Dano Graves does not have Chris Brown's top end speed, but he is cat quick. A 70 yard Chris Brown run may only be a 30 yard Dano Graves run, but he may turn a Chris Brown 2 yard run into a 20 yard run. Dano ran for 140 yards and 2 TDs against Nevada and 98 yards and a TD against San Diego.

The other thing that Dano does better than Brown is pass. Cheat up to stop the run and he can beat you with his arm. Brown had a stronger arm, but lacked accuracy to be a consistent threat throwing. Dano is a much more accurate passer.

I was very impressed with the passing game last weekend. It is hard not to get burned defensively when you are so committed to the run. #4 is a weapon in that part of the offense

When is the last time a Griz defense shut down an option attack? Ever? Can Semore pull it off?

Will be interesting.

Basically here is what needs to happen for options teams to be shut down.

1. Huge advantages in talent on the front line and linebacking corps.

2. Good defensive scheme.

3. Lots of luck. The occasional prayer and ritual sacrifice.

4. Containment on first and second down.

5. Making America great again.


At the college level, it is more about containing option than stopping it. I'll stick with an assessment that I got twenty years ago from my high school coach in regards to the veer option. It is about making them work for every yard, on every drive. They are going to get 200 yards rushing, but you want it done on 50 carries and not 25.

There are other situational elements that in recent years that have hurt the Griz when playing these teams. The biggie is playing from ahead versus behind. Being behind triple option teams on the score board only makes them more effective. Getting ahead changes their play calling a bit, especially close and tight games late.

Some e cells t point. I think the biggest is first down for Cal Poly. If they are getting 5+ on first down they dictate the game. If the Griz do not stop them there it is over.

You have to hope with Cal Poly's ability to convert on 4th down in their offense that Stitt's ego does not get in the way on 4th down in bad field positions.
