ISU Predictions

I am going to have to say the score will be 33 to 20 Cats. The Cats will give ISU a couple of late scores to let ISU reach 20. The Cats will miss a couple of PATs so they will end the day with 33. I could see Kramer laying it on ISU, but this score is the one I am going to stick with.

Poky,

Give me a break. Your team is not anymore "athletically" talented than the Cats. If your memory is short, the Cats shut down Hetherington who was much better than Hagler. The Bobcats get their top cover corner back this week in Chris Davis, the transfer from New Mexico. Tremaine Murray is the Bobcats' most explosive receiver and your DB's couldn't keep up with him, much less Jevon Miller or Ricky Gatewood (the best WR in the Big Sky). Your team played well last weekend and capitalized on EWU's mistakes. There will not be nearly as many mistakes to capitalize on this game. The Cats will go to a nearly all passing offense this weekend and your defense will have no ability to stop them. Your front 7 may be good, but they won't hardly touch Travis Lulay unless he scrambles. Good luck.

Cats- 35
Bengals- 10 (via a TD drive full of penalties)

Just got off the ISU board and it is interesting how the vast majority picks ISU big over the Bobcats! Hmmmm... maybe some incentive there... but it appears there is irrational confidence, alas, more like desparate hope, echoed by the ISU fans. Don't get me wrong... this will be a tough game... but I stand by my comments they were given a gift at home last weekend.. and there are no gifts at Bobcat Stadium. Cats 3-2 and ranked in top 10 after 35-20 win! ISU drops off top 25 board... then defeats Griz at home the following weekend.

To see ISU jump out on a pretty strong EWU D for 34 scares me. I think they'll have a tough time with our 3-4 and our secondary (minus stupid penalties) is starting to play tough. I say it'll be 31-20 CATS...then again last week I said it was gonna be 20-17 NDSU so I hope the same score flop doesn't happen.

It is hard to talk smack with you guys because you seem to be level headed. The grizz are a different story. Like I said before I think this will be a great shootout. I favor ISU to win of course because I am a fan. I hope it is a great game and I hope no one on either side gets injured. We both need to stay healthy so we can jam the rock right down Montana's throat and let them chew on it for a good long time!

torrybruce,

I'm sorry, but NOBODY put any stock in EWU's defense coming into this season and I think they've had some injury problems to boot. PLUS, 5 of the 6 ISU scoring drives started INSIDE THE EAGLES 40 YARD LINE (did you miss that?)!

A LOT of teams will stick 30 on Eastern (as their only 2 real opponents already have & I would expect PSU to do the same Saturday).

I'm not about to say that ISU doesn't have a chance but I am very confident that A) our D is much better than Eastern's and B) we won't set them up in or near the redzone like the Eagles did.

Why does everyone seem to discount special teams play. We didn't when Kentucky had a kickoff return for a touchdown and another 95 yarder that set up a score on the next play.

El gata, that is how the game is played, SPECIAL teams play is a part of the game.

Well isnt that SPECIAL. ISU will lose. Sorry.

No, you're not understanding. Once again:

Our special teams will pin you deep all game.

We aren't discounting special teams. In fact, we are accounting for our coverage teams, which have been dynamite this year against opponents that bring a lot more than what you've got.

Sorry biobungle, but you guys just aren't very good. If it weren't for the back and forth on the message boards, I'd be having a hard time getting pumped to see us run you guys out of the building this Saturday.

'Cats embarrass ISU: +38 to -17

Face it, we can do it all. If we have to pass, we'll pass. If we have to run, we'll run. On D we have an excellent front seven. I like your offense, but not enough fire power to light us up for 30+.

Firepower? do they sell what you are smoking over the counter in Udaho? Travis Lulay is firepower baby!! Miller, Murray, Greatwood, Guinn................................ roll'n roll'n roll'n keep those Bobcats roll'n!!

BOBCATS into the 40's
BENGALS into the teens.

The whole thing with grass, outside, spare me, we are just as good on grass, and you are just as good on turf, that doesn't matter... We have a more athletic talented team than you do, and if the game was in Poky, it would'nt be close, but being up there, we will win by a TD or so... Face it, we can do it all. If we have to pass, we'll pass. If we have to run, we'll run. On D we have an excellent front seven. I like your offense, but not enough fire power to light us up for 30+. This will be a great game... Good luck the rest of the way after Saturday...

You have no Idea what you are talking about. PURE

I don't get why so many of the Bobcat fans are so confident? From what I have seen this year I am not nearly as confident as most of you. We have yet to put together a complete game, and stupid penalties and mistakes are killing us. I still think we'll win, but I don't think we are so superior to ISU that we will kill them. What do you guys see?

I want to know where all of this confidence comes from, I need some of it!

42-6 thrashing of an SFA team whose average margin of victory is 50-30 in their other three wins doesn't count as a complete game to you? What more do you want to make it a complete game?

tetoncat · Post by **tetoncat** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 5:11 pm

I agree that we will win, but why is everyone discounting that we may have turnovers. Last week all we talked about was out fumbles and how we needed to clean that up. If we do give ISU the ball like EWU did, we will need to play some great D to compensate.

How many turnovers did we have that game.

Two interceptions and two fumbles. I don't know about you but I don't call that a complete game.

Maybe you should give your definition of a complete game then. I never said we were perfect, if you are waiting for a perfect game you are going to be waiting a long time and miss out on some good ones in the meantime. The thing about the SFA game was that when there were mistakes made the team buckled down and nullified any effect of those turnovers. It was a complete game in that the offense and defense were in complete control of the entire game and there was nothing SFA could do to change that.

Hey Guys FYI , We have not even played to our full potential yet either. The Kentucky game was pretty good though but still not our full speed. As we get into the Conf. play everyone should start clicking. It will be a game on Sat. I wish you guys luck after this game. ISU 28 Montana st. 21 Oh yea, I hope you guys kick the crap out of the Grizz this year. Where do you play?

We're at home, and will kick the griz butts just like we're going to kick yours on Sat.
