We have 2 TO's - 1 Int and 1 fumble. I have no idea how many penalties but I know it has been a ton. I can't believe the griz only have 3 points - they started 5 or 6 drives near midfield. Our defense has been huge - we blocked a FG and stopped them on 4th down twice. Both teams have really let some golden opportunities slide by. I think this first series of the second half will be huge. We need to hold them, get the ball back, and let the boo birds get busy.

Our defense is flat out making plays. Not sure but must have been at least four or five sacks of Swogger. No running game for the Griz.

Problem is our offense is not making any plays. Jefferson has one catch for three yards. Wheaton may have one catch. Lewis has the huge play on a long catch that led to a 5 yrd Mason TD run.

Groves went out on the second play of the game with what looked like a knee injury. Mason looks very fast on the turf though. Griz defenders are also fast. Tough to get yards.

I just logged on at halftime.. greaqt score for now...but Griz are strong in the 3rd quarter. If we can win the 3rd...we can win the game IMO

I agree - I really think frustration will set in for the griz and their fans if we can hold strong this quarter. The offense is going to have to do more this half though.

Griz seem to be able to move the ball by throwing quick slants against our DB's. We'll have to adjust the second half.

We have given them amazing field position due to penalties, turnovers and a couple really poor punts. (Big surprise

)

The defense has given the offense the chance to go out and win this game in the second half!!!

so the griz get the ball at the beginning of the 3rd? If so a 3 and out would really knock the wind out of the griz. Time to shine CAT D!

Yea...if we could eliminate the penalties we could hold on to the ball and establish field position better. Rolovich has to play smart...for the most part he has...but that last throw was bad. Jeffeerson has to catch the ball! He's dropped two excellent chances to put us in scoring position.

Defense holds - should have been a penalty when Swogger threw it to a lineman. Perfect start so far.

There's the Griz luck. Cats hold four and out after giving up a 10 yrd catch and Carpenter drops the snap and kicks it off the turf for about 70 yards!!!

We are in this game for one reason....the play of our defense. Our defense is always the key to our success. Keep it up Christoff and the boys!

Catd go three and out. Only 5 first downs in the first half.

CatsRback · Post by **CatsRback** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:36 pm

Offense needs to get some first downs or else our D may tire - it's time for Rolo, Mason, Jefferson and the boys to step up!

Absolutely. They have already done their job today. No offense and we will be hard pressed to keep them down forever.

What the hell is Jefferson's problem today? According to Kris he has dropped 5 balls today.

And now Papich is headed to the locker room.

What do you know - 3 and out by our offense yet again.

BigSkyCat · Post by **BigSkyCat** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:42 pm

That one actually looked like a catch and fumble out of bounds. Still have to hold on to the damn ball!!!

BigSkyCat · Post by **BigSkyCat** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:42 pm

Griz have great field position AGAIN. How long can the D hold? We need a turnover.

WYCAT · Post by **WYCAT** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:44 pm

Come on defense - once again the griz have great field position. We need another stop right now. The way our offense is playing we don't want to give the lead up.

So much for that.

Allen burns Austin for a TD!!!

D-Line obviously a little tired after rushing the passer so much and not getting any help from the O.

I would think this is a huge possesion for our offense. We have to establish something.
