GAME DAY THREAD - Pokey

yes

Also,, I think kicking it OB is a bigger deal than not kicking it into the EZ.

Well agreed, but he hasn’t gotten one to the EZ yet either.

Nice 95 yard drive - did someone say that Griz need to open up the playbook ?

I did. They needed to. Just what the Dr ordered, coming out of the half. Roberts with a terrific pass, and Grossman makes the play he's expected to make. We need to trust him more often on those kind of plays.

A team is limited in the number of players that can travel, and the luxury of taking (2) kickers might not always be available. Sometimes a coach will just have to adjust.

Justin Ford plays with so much intensity. Love #6.

 

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

Ford probably should have been called for holding their but I’ll take the no call

Agreed

LJ not very accurate on all his throws today.

 

[grizturd]

Yikes. That was a TD

 

[FireGriz]

If I never hear “iiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttssssssssssss 3rd down again” that would be splendid. This field announcer is not superb.

Fully agree. He did it on a 2nd down as well earlier, not sure he understands how football works.

At least they're not playing a sound effect for it. Absolute bush league garbage from teams that have no fans to make noise.

Most Big Sky announcers do this. The NAU announcer does it with this nasty growl and he practically yells it. It's horrible. I guess it's because they don't have enough fan support so they have to try to get the fans hyped up. Luckily Montana doesn't have this problem.

Hunter is a good runner

Later on this season, that delayed hb wheel route is going to the house. Johnson and Brown each have yet to complete that.

He didn’t kick at all against PSU in Missoula either.

Correct. I have no information but have to think he's injured. He was booming kickoffs for sure.

Later on this season, that delayed hb flare/ wheel route is going to the house. Johnson and Brown each have yet to complete that.

I'm thinking it might be more successful, to wait for the hb to separate just another 5 or 10 more yards. That way, he's more open and not as much finesse is needed.

That is because he is hurt, but my point was not getting the ball into the EZ isn't the end of the world. But if you can only take a punter and kicker in the travel team, who gets left out between Rohrbach, Nico, and Botner?

 

[Da Boyz Mom]

The commercials are so stinking long that by the time they come back I have forgotten whether we're on offense or defense and what the down and distance is etc.

 

[Proud Griz Man]

OK the Griz defense did their job well - the Offense gets the ball back and needs to generate a scoring drive here in the 4th Qtr.

Well, Botkin can kick FG’s too. But I get your point. :thumb:
