The passing game will be very good
Who will be passing and why is it a given he’ll be very good? :?
Whoever the quarterback is...both Humphery and Brown have done really well this spring. And before you poo poo the Viks, you have to play them. Anyway, we outscored ( I think) our opponents 107-10
I've watched the two spring games twice now (I used to watch all the games live) and I would suggest to the cat fan above you watch the two spring games to answer your questions, otherwise you're just getting someone's impression, which is what I'll offer in my points:
I agree with Payton and Kemajic about the secondary, they make this Griz a completely different animal. As of now, we have a two-deep of really hard-hitting cornerbacks and safeties that are confident and anticipate. Some are FBS transfers. You can look all that up on your own if you're interested.
This is NOT the same roster from two years ago. For whatever reason, our transfers gelled on this team and our youngins' are showing up. Ford, Cotton, and Onu just at cornerback....are you kidding? This is where we've been plugging in random receivers the last four years. We'll see how it all plays out, but this is one of the most talented and deepest secondaries we've had in some time...On a side note, Autjoe Soe, the freshman looks like a stud already! Love his attitude...which leads me to...
Depth. This is the deepest team we've had in a long while, most positions don't drop off much. Trying to respond to the cat posts, the o-line is the best we've had for some time...in recent memory, since at least Phlugrad's last year. We'll see, but the Nebraska center was a big addition. Our o-line is great in pass rushing. They didn't run the ball that well against CWU, then came out and dominated PSU on both sides of the ball. It's actually pretty cool to see how there's a pretty blurry line between ones and twos at many of the position groups on this team. These spring games were a great chance to adjust our depth chart and see the depth on this team.
I don't predict records, but I haven't seen this kind of 2-3 deep talent on the Griz since too long...and they are well coached. Bobby let's his coaches take care of things and interjects when he wants. Fun team to watch. I think there are some future NFLers on this team. And for the Cat fans concerned why this Griz team will be good, sometimes it's how you feel. Maybe your new coach will strike gold right off the bat. Maybe you'll beat us. But yeah, you can't really compare this team to the one almost two years ago. They've developed exactly how you'd hope. I don't care about projections, but watching Montana football for 30 years, I'd be a little surprised if this team isn't right up there at the end of the playoffs.
