Cat scratch fever smoke and mirrors

[CDAGRIZ]

Actually, I'd be surprised if Prukop doesn't play better than DeNarius has the last 2 years. DM hasn't been playing up to his ability due to his injuries.

Come on. If Prukop could have played better than DeNarius last year you don't think they'd have played him? And suddenly your QB play is going to be "great"?

Denarius obviously had a tremendous career for the Cats, but he was bad last year. If you have a multiple year starter at QB and a leader like McGhee you ride him out his senior year and hope he gets through the struggles/injuries. I do think 2014 Prukop will be better than 2013 McGhee. If JJ struggles this year we would not bench him, he's earned the right to play and work through it.

That's pretty much it. Also, Prukop didn't know his reads very well last year. He's a tremendous athlete that has the ability to run the spread at a high level. Apparently he's much improved and I'm expecting to see something a lot like JJ.

That's what I've heard too. The one comparison that keeps coming up is Michael Vick, but Prukop is a little bit faster with a better arm and higher football IQ. McGhee got the nod solely because of seniority, but the Cats would have probably won the BSC if Prukop started. Coach Ron Ash did the prudent thing sacrificing the season to please McGhee.

Over on BN, there is a joking post about Bleskin transferring. I've had it in the back of my mind that it just might happen.

Gone for unknown reasons. He played as a true freshman for Bobby at UNLV but came in to MSU really raw. I had a conversation at a fundraiser with an assistant coach, and everyone was surprised how little coaching he actually received at UNLV. He redshirted to develop but then tore an ACL and missed his entire junior year. He would have been a senior this year having never played a down as a Bobcat. Regardless he's no longer at MSU.

I agree CWR. WR is my biggest concern, and it's true that all the bad news we have been shoveled so far hasn't affected a single projected starter. If you guys want to smack it up over here, talk about our lack of depth. We have none.

We have solid quality depth at QB, O Line, RB, and D line. Everywhere else... sketchy.

Besides Johnson on offense your team speed on "O" is pedestrian. One wr back from last year and he is "mummy" slow... Expect a heavy dose of man up, press, and every blitz under the sun. I just can't see you scoring over 23 pts. a game against the top 3rd of BSC defenses...and that isn't saying a hell of a lot :roll: Even with the dual home cupcakes .500 seems like a feat that won't come to fruition. If JJ stays upright you will finally get on a losing streak again with GRIZ... :egriz: you might get something out of Sully later in the year but...damn you're actually looking "Bad" right now.

Johnson should add to his All-American status this year as a returner. I predict he will be the single most dangerous and talked about special teamer in the whole conference. Past that, I think Brekke will make some waves this year. The kid has was the O MVP of the spring. We are bringing in a kid from UNR that Colter says will be really good, but he might end up 3rd string. Good problem to have I guess.

I like Brekke a ton. I just need to see him play a few more games. I enjoyed watching him roll West in snow down here a few years ago. That's one kid I can cheer for...tough little bas...d to say the least... :egriz:

Remember when certain idiots tried to tell us that every Cat QB on the roster was better than JJ? Good times.

He got caught in the huge wash precipitated by that great power shift.

He'll resurface after the cats win their DII game.

:lol: How many different phrases did cat fans use back then only to be smacked in the face after the 2011 Brawl?

Changing of the Guard
The Great Power Shift
The Turning of the Tide
We're here to stay now
...

The best one-liner after 2011 came from Helena's Independent Record in the first sentence...

Montana State - (Briefly) No. 1 in the country, still No. 2 in their own state.
