Good:
- when you have mixed feelings about a 39-7 beat down
- special teams, MVP - blocked punt by Janacaro who then jumped on it for a TD. He also blew up some guys on kick coverage. Then Flowers taking it to the house. Then Buschini flipping field and averaging 45 yards per punt with basically no returns. Then Macias being perfect on PATs and his FG
- defense continues to play like crazy. I believe the unofficial count got up to 36 straight drives where they did not give up a point before CP finally scored (that has to be some kind of ncaa or big sky record)
- X Harris can be the X factor. He quietly racked up 70 yards on only 9 carries averaging 7.8 ypc.
- Sammy Akem 65 yard TD with a stiff arm at end to get the TD. He can be such a force.
- Joey Elwell catching his first TD as a Griz
- no turnovers
- Garrett Graves racking up 11 tackles while playing for Gavin Robertson
- Patrick O’Connell is making a case for Big Sky Defensive MVP….9 tackles, 3.5 TFL, another sack, and how about that speed on the scooped fumble for a long TD that got called back
- pick 6 for Belknap
- new beer garden absolutely packed at halftime allowing more people to get back to seats quickly
Bad:
- offense was inconsistent and needs to play better. Maybe some rust coming off a bye
- need to run the ball better
- too many penalties and too many holds
- too many missed tackles
Ugly:
- the no call on a pass interference where CP defender hit our receiver 2 seconds before ball arrived
- the swass that was incurred by 25k people in 82 degree heat
