Griz vs Idaho State game day

They seem to when playing the Griz…

If the defense plays like the did tonight vs our remaining opponents they all will. There's alot to be happy about tonight's gritty performance, but at the same time there are some definite issues that need addressing, they're not mutually exclusive.
 
Something about Holt Arena games. Just a freakishly difficult place to win. We can complain all we want about the defense, but it is the offensive line that got manhandled all night. They were flat out terrible. How many 2nd and 12s did we have? Team showed incredible toughness when they were on their heels most of the night. Great escape … great win.

Agreed. Watching the vaunted Griz rushing game get stuffed for 3 quarters was rough. I’m glad the Griz have awesome playmakers on the outside that carried the day. And Ah Yat. That kid had a hell of a day. We saw him mature with ND, but winning a shootout like this is another giant leap in his development. He totally reminds me of Marcus Mariota when he was at Oregon. I’m not saying he is on that level (don’t come at me) just that he is cool as a cucumber when the pressures on.

Another thing: when the D brings 6 on the blitz, they leave the spot where ALL the linebackers just were wide open. It was easy money all day. I get that those WRs are fantastic, but holy hell. The defense definitely needs a “come to Jesus” talk. Giving up 421 in the air is insane no matter how you slice it. Glad they got the W and pulled it out.

Boils down to our inability to get to the QB. Send the house and STILL don’t get to the QB. That doesn’t bode well for pass coverage—even WITH Loud on the field…
