Griz at UW Predictions

[ordigger]

Do I think the Griz will win? No
Do I think the Griz can win? Absolutely

if these teams played 1000 times, guaranteed the Griz win at least once - but can it be that first time?

Since no one else will do it....I will predict a major upset, although I don't expect it.

Griz 48
Washington 45

You are quite the optimist! If the griz score more than twice I'm happy, but I cant imagine Montana being within 4 touchdowns by games end. Washington is bigger, faster, and deeper at every position IMO.

Washington - 52
Griz - 7

True, but so were the Grizzlies compared to Valpo. Every team can have bad days. One thing reading up on Washington that I saw is their cornerbacks are young, and raw. If Phillips can exploit that, we got the talent with our WR's to keep up with them. Basically that is what EWU has had some success (until yesterday) with.

45-17. Udub takes early lead and rests starters. Griz score late.

 

[Ringneck]

Huskies 58
Grizzlies 16

 

[GrizLA]

If only UM could stop the "big" play but....63-3

 

[first11]

Them 48. Us 17

We may actually have the opportunity to win the time of possession battle just once this year and this game looks like the one. The Dawgs might have a bunch of one play scoring drives over the top. We will have the chance to run the clock three full plays before our All American punter gets his debut on the Big Stage.....

Dawgs 53
UM 17 (two TD's and a 3 point surprise dropkick from 40 on a 3rd down by our punter)

 

[Griziron]

UW may set a record for 1 play TD drives.

You are assuming that Phillips will have time to throw down the field...that is wishful in my book. Oh, and scouts say those young corners are better than what they had last year.

Dawgs defense not as stout as it was last year. Offense still pretty good. Griz get it going and score on em but they can't stop the dawgs from big plays which is the bread and butter of the UW offense.
Griz 31 UW 49

I'd be extremely proud of this team if it were able to score that many points on a dam fine Washington team. I don't think it will happen, but man would I be ecstatic if it did [emoji120]

Yeah going with my heart not my head on this one.

 

[uofmman1122]

Our offense has me excited to see how they do against a real defense.

Our defense will not be able to cover the insane amount of speed they have at WR, though.

54-31 Dogs

 

[VAGriz]

56-27 UW, hopefully a better defensive showing by the Griz.

 

[gv17]

I figure if the Griz can hold them to 50 and score at least 10 it would be a win.
So UW 50 Griz 10.
Going to truly enjoy hollering for/at the Griz again with my daughter like we did for many years from the Wa-Griz north end zone before moving north.

Without any healthy safeties, this is gonna be a tall task.

With healthy safeties it would be a tall task.

What's the scoop on the Sled Dogs? (injuries/suspensions/MIAs?) I haven't followed. Anyone significant expected to be absent this weekend?

45 to 31 UW. I think we will keep the game within striking distance as long as we don't give up big plays. We will be very pumped up playing in there environment. We will continue the good rhythm we had going in the 4th qtr against Valpo.

I don't believe in trying to pick an actual score. UW will win handily is a safe assumption. When you are the prohibitive underdog, smart coaches will try to use as much clock as possible to make it a shorter game. Stitt's huge ego and inflexibility to run anything but the hurry-up will likely result in an ugly result and give UW several extra possessions they wouldn't get if we used the clock wisely. When the Griz play teams like Valpo and Savannah State is is wise to run the hurry-up to get more possessions and total plays as eventually JLM and other talented guys will bust a big plays if given more opportunities. I've never understood why severe underdogs run the hurry-up, especially with a lead, like Indiana had on Ohio State. They were actually winning and still ran the hurry-up. Why? Make the game shorter, and the underdog has a better chance to pull the upset, something that Stitt and other dumb coaches don't seem to understand.

When teams that run the hurry up exclusively try to "milk the clock", they tend to look disjointed and out of sorts on offense....it's not as easy as just slowing things down.
