A dominating, smothering win for the griz...

They tried to fake a field goal and Dixie State snuffed it out quickly. It wasn’t even close.

Re: IS UM any good?
Dixie should have been ahead at the half. QB over threw a few way over the receivers head when the they were wide open. And a reciever fell in the endzone for a interception. Hauck left starters in in the 4th quarter. Griz did wear them down and churn on them late in the game.

They sure don't look like dominant team... Good yes, but not nothing crushing...

Re: IS UM any good?
Yep, they really looked horrible in the first half. Dixie finally just wore out. The griz have had a few key injuries and their starters are having to play deep into each game. The cats depth is going to be much better and more experienced by the late season.Montanabob wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 5:19 pmDixie should have been ahead at the half.

Re: IS UM any good?
Losing Cam Humphrey clearly hurt. Maybe not a great player, but a lot of time with the team and quite a few starts. Did Kris Brown play quarterback? I was surprised that Dixie State had enough horsepower to hang in there. I watched (on TV) their first game against Weber State and it was a disaster, pretty much.

Re: IS UM any good?
They have a decent amount of good players, but that defense relies a lot on smoke and mirrors. It’s not a very common defense, so teams aren’t familiar with it, and they use a lot of trickery. Figure it out though, and it can be beaten.

Re: IS UM any good?
I think the griz will be fine with Brown at QB. It's his first game, I'm sure there were a ton of nerves leading up to this. Once he gets a couple games under his belt he'll be fine and the griz will be a tough team to beat.

Re: IS UM any good?
This is no different from how MSU fans would react, but I have to chuckle a little at the Griz fans' abrupt shift from "WE BEAT WASHINGTON, BOW DOWN TO YOUR NEW FCS OVERLORDS" to "Calm down, no big deal, one unimpressive game doesn't mean anything."

The conversation only takes place when UM fans know they aren't all that good, again. For the 12th year in a row, is it?

How cute from the guy supporting the school now doubled in enrollment numbers by MSU and dominated in every sport but men's basketball (for now). Keep on coming here to feed your own fragile ego though.

Actually... In what must be a complete embarrassment, the Cats had a better basketball season last year too.MSU01 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 3:10 pmHow cute from the guy supporting the school now doubled in enrollment numbers by MSU and dominated in every sport but men's basketball (for now).

Is UM any good? It sure doesn't look like it.
As long as we're remotely healthy I'm not worried about Cat-griz.
