We get a healthy South Dakota state and UC Davis get freaking Rhode Island cool

 

[Griz til I die]

Davis/Rhode Island game got elevated to ESPN2 next week. Good for them!

Yup. Griz literally have the toughest road to get a championship. Have to beat SDSU, then most likely USD, and then most likely a team that already beat us.

Mason looked fantastic today, we are going to have our hands full next weekend.

Mason looked fantastic today, we are going to have our hands full next weekend.

Yes, he did, I was hoping for rough edges missing 5 games, but he was solid. They didn't get much pressure on him, so maybe we can change that, but I felt they would have won this game even without him.

So you wanted to play all the easy teams before playing the Cats?

Is that what he said?

and the times he did get pressure, he got rid of the ball quickly. Almost like he was afraid to get hit or pushed which might put more pressure on the turf foe. If I was the Griz D coordinators, I would force Chase Mason to beat us with his feet, at least at the beginning and then make adjustments, if needed.

 

[GriznMN]

Yes

 

[HelenaHandBasket]

Yes

LOL, I suggest you read it again.

We should have won last weekend

Yep. He didn’t need to run at all. I imagine we bring a ton of pressure next week and force their WRs to beat our CBs 1v1. I also think Loud is one of those corners.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.

I'm sure Boobie has a "plan"

 

[rocklobster]

A week off for this team will do wonders, after playing 12 straight weeks. The Griz will be ready and rested. Yes, we're playing a very good team, but they're playing a beast of a team on the road. I really don't care how the Kittens did against them. We have to play our game. He'll, the Kittens beat powerhouse Mercyhurst 17-0! They better not be looking past Yale.

 

[griz fanatic]

Don't sweat it guys. We have the best in the biz game planning. The bunnies are toast.

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.

Yeah I’m saying that as in “if we would have won we would have had a better path. But we didn’t so we’re being punished”.

Or as in “it’s our own fault”

 

[4_0_6]

^^^or lost more and be in UC davis seed, ha.

I was driving all day and just checked scores. Cats going to put up over 50 on Yale. SDSU is going to be tough.

 

[Griz in Texas]

I see these early lines, not from a gambling site

'Nova at Lehigh (-2)
USD (-2) at Mercer
ACU at SFA (-2) ACU won the regular season meeting 28-20 in Abilene all the way back on 9/6
Ill State at NDSU (-21) NDSU won the first time around 33-16 on 10/4
UND at Tarleton (-6)
SDSU at UM (-2)
Yale at Bozo (-11)
URI at UCD (-1)

I didn't make them up, I just found the early lines.
