The Griz played arguably their most complete game of the year, and still not their full potential, but close.

I saw four big turning points:

1. Wortham struggling early. The fumble, the tipped pass pick 6, and the missed read on the option were huge. To beat a top tier team, all three of our playmakers need to be on point.

2. The blocked field goal. Great for Crews, I’ll always root for a Montana kid. He’s had a rough (and mostly self-inflicted) path to get here, so good for him.

3. No urgency early in the 4th. Without Eli breaking that long run, this game might’ve slipped away.

4. The officiating. Refs don’t usually win or lose games, I’ll have to rewatch a few plays. I’m not convinced Davis was in, and I’m not sure Dowler caught that ball. I appreciate that they let the chippy stuff go, but MSU got away with a ton of missed personal fouls, and the holding call was absolute garbage.

Big picture: this feels like a 4 or 5 team coin flip. After today, I could see NDSU, UM, SDSU (if their QB is healthy), msu, or UND winning the whole thing.

I’ve got a lot more confidence in the Griz. Hopefully we land the 3-seed and all the mvfc teams end up on the opposite side of the bracket. Beating them in Blowsman to punch a ticket to Nashville would be legendary (very tough to beat a team twice in a season).

On to the playoffs as always Go Griz!
 
I didn’t have to get up and hike 6 miles with a bucket on my head to get water and then hike back with it. I got to drink a bunch of beer with people I like, I watched a great football game, and I enjoyed the hell out of the show, even though my team didn’t win. Great game! Looks like we will be playing football in December! Thats my “perspective”. Life is good!!

Oh yeah, forgot about that Dowler "catch" it most certainly wasn't. He was bobbling it and it hit the ground n he pulled it in. Incomplete all day.

Exactly, at the end of the day it’s a football game. Played every year. One team wins and one team loses. This game does not decide your whole season. I’d much rather win a Natty and lose to them than the other way around
 
I agree, I thought we played really, really well on both sides of the ball for all 4 quarters. The team was prepared and the staff had some stuff dialed up that was really effective. Cats just looked like a slightly more complete team, I thought at least.

Big picture, that kind of makes me nervous about being on the road, and for life after Gillman and Wortham….who have been absolute studs. It is frustrating to lose the battle in the trenches, again.

And on the cats side of things, they haven’t lost much of a step after losing Tommy to graduation. You have to hand it to Vigen, he’s a damn good coach.
