Bobcats are in trouble

Well-known member
I said it before, great teams can make good teams look really bad. Obviously the Griz are a great team, solid in all three facets of the game. Bobcats looked bad, really bad. You don’t win games unless you are good but the Bobcats’s massive weakness was put fully on display and the Griz provide the defensive blueprint on how to beat them. Whether their opponent(s) will have the personnel to execute remains to be seen.

Vigen is becoming Ash 2.0. His recruits are not going to be like Choate’s, plus the conference is now stronger. He cannot win big games. Especially on the road. Wins the ones at home that he is supposed to, but that ain’t getting it done! Their fans are starting to grumble.

The Bobcats are not a bad team. The Griz exposed their one dimesionality today. Last year, that one dimesionality beat us.This year, the Griz are a great team. The Griz made the Bobcats look bad today with their execution and dominance. Last year, the Cats did the same thing to us. The Cats were one play away from beating SDSU earlier in the year. What this game tells me is, we can beat SDSU if we play our game and execute. I hate the Cats as much as anyone, but the Cats just ran into a buzz saw today. They'll win a game or two in the tournament, but they just simply got outplayed today

You may have forgotten the 2021 game where the results were much the same, but bozeman wound up playing for the title. They aren't a complete team by any stretch, but they'll win their share of playoff games as long as they can run the ball.

To be so exposed so late in the season is a disaster. Cats aren’t magically going to make any of their QBs good passers. They aren’t going to improve their pass blocking. They have to dance with the one what brought them. If they cannot run, they are toast.

Nope, they are awful.

Could be, but depends upon the matchup, IMO ... specifically, if their first opponent has the players and versatility to shut down what the kitties do best, then MSU is toast. But the kittie's formula has done well against teams that can't stuff the run, and score points themselves. Thus, they could pound an opponent like Nicholls or Incarnate word.

The real question is will he still be 6th on Boise States coaching list.

They’re basically the same team we got trounced by last year. We just improved, and our defensive coaching is better-especially the in-game adjustments. I think that the Cats tried to use the same game plan as last year; but this is simply not the same team. We’re a championship caliber team now, and they’re the same running, one dimensional Cats.

I don’t think that they are the same. The OL is not as good as last year. Mellot and Chambers have not gotten better. Now they are known quantities. Their schemes are not particularly imaginative or novel. They beat up on a lot of teams with losing records. They may get a top 8 seed and get a lower level team but that team will have already won a game and have momentum. I see a rocky road ahead for them.

MSU is a solid 3 loss team. Were it not for Idaho beating MSU, The bobcats would have a second place conference finish.
