Cats vs. Idaho Predictions

[Prodigal Cat]

Does anyone know if Idaho has a BobcatNation equivalent?

You can read about our soft untested schedule. Yes they have had more quality games but let’s not act like Wyoming are world beaters of the FBS. What I’ve seen from Wyoming id say they are par to New Mexico.

Wyoming is worse that UNM. The Lobos have some weapons on offense and the Cowboys are bad bad bad on O. I'll predict UNM goes on a little run the next few weeks as they get AF then U St then CSU then Wyoming to get around .500 and be in the mix for a Bowl.

I can't say I blame them. I lived in the palouse for 2 years, only way to survive living in that wasteland is delusion

Nice, that particular poster may or may not had been involved in Ruby Ridge, possibly had a fallout shelter and throws rocks at cans to pass his time.

I'm concerned with the lack of production with our pass rush. We're half way through the season (the easiest part of the season) and Grebe has what, 1 sack?? With Seabass transferred out and Schmitt injured, we don't have anybody in the middle who commands a double team so teams are apparently able to neutralize Grebe now. Even unc showed life in the passing game eventually; same with Idaho state.

Now comes a much better team even with their injuries. They have shown the ability to slow down good running games. If they are able to keep Mellott in the pocket on passing downs, they could give the Cats trouble. They are well coached and just like last year, they'll come in with a solid game plan to keep this close. I'll stick with the Cats but this game does scare me.

Yes, Bryce Grebe only has one sack. His older brother has 5 though.

Nice. Five surprises me! OK I stand corrected. For some reason it doesn't seem like we've gotten the same pressure as the last few years since maybe 2019 or so. Its possible my eyes are deceiving me. But when you play Unc, Utah Tech, and Lord-have-Mercyhurst, I guess my expectations were higher than what I see. My bad, most likely.

Neither showed life against full first unit. Cats have not sent full on pressure much after building big leads and teams go to throwing quick since they can't run and are behind.

Hasn’t there been multiple threads, posts and physical evidence that we have had great backfield pressure this year? I guess sacks are the only measurement for success of our front.

I understand that sacks don't always indicate the full picture of QB pressure, but I'm not sure what you mean by "physical evidence". Did I miss the thread about our D-linemen's DNA on the opposing QBs' jerseys?
And posts on BN don't necessarily prove or disprove anything, its an opinion site, for the most part.

I guess I just had higher expectations given our schedule thus far. Most likely its a "me" issue, and hopefully I'm completely off base and you're right.

[tetoncat]

Idaho averaging 25 a game. 27, 26, 23 against 3 decent FCS Teams. They will be under that. CATS averaging 36 but best defense they will have faced. Also under avg but not by enough. Cats win.

No worries, I probably did too.

Idaho’s schedule is very overrated. Cats win by 17.

[Rich K]

Idaho defense also overrated. Bobcats 40 Idaho 17

I can't say I blame them. I lived in the palouse for 2 years, only way to survive living in that wasteland is delusion

My vandal brother survived for a year and half after college. Spend all your time at zeppos, cougar country and Moscow mall??

lol yeah and the occasional "getaway weekend" to beautiful Spokane... what a truly depressing part of the country

Moscow not that bad if you like the outdoors. An hour from Lake Coeur d'Alene, close to jet boating on the Snake and Salmon Rivers, and quite a bit of good fishing and hunting in the area as well. I don't live there but can think of a lot worse places to live.

I haven't really kept up with the d-line discussions on BN but watching the games it feels like we've been getting a lot of pressure on the QBs but not necessarily getting home before they get a wild throw off.

The palouse is one of my favorite parts of the PNW. Of course, I grew up on a ranch, so I have a certain appreciation and affinity for the ag lifestyle. And I'll say this; I'd much rather live in Moscow than in Lewiston. Hot summers, giant clouds of gnats in the spring, and the ever-present stench of the Potlatch pulp factory...
