It was ugly, but if I heard correctly, the 'Cats had over 400 yards of offense while holding Weber to 360-something.

The ugly part was in the red zone performance.

Lulay accounted for over 400 yards himself. If that's not national player of the week, what does it take?

It was ugly BECAUSE we had so many yards and so few points for 3 quarters. Tons of penalties, bad execution, dropped passes... we did not deserve to win this game. Lulay robbed Weber.

Just like he has robbed so many teams in the past...

I agree 100% with your post CC. I am happy we won, but pissed at the way we played. Although, had Gatewood caught those 2 TD passes, I wouldn't be so moody right now.

That game at Sac State in 2002 where we won because of a face mask with no time on the clock was ugly. We had over 500 yards in that game.

I was just going to say, "the Sac game."

The t.v. guys said that Lulay had 9 come-from-behind-wins before this one...

Lulay may have stolen the win, but it was Weber's coach & Pizzaro who left the door unlocked (and wide open to boot!)...

Why do you spend over a minute acting like overtime is Okey-dokey, then say, "you know what, we've completed exactly 1 pass in the 2nd half; let's go ahead and chuck the rock down the field. What's the worst that could happen....?".

Lulay did great but his 3 ints let Weber hang in there...

Only one INT was he fully at fault for. You can make a case that it his fault for throwing into a lineman, but it isn't his fault Gatewood dropped that TD pass.

That may have been one of the ugliest games that I've ever seen. I was at the game in person and I have never seen so many dropped passes, and I've watched bobcat football for a long time.

It was great to win, and that has to be one of the most amazing comebacks I've ever seen.

It wasn't our best game of the year, but we won. Weber didn't lose this game, we won it. We did everything we had to do in the end to win the game. We have learned how to find ways to win games. That is the sign of great teams and great programs. We need to feel good about this win.

I used to say this a lot about Dave Kreig when he was the QB of the Seahawks: He had a great knack for keeping BOTH teams in a game!

Like it or not, I think our Cats are very similar; we kept Weber in the game (strange to say when your team starts the 4th quarter down 14) with our own mistakes and won the game thanks to our own talent, with a dash of bad judgement from Weber's coach.

No one is going to nominate the Montana / Montana State gane from 2002?

Both teams had more yards punting than offense. It wasn't so much great defense as a Griz team with no offense (due to a QB that wouldn't sit) and a 'Cat team that put togetehr drifes that would fizzle right before getting into field goal range.
Plus, the heavy wet snow ensured the worst football weather I have even seen. Yes, it ended the streak and brought the 'Cats into the playoffs, but no one will call that a classic.

I couldn't possibly disagree any more. That game was surely a classic in every Bobcat fan's mind.

I love this crap about "it not really being the Bobcat defense that was any good, it was just that the griz offense was so completely inept for that one game..." Give me a freakin' break. That 2002 Bobcat defense was so damn good, they willed that team to victory much like Travis has done so many times since then. John Edwards missed some passes, but almost every single one of those passes was thrown to a guy that was blanketed by a Bobcat defender. When they did catch it, they paid a heavy price. We stopped them from converting so much as ONE third down the entire game, and stopped them on 4th-and-short two times in the 4th quarter.

Anyone who can't appreciate a dominating defense like that does not truly appreciate the game of football.

The 2002 Cat/Griz game wasn't a classic? Every Bobcat fan in the world remembers where they were during that game! It was one of the greatest victories in Bobcat history. For me, I was 2 months old in 1985 when the Cats won and I had no idea what it was like to see the Bobcats win that game. The weather was bad, but the Bobcats dominated that game and it was not an ugly game.

I was in the endzone with the Bobcat marching band!

I'm never doing that again!
