Cats vs. UT-Martin 2nd round predictions

[tetoncat]

On one of coach shows UTM said their kicker was hurt, likely why the strange kicks last week, I like Cats return game and field position if they do that again

[Long Time Cat]

Cats kick one field goal probably at the end of the first half. UTM doesn't kick a FG because their kicker is hurt, they also miss an XP.

Cats 45
UTM 20

My kids keep calling UTM the Seagulls and I'm really enjoying that.

Bobcats - 45
Seagulls - 13

Kickoff specialist is hurt. The kicker who punts, kicks PATs, and FGs is fine.

He kicks FG and Punts bit can't kick deep on Kickoff. That is unusual. See that sometime with FG, but usually punters leg is strong enough.
Do you see that as an advantage for MSU if they kick short and allow returns.

Absolutely, we've struggled since Arena (KO specialist) went down. Van Winkle is a really good punter, decent FG & PAT kicker, but really struggles to kick it deep on kickoffs.

I predict a lot of sky kicks or squibs.

[St George]

Sounds like the Bobcat fans need a cheer to help Shank-a-lot-kicks on kickoffs.

If the team's nickname for the punter isn't Rip, I would be really disappointed.

I bet he kicks it so high he could take a nap.

Cats dominate 49 - 10

Good thing he’ll only have to kickoff once.

[84CatGrad]

I'm a bit of a contrarian when predicting games - reverse psychology as it were. Dent and Smith find a bit of running room early and a couple PI calls go their way to make it 17-14 Cats at half. Cats dominate in the second half though to win 45-17.

I think we run the 300lb DLineman ragged. It won’t be close.

It’s going to be a challenge. They have a lot of speed and are highly motivated to knock off the #1 seed at home.

I liked their backers when I watched. But I don't think I saw the speed you saw.

I agree on the raw speed, but the backers do look decisive and gap sound. We will see how their conditioning is at 5,000 feet. They are going to get a lot of snaps.

Number 60, Conner is listed at 6'7" and 420 lbs. Could be a misprint or he may have an extremely large turd in back pocket to slow him down.

Went to look for myself, apparently he was shot 9 times in May 2023. Crazy that he made it back on the roster.
