You don’t have to worry about that. We will beat Davis bad.
I wouldn’t be so confident. Davis is no Mercyhurst. They have some great players in the trenches including some coming back from injury. UC Davis will be ready too they know this game is the difference between them having a top 4 seed and having to play in the first round of the playoffs. UC Davis is also well coached and disciplined they do not shoot themselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers.
I don't know who will win Davis v. Cats, but I'm concerned for the Cats. Those are 2 different things.
For someone that claims to know the game you're either being disegeuois or you don't know as much as you think. The cats play a 4-2 and a base front. The lb's essentially play assigned gaps. The DB's play a lot of man. They don't run a lot of CB/S, LB blitzes or even twists. Hence it's not the same disruptive style the griz play. They prioritize containment.The cats are the number one defence in conference in ypg and ppg by a long shot. You can cherry pick other things like sacks but the bottom line is points allowed. I suspect you know this but just like to blow smoke to confuse people that don't know any better for the sake of argument.
I get it 5280. Davis is no Idaho State or Eastern Washington either. They’re no Cal Poly.
What would any cat fan know about class?
Selective facts are lies by omission. Gregorak compared the Cats D to the all-time great D's from the 2000's last Thursday. Colter agrees. Gregorak coached the Griz under Hauck for 7 years. Before you go after him, he coached Tyler Corwin, Brandon Fisher, Shawn Lebsock, Tyler Joyce (ranked second in UM history with 356 career tackles), Shane MacIntyre, Kyle Ryan, and Loren Utterback - Big Sky Conference picks. (Not my work, found in an article). He told Colter this is the best D the BSC has seen in a long, long time. He too mentioned not a lot of sacks, but the best Dbacks and Safties in the conference, so they don't have to blitz. He said something like - if you don't have to blitz, don't blitz. So instead of cherry picking a couple of stats that don't tell the story look at the current BSC stats, or better yet compare BSC common opponents. I'm not saying the Griz are bad, I'm saying the stats don't lie.
Ouch
For Cats and Griz, doubt that SOS will matter much. Assuming Cats get by Davis, then both teams won’t get hurt by SOS as they will either win or lose against each other and have high enough SOS. I sure wouldn’t drop loser out of top 6 of seeding. Unless there are some late goofy losses, I don’t see the loser getting a top 4 seed. So they are going to be on road to the state of ND at some point in the later rounds. A win in 2 weeks and 2 seed will be huge. Poor Bobcats. Poor Bobcats.
Back to the the Fargodome they will go, where all FCS dreams go to die.
Griz are having a great season. Won’t take anything away from the level of talent the Griz football team has. It’s been fun watching them week in and week out. Haven’t been playing their best football lately but I expect we will get their best shot and will be treated with some excellent football. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Griz win…. Wouldn’t surprise me if Cats win. Blessed to have a great rivalry in the last best place.
