Good:
- carve an image of Bergen into the mountains above Griz stadium. My goodness what he has done to almost singe handedly win games is historical. Ties the FCS record for punt returns at 8. Is one off from the all time NCAA record of 9 from Pettis. Taking 2 back in one game is almost unbelievable and he’s done it twice now, both in playoffs
- got our run game going after looking pretty bad in the first quarter. And it all started with an absolute spark plug in Fonoti, our future RB star. He came in and ripped off several big runs. Kudos to the coaches for making adjustments and kicking out the crashing ends to open up lanes. Fonoti had 8 Carrie’s for 46 averaging almost 6 ypc
- then it seemed to me like it woke up Gillman. The slower, hesitant Gillman we’ve seen for 5-6 games reverted back to the early season beast mode RB who wouldn’t be denied. Gets his 1000 yards for the season and 2000 for career and already moves into 5th all time for TDs in Griz history. He ends up with 136 on 20 carries for a 6.8 ypc and 2 TDs. The run he had the seal the win was something to behold….patience, power, speed, and determination
- Riley Wilson went off on defense….3.5 TFL and 2 sacks and all kinds of pressures. He is one of the best LBs I’ve seen in a Griz uniform and that is saying something
- really good too see Grossman get more involved in the offense with 3 catches, one for a big first down
- Ty Morrison was 4/5 on FGs and scored 15 points and had that 50 yarder before half
- Xavier Harris had a couple good KO returns and averaged 30 yards per return
- Racanelli had some nice grabs and I love how he blocks on the edge. So glad he will be back
- the defense overall looked pretty great. They were put into some tough situations with short fields but to give up negative rushing yards is a feat in and of itself
- great to see some new faces impact the game….Geno Leonard played well and has a high motor (been hurt all year), Mason from Washington made some plays, Bridges the freshman WR gonna be special, Fonoti is gonna be absolutely incredible here
- the 12k who showed up were loud and proud and disrupted the game for TSU….5 or 6 false starts and some bad snaps
Bad:
- the QB play was not good, and the two fumbles by Fife were very costly….led to 10 points and kept TSU hanging around
- can’t have 3 TOs and win many games, we were fortunate
- can’t fumble inside the 5 yard line when trying to end the game
Ugly:
- trying to get away with another pooch kick that let TSU get to the 10 yard line. Your D was playing great, just kick the damn ball and play defense.
- gnashing TSU in the run game for the whole 2nd quarter to then get away from it and start doing QB runs and more passing behind the the sticks. Stick with what is working until it’s not!
