To me this year the WRs and QBs are both new or relatively new. The Griz staff over the summer and preseason can make them mesh with each other. Same is true with blocking WRs and OL/TEs. The result will be an offense the other BSC schools can't prepare for. The Griz have 1-2 WRs I feel that will excel on the field. IMO, the Griz will run the RPO offense this year. We have the personnel to be very good at the RPO.

To me it's the Griz system not the personnel that will take the Griz deep into the playoffs this year. The Griz staff has done a great job filling voids and providing depth.

Go Griz.

I believe if #2 was somehow #9 or below it wouldn't much of an issue?! Then again "#2" seems like a good moniker for the boys in Bozeman!

You know right off this prediction is worthless with just a cursory glance. No UNI? Psh, bogus for sure!

One can only assume you meant UNI (University of Northern Iowa) and not NIU(Northern Illinois University). Don’t worry, they will still receive votes even if they don’t win a game.

I love that people think #7 preseason is “being overlooked”…

Well, when you are the Montana Grizzlies with the guys we have on this team and keep adding to this team, being rated #7 is disrespectful. I get that last year wasn't great for us and we haven't proven anything on the field and, in the end, that's what matters. With that said, I believe in my heart that this Griz team will be much, much better than the 2023 Griz. I'm thinking this is gonna be a year that is better than 2009. I could be wrong and, if I am, I will own it and say it. There is just something that is happening at Montana that is transformative, that is downright dominating. Remember when Bobby's motto was "Return to Dominance"? Well, this year is going to be the all caps and double exclamation point on that statement "RETURN TO DOMINANCE!!" DOMINATED will be a word spoken often this year!

On-Paper national champs. Not the title I care about.
 
It really doesn’t matter at this point. In fairness our entire starting defense could be all transfers or close to it. Which leads to questions. But I think Griz got some studs and are going to be much better than #7. But also my opinion doesn’t matter much at this point. After a couple Scepter IPA’s at tailgate then my analysis matters and is dead on.
