Biggest remaining game???
- Thread starter Cuervohola
- Start date
The most important game, and the toughest IMO will be NDSU in Frisco.
There's no shortage of hard games left. NAU is probably most familiar with what the Griz are doing on offense. That could be a game of two offenses focused on power run an ball control.
Probably the lowest scoring game on the schedule. Plus, Montana will be limited by a travel roster.
Cal Poly will be tough but will also be in Missoula. That's a huge advantage for the Griz.
Eastern has a great win under it's belt, but it's defense performed as poorly as Adams performed well. Adams is for real but Eastern's defense didn't put the fear of God in anybody Saturday. If Ewu can't stop Montana from converting on 3rd down, it's going to be a long day drinking Gatorade for Adams.
MSU won't get to show us much for a few weeks. It has another doozy cupcake game and it has to play SMU in the Texas heat. Dallas is supposed to be 97 next Saturday with 47 percent humidity. The two days before the game are hotter still. And say what you want about SMU losing to Texas Tech, they are still a much tougher opponent than Monmouth, a team that put up four times as many points on MSU as App State put up on Montana.

like that logic. so I assume you believe that of the griz don't beat that panhandle team by at least 75 they must be worse than lamar right? all things identical and all...
At the least the Monmouth game tells us the Cats second team D has issues.

It is true, the Cats have some depth issues on defense so there is really no need to worry about us being a team to deal with come November. We will be decimated in our 1's with injuries, our seniors will quit the remainder of the year and the 2's will not have learned anything from all the blow out wins and games they play in. You guys take that week off, no need to play the Cats as we'll simply mail it in..............

I got some very honest answers. I was finally able to watch the game and seen the 2 Headed Monster come to life. Cal Poly shut Flanders down last year but I think it'll be great to see how they handle 2 different styles of RBs running the ball. I really hope Counts gets a few touches. It seems like Flanders likes to run around the outside, Counts pounds it down the middle. I think it's gonna be a low scoring game. But then again I predicted a close App St/Griz game. So who knows. But I think who ever our toughest game is gonna be against it'll be against a team that can stop the running game.alabamagrizzly said:

Right now I am still withholding judgment on UM, APP looked pretty mediocre, whether the Griz get all the credit for that or not, I don't know, I personally think it is some of both APP being not so good and UM being better than expected. We wont know much about APP because I think they have a pretty easy schedule for awhile.
UND should be a good test for the secondary, that game will tell us a lot about the Griz defense.
pancake state tells us nothing
NAU will tell us a lot about the Griz offense

EWU
If it wasn't for NDSU's dominating run they'd be the consensus #1 right now

Team is focused on UND for sure, but beating the Scats is the biggest game every year for the fans. I could live with losing any other regular season game - along as we win all the others and host some playoff games. But having to listen to my Scat friends gloat for another year is too much to take.

Hey, FCS's former No. 2 is not favored against SMU, which is ranked 72nd in this week's Sagarin ratings. The Mustangs are a much tougher opponent than Mighty Monmouth, which is ranked 205 and put up 24 points against MSU! It isn't that MSU managed 42 points against the 205th "best" team in DI football that's telling. What's telling is that the 205th best team still put up 24 points on the Bobcat's defense.
Panhandle State shouldn't score a single touchdown against the Griz, all things being equal.

That's actually a huge sigh of relief!! I thought NDSU went in and made a mess of a very highly ranked team. It almost made me think that NDSU was so far ahead of anyone in the FCS that we might as well give them the NC Trophy and start the 2014 season :lol:Brock Landers said:
Sept 2 Sagrin ratings have Montana 97and MSU 107. Just sayin.
Oops. Sorry. MSU is rated at 104. Not too bad. But not as high as Montana. As it should be! Freaking NDSU is 49! We both got some work to do I guess.
