Good:
- hands down one of the most electric, loudest, craziest atmospheres I’ve ever been a part of in Washington-Griz. So awesome!
- put up a statue of Junior Bergen on Mount Sentinel now….the dude does it all!
- does Keelan White come up with the biggest, craziest catches or what! Seems whenever we need a big grab at a critical time, he makes it happen!
- took care of the ball with no turnovers and less penalties which was good
- defense held the #1 efficient passer in FCS to a 40% completion rate
- held a team averaging 45 pts per game last 5 games to 16 in regulation
- Gilman went beast mode in OT when we needed it most
- second OT game in a row where the defense stepped up to seal it and the offense found the endzone when they needed to
- special teams came up big again
- saw some good pressure from the D and LBs leading to 3 sacks and some rushed throws
- Gubner took on double teams the entire night while still blowing up plays and being disruptive and driving lineman backwards
- did you notice the “Houdini” play on 4th and 1 where cliff pretended the ball was on the turf to pop up and hit Shaffer for first down. Choate gave that a tip of the cap on Twitter. You may recall Chris Murray and cats doing that to Griz back in day to seal a win in Missoula. Fun stuff!

Bad:
- a few receivers getting behind the secondary too easily
- cliff needs to tuck and run a bit more when there is 15-20 yards of green
- can’t miss a PAT, especially one in a game and score like that

Ugly:
- the airlines jacking up fees for all of us to get to Frisco!

Feel free to add!
 
Good — Obviously Bergen’s PR. I thought the Furman punter was really screwing up with several shanked punts. Turns out it was an effective way to keep Bergen from getting the ball. Bergen is a force that gives opponents nightmares.
 
Good- Sawyer Racanelli an unsung hero 2 weeks in a row. Blocking mofos left and right for Bergens return TD.
Bad- late hit out of bounds to keep them in regulation.
Ugly- Coaches not recognizing the fake punt that led to the late hit. Not much time left. The entire crowd saw it coming and were calling it.
 
Great summary as usual. Great blocking punt return. Who last block.

Hats off to NEZ and crowd. Truly loud.

Hats off to defensive game plan. Will be nice to have more time to prepare.

Nice to have left side of line back. Late in game, 3 plays into a through left side.

Gubner played every snap. What a warrior.

Ugly: Flight delays out of airport. I finally got on a yesterday flight to SLC. Fog fog fog.

Tickets at face value are going to be tough to get.
 
The best thing about this team is the Defense. They have been the heart of this team all year. They set the tone and hold strong when it counts in clutch moments. The bad would be the offense struggling the last 2 games. And it's not the O lines fault either. Especially this last game, they gave Cliff time to throw the ball. But it's obvious he has a hard time reading defenses and struggles with making quick decisions in the pass game. The last 2 games when we've faced 2 good defenses, they took away our run game, to force us to throw the ball and it definitely gives Cliff trouble. I think our offense needs to put in Ah Yat to pass the ball so the run will open up for the RBs. And I'm not saying Ah Yat should start. Cliff is our starter and should be the starter. But they definitely should get Ah Yat in there for a couple of series to get the pass game going. Because if we don't, the same thing is going to happen against the best defense we faced all year in SDSU. The ugly would be our kicking game for FGs and extra points. They definitely struggled this last game and idk if it's because of injury or the elements, but we need those tickets to be on point for the NC game.

Bobby's still a sucker for the NDSU switcheroo. Fell for it when they were DII and tonight. :lol:

AMEN!!! There were lots of “edgy” plays by both sides, but the officials did NOT get flag happy…was a true pleasure to watch.

Definitely the best crew we've seen all year.
They let the teams decide the outcome not them.
 
Good: Bergen, the win, Offensive performance in Overtime, Crowd

Bad: Kicking game, Cliff needing to throw the ball away or take off running, Defense not letting WRs get behind them

Ugly: The transfer Portal

I don't disagree about the quality, but don't think officials not calling fouls is them deciding the game?

Agree with the OP. Complimenting grizon ^^^ on adding these three.

Another thing that I noted in re-watching the game - Isiah Childs with the supreme effort in blocking that punt (while being blocked/holding) and then
on the first TD run by Gillman - I believe that it is Childs placed in the slot that gets a great block to allow Gillman to get to the edge and into endzone.
 
Rewatching the game, I’ll add a “bad”

Having to settle for a 47 yard FG when we had first and goal from the 4. That was a weird series of plays that drove us all the way back to the 30…
