I have a feeling our defense is going to be really good. Loaded with talent at all positions, and I think Bobby is going to instill an attitude of toughness and dominance at a bit higher level that what we've seen.

My observation has always been: when playing defense in any sport if you can stay focused on being in position, you’re going to be okay. In football, the next thing you need to hone is your fundamental tackling ability and not falling into the trap of trying to make the big hit.

And not thinking too much. The worst Bobcat defense of the last 15 years had two enormous problems: terrible pre-snap alignment, no communication so everyone was overthinking everything, leading to getting gashed despite having a secondary with three players who all went on to play in the Power 5 and a linebacker who starts in the NFL.

Anyone know if the spring game will be carried on ESPN+? If not, anyway us out of staters can watch the game?

[BelligerentBobcat]

I’m going to be honest, I tuned out when you said that MSU has the easiest OL scheme and all they have to do is “block left and block right”. I’m sure you were trying to exaggerate to make a point, but cmon. That was dumb.

Also, I beg of you, actually look at how many times Tommy runs in a game. Never more than 18 times last season. 3 times more than 10 rushes a game. And for the record, if any Griz QB had the game Tommy did against NDSU, you’d be crowning them as the best QB in the conference and not just the best athlete who can kind of pass.

It's going to be on SWX and will probably be streamed at https://www.swxlocalsports.com/montana/montana-state/.

Yep. It's funny to me how so many people get this idea in their head that all we do is run the ball, and how we run Tommy 40+ times a game. I's just simply not true. I think all these people are just remembering ONE game, where Tommy did run the ball like 40 times or something crazy like that. As you say, I would bet you there were no games last year where Tommy had more than like 5 or 6 designed runs. Last point, I think the country is going to find out about the Cats passing game in 2024.
