SAC 31, Idaho 27
Montana 17, Weber 13

I’m not too sure on SAC, but I think UM matches up well when on defense vs Weber. I don’t think Barron can pass on them and their run game is vanilla.

A win by Idaho gives them the best shot at the BSC title, which is kinda amazing.

The following week SAC is at Weber. Then the last game of the quasi round robin is UM at MSU.
Two big plays sunk any chance UM had. Another tough loss. Their defense got worn down late. Another good round robin game.

RR Standings
SAC 2-0
MSU 2-0
Weber 2-1
Idaho 1-1
UC Davis 0-2
UM 0-3

Davis is 4-4. Losses to Cal, #1SDSU by 2, #5Weber by 5 and #3MSU. They’ve scored 50+ in last three games.

And they're highly motivated with a clear path to the post season by winning out.

I’ve become a fan of Davis. The way they’ve regrouped since losing to MSU and Weber on consecutive weeks is impressive. Yeah, the competition has been weak but they’re playing like an old school BSC team. Over 680 yards twice and averaging close to 600 a game over the last four games. I hope they beat Idaho and SAC. It’s a tall order, especially at Idaho.

No change in the standings. Idaho joins UC Davis on the sidelines. No chance of an Idaho vs UM game. At least one team will be eliminated this week. Potential for a UM at SAC rematch in the semifinals.
