Why can't some egriz posters understand/feel how a game is going and know the Griz are in, or almost in, control and likely to win? Why do they panic so early and say so many dumb things? Not asking for a friend; asking
Yep. Need UC Davis to pull this off!
Fans feel the intense emotion and pressure too.
Some insane offensive stats from this game. We averaged almost a yard more per play rushing the ball tonight than passing. Which would have seemed unbelievable at halftime.

It was great. Got to spend a lot of time with family, eat at some of my favorite restaurants, and caught consecutive Griz home games. Pretty perfect visit really. Montana will forever be the land of my heart, but after 2 weeks away, I was glad to come home.

This Griz fan has a lot of silver in her hair. Only recently have I learned not to go off shift. It's passion and it takes time to get it under control.
They really weren't in control though. That's the thing. If Eastern had been able to recover the second onside kick, It's quite likely that they would have won the game. The Griz defense was not able to stop eastern's offense at all during the second half. The Griz finally got a lucky break when the second onside went out of bounds. That's not being in control.
What was UC Davis thinking with that trick play? Could have went up by 14 but now nothing.
I agree and disagree here. The offense had zero control over that game getting so close except for a few series where they didn’t score which is normal in any game. They didn’t flinch down the stretch when put in a must score situation by the defense and special teams and twice went down the field and punched the ball into the end zone to give us 10 point leads. That offense looked unwavering and completely in control of their side of the ball.
On the opposite side the defense just unraveled in the 4th quarter and lost all fundamentals and wasn’t in control of much of anything.
Pretty wild how that’s different from when we used to have our defense not flinching and forcing 3 and outs and big stops and shutouts and the offense lacked execution drive after drive all year.
For sure the worst defense since stitts last season. Seymour’s defense may have been better

They were in control. The 2d onside kick was a prayer by EWU. UM was definitely in control. The whole second half.
Sure. I was speaking of the team and the game as a whole, however. I agree that the offense did their job as well as they possibly could have, but because the defense did not adequately perform their role, it meant that the game was not firmly in control at the end when it mattered. I was just trying to point out to hoops that if the Griz had actually been in control as he claimed, the game would not have come down to an onside kick.
I disagree. The Griz were not in control after the first onside kick. A team that actually has control doesn't give the other team a chance to win at the end. That's the whole meaning of control.

The O was strong the whole game, the D was pretty good the first half, and the D wasn't as good in the second half. Overall, a win. The team never blinked backed down. Another nice win.
well, if UCD had taken the 3 instead of the trick play they'd be up by 2 scores with 2:22 left in the 4th.
Course, maybe their kicking game is suspect...

ok, we don't get play Idaho but I see that we do play UC Davis.
So, we really need the Aggies to win this one.
So, we can beat them....
And, now I really wish they had tried for 3...

No need to worry. Idaho fails on their two-point try and UC Davis will hold on for the win.
Idaho misses the 2 point attempt to tie it up and will try an onsides kick.
Deja Vue.
But, I don't have any emotions left...

I didn't even think about the onside kick. I should have known they would try after our game though.
