Tennessee State Tigers scouting report

[HookedonGriz]

I bet the Griz win this by 14-17 and then get trucked by SDSU by a similar margin

 

[fltheadgriz]

I didn't realize that Ten State is an HBCU college.
Have the Griz ever played an HBCU team?

Seems to me we played one in the playoffs during the 1990s

Yes, Montana played Jackson State (1-0 against them, won 48-7 in 1989) and Mississippi Valley State (1-0 against them, won 67-7 in 2016)

I remember Jackson St for sure.

Oh yes Mississippi Valley State...isn't that where their defender did a rolling tackle on our QB and broke his legs? Was that Sneed or someone else? Can't remember the name of the QB..must be getting old.

You're thinking of Savannah State and Reese Philips in 2017.

that is right...thank you for reminding me!

 

[armonte]

I remember Grambling in the playoffs a few years back but not the year.
A little research I think it was 1989, they played 3 times in the playoffs 1980-1989, just a guess it was 1989.

 

[armonte]

Yes, Montana played Jackson State (1-0 against them, won 48-7 in 1989) and Mississippi Valley State (1-0 against them, won 67-7 in 2016)

I remember Grambling around the 80s.

I don't think the Griz have ever played Grambling.

The Griz lost by 3 TDs last time, and we were good.

jacks v cats in title game should be a good one.

 

[HikeGlacier]

jacks v cats in title game should be a good one.

I don't think so. The Cats won't be able to score. I think South Dakota is the best of the three. The Cats will struggle in that game.

Not saying you're wrong but the Griz opponent history sheet on gogriz doesn't list a game against Grambling.

Thanks I couldn't find it either.

True, thinking of another team that wasn't bother by the cold.

 

[poorgriz]

Well that would be quite the defensive performance to keep the Cats from scoring. Number 1 offense in the country - and that's without having to pass much or unleash Tommy, both of which the Cats are fully capable of if that is needed. We'll see how things shake out.

 

[AZDoc]

BW, did you see the size of their DL?
They have the size I wish we had.

I have a feeling, unless we wear them down, inside running might be a challenge early.

Same man...same! Wait...you said DL size...shoot...

Cats aren't going to beat the Dakota schools just on the ground.
