Is Micah Harper ok? After that play he looked like he was trying to sub himself off but had to stay on for another play before eventually getting subbed out. I don't think I saw him play again after that. Hopefully he's all good!

Indiana State was 6th in the conference last season, and not a cellar dweller last season. IS was picked 5th in the conference in the pre-season poll. Again, not an indication of a celler dweller. Please try to stick with the facts.

Why stupid? You don’t think our KO return needs practice to improve?
With a 30 point lead at that stage of the game? We could put our punter out there and call for a fair catch. Why even take a chance on an injury at that point?

Omg.

The Griz have played exactly one good football team so far this season and it wasn’t Indiana State.
Catching a fair catch is harder than you think. I'd rather we didn't throw Morrison out there to do that......
It appears the Griz have pretty good depth everywhere except P/K. Morrison needs to stay healthy.
And they're 3-0 so....
Others have played exactly two good teams and lost them both. A few of those teams have even struggled against awful teams, say for example MercyHeart or whatever

gotta clean up the tackling
Good -- We continue to get better pressure each game. The days have returned to getting so many hits on the QB that they are absolutely shook by the end of the game.
The passing game is answering a lot of questions that fans, including me, have had for a while (deep shots, middle of the field, non-screen creativity in route structure).
We have an absolute embarrassment of riches in that RB room. I hope Gilman stays all four years, but IF he leaves, we would still be left with Rocker, Running Rabbit, Fonoti, and Jones in the room. Wowzers.
LBU is back to having an absolutely stacked LB corps.
Postgame pressers have really had a lot of subtle signs of a tight knit team and a locker room that is in a good place. I don't watch every press conference post game, but Hauck was noticeably warm toward both guys this week. Last week you could tell Brooks Davis was nervous, and after he finished talking Ah Yat subtly gave him a leg slap or squeeze and told him he did good. Solo talking about how he has been welcomed and is so thankful and happy to be here, and Hauck telling him that the feeling is very mutual. Conversation about Running Rabbit being popular with both his teams and his coaches. There have just been some really encouraging signs, and it feels like the locker room is where it needs to be.
Bad -- I get that we were not trying to run up the score and the running game was humming along, but it would have been nice to get Flowers and Jensen some live reps making reads and throwing it.

Looking forward to some competition. . .eventually. I think it is fair to expect blow outs most of the year. The schedule this year is about the weakest it has ever been. Hard to really know where the team is, or even how good the guys are, until they play some decent competition. Also, I have noticed such a drop in skill from most of the Big Sky teams over the past 4-5 years. It is very visible when you objectively look at it. The conference and the FCS is almost night and day from what it was for awhile. I feel like the drop off has accelerated each year since about 2020. I guess it works in the Griz's favor, because Hauk is great with keeping a consistent program, while many of the other programs have significantly dropped off. It is almost just the two Montana schools that have any real clout in the Big Sky, at this point. Am I wrong?
North Dakota isn't decent competition??
The bsc has 4 teams in the top ten, 5 in the top 15. Each more than any other conference. Please explain how that's objectively a drop in talent.

I agree. It is difficult to be 3-0 regardless of who is on the schedule early. I was just trying to point out that this week's opponent will likely be more of a test than last week's.

Yeah, maybe they didn't need Wortham back there
Clout? Or performance? The only team that WAS good and has fallen way off is EWU. Montana, MSU, Idaho, Davis are pretty consistently good. THen there's usually 1-2 who pop in and out (NAU for example). Every conference has it's dogs and its big dogs. BSC is no different.
