Griz vs NAU

Griz - 38

Lider field goal from 55 yards out to put the icing on a near perfect game!

GO GRIZ!!!

Lider couldn't hit a 55 yarder with a gun to his head, and will most likely be watching this one from home.

Haha, I meant worst and typed Lider. You are correct though, Lider is terrible! So correction, Worst will hit a 55 yarder.
 
Saw the NAU/USD game last week, USD defense held up pretty good 1st half. Filled gaps & had pressure. Don't know what happend @ half-time, but USD didn't look the same. That's when Bauman started getting his yards, through unchecked gaps & out of backfield passes. NAU QB Poe was rattled when pressure came, & made some mistakes. NAU defense kept them in the game. Pressure from the corners & some blitzes. I did notice though, NAU middle was mostly open throughout the game. If I were Offensive coordinator, I think I would be exposing that area quite a bit. The only really good secondary man was Lucky Dosier, For NAU. Without him a QB would have a field day! That said, I think if GRIZ front give JJ time, he will burn their secondary, maybe not all the time, But with the running combo, he'll keep them guessing.....
 
After watching their last game and looking back over the other two, I don't see any reason our boys couldn't pitch a shut out. Their offense is impotent having only scored 3 TDs. They appear to have a solid defense that has scored as many TDs as their O. I honestly don't see a way the good guys don't win this. I'm going to say Griz win 31-0.

Barring turn-overs that turn into points, which no one can predict, I think the Griz at least have a chance to pitch a shut-out. And, for no good reason, I'm thinking the guys get a pick-six after the D-Line stuffs the run game and the desperation passing starts. (Again, no reason whatsoever, just a feeling.)

On the other hand, their D is not bad and at home, so I do not see the Griz putting up giant numbers. I'm thinking more in the lines of 24-3.
 
Pissing away that 24-7 lead last year had to leave a bad taste, I think this will be Revenge Game III...Good Guys 38 Baumann and Co. 20
 
The Griz are one of the best teams in the nation, as I said pre-season, and as the polls are starting to get a clue.

The punch-you-in-the-face tour continues this coming weekend, NAU is in trouble.

:egriz:
 
I'm notoriously bad with predictions, but I'll go with 38-14.

Bauman had 153 yards vs. South Dakota! He won't do that against the Griz. Surprising that USD kept it so close! Is USD that good or is NAU over-rated? We'll see this weekend, with a nice and rested 1st string.

Griz 45
NAU 17

Go GRIZ!!!

NAU is overrated......USD is terrible right now!
 
I'm honestly worried that since we now have a field goal option, our offensive play-calling is going to become more conservative as the season rolls on. Has anyone else thought this? We need to keep playing for touchdowns like we've been doing (minus OPSU obviously). I think the main reason the offense has looked so sharp is they know that they need to get it done and not rely on a kicker

Probably won't factor in for this game, but it could be an issue down the road
Griz 44 (3 Worst FG's)
NAU 17

I think the opposite. When you have the ability to get points from farther out, it can make you more aggressive. Having that safety net lets you open the playbook and it relieves pressure on the offense allowing for easier play. This is of course a two edged sword, but having the ability to still gain points opens more willingness to try for the big play.

Good points...makes me feel better. Like you said, its probably a little bit of both, and it doesn't hurt to have a good kicker when you really need him
