Man, I'm struggling with this one. Poly got creamed with injuries last year and I think they are a better team than last years record would indicate. They have their QB and Fullback back on the field this season. Poly did just gave up 70 points and 400 rushing yards to Eastern, which is probably a good sign for the Griz, but Eastern also let Protheroe run for 176 yards, which is scary. Remember, there were a playoff team in '16 with a healthy Protheroe.
I think every conference game is going to be a battle this year, especially on the road. I think this is big opportunity to show that this team has some grit and can win on the road. We'll find out how good the Grizzlies rush defense is in this one. Griz win another nail biter.
Griz 38
Poly 34
