Saw a couple comments while perusing after getting home about the run game being concerning. Did we watch the same game?

Vigen’s halftime interview, he said he was concerned with the lack of run game, or something thereof.

Compared to season stats; our run game wasn’t up to the same numbers. But it didn’t need to be. The Bobcats offices is so dynamic that when a team like UTM slows down our run game, we simply activate other areas of our offense. Not mane teams can do that and we did so, with ease.

Good luck trying to game plan for MSU…


griz fans; keeping it classy and gracious in winning since ... well, never.

Ah, I see. I thought we ran well still. 8 YPC? No, but still good.

I mean we still had 6.1 YPC.

He didn’t say he was concerned, just that they had to do better.

That was the something thereof, couldn’t quite remember how he phrased it.

6.1 ypc and Tommy really isn’t being used as a part of the running game.

I expect that to change it not next week, then for sure in the semifinals if the Bobcats handle business against Idaho.


Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

What a ride

I missed most of the game and am just watching it back. Why is the color commentator actively rooting for UTM?

They we're really bad, it was like that on all the casts though, big time East Coast bias.

I wasn’t able to watch the game live, just finished watching the 1st quarter. Tommy’s TD pass to Dowler near the end of the 1st was a dime. One question I have, I thought in the playoffs fans can’t use cowbells and other stuff? It sounded like every time we were on offense, you can hear a cowbell. Just curious.


Punters are people too!!

Fans aren't supposed to use artificial noisemakers, but enforcement of the rule has always been inconsistent.

Was it just our TV, or did the video quality of the ESPN+ coverage for anyone else seem very fuzzy/blurry, almost like old VHS-quality imaging??

Their coach is a classy guy. This is a program on the rise. I will be following them closely next season!

Tommy needs to get some air under these throws. Waaaay too many batted balls.
