Good
- cam goes 20-27 (74%) for 250 and throws 5 TDs
- 9 different receivers catch a pass
- run game has 41 carries and averages 5.9 ypc foe 242 total
- Malik Flowers introduces himself to the Big Sky as a WR threat too, catching 3 balls for 100 yds and 2 TDs
- Childs and Bergen each with 14 and 13 carries and each average about 5.5 ypc
- offensive line opening up holes and giving plenty of time to throw, no sacks allowed
- O’Connell should be Big Sky player of the week. Had 9 tackles, 3 TFL, 2.5 sacks and forced a fumble
- defense pitches a shutout and has only given up 17 points on last 4 games.....let that sink in....that’s incredible
- our defensive backs are the key difference in this years D....the WRs aren’t getting open and it allows us to get to the QB
- hicks-onu has been a phenomenal pick up as has Justin Ford (swagger)
- beat a team soundly who hung with a decent FBS team the week prior

Bad:
- too many turnovers
- a couple concessions stands shut down so awful and slow lines (gotta find something bad haha)
- refs not calling 242,187 holds by the WIU offense

Ugly:
- the pick 6....seems like we all froze for 7 seconds before they realized they may want to tackle him

How about that new beer garden! Must admit it was a great way to go into the game early, avoid the lines, have a couple beers, eat some food and then go to my seat! When I was in there at like 5:15 PM there were probably 300 people in there. Great win!
 
Good- a dazed, but highly complimentary WIU coach saying the Griz D is one of the best in the country, no doubt.
Bad- a replay team that can't call a non-fumble or a knee down correctly.
Ugly- Egrizers ragging on a QB who threw for 5 TD's vs 1 INT.
 
Good- (1) A defense that hasn't given up a score in the last 110 minutes of play.
(2) Continuation of second half dominance displayed in the 2019 season.
( 3) Emergence of Flowers as a weapon in the pass game.
(4) More carries for Childs. He will be needed.
(5) Speed, tackling and communication on defense. There doesn't seem to be a noticeable drop off with subs.
(6) 3 penalties for 25 yards.

Bad- (1) Turnovers
 
On that 2nd INT it sure looked like that ball bounced off the ground from the NEZ….granted it was a ways away from us, but even on replay it looked like it, yet the call stood….anyone?

I sat in Row #1 in the North end zone, and it was 100% an interception.
 
Good: The crowd. 25,238 (a sellout). The NEZ stood for the entire first WIU possession, the students section was phenomenal starting the wave, the Montana Grizzlies chant and getting the entire stadium to turn on their flashlights on their phones. If anybody has a picture of that, I’d like to see it.

I was sitting on my couch in Billings. It was clearly an interception. The dude got a great jump on the ball and caught it clean.

Yes, there were at least 242,187 holds by WIU that were not called. I was about to lose my mind(and there is little left to lose).
