Did you know he's from Missoula ? The radio crew made sure to emphasize that on their call--they're probably a little butt hurt after today's Autzen beat down. : ( !!!TD. Kittens. Adam Jones - run.
But not a very good defense.Two things stood out to me even in this mismatched game. 1. They have a very solid QB 2. Taco is going to be a problem
Next week they have S Dakota State at Home... Real questions will be answeredThat was an ass kicking. But I don’t think Griz fans should read too much into it. Oregon is really good. Top 5 in my opinion. Really good coach and super talented. I think after last years tight game with Idaho and their earlier than hoped exit from playoffs they came into this game very motivated. I don’t think this game gave us much indication good or bad where the Cats will be. Not a fair barometer in my opinion.

This years Oregon team makes that team with Herbert look like a mountain west team talent wise. Their talent profile is in a truly elite level now. They essentially let their starters play one drive into the 3rd quarter, so their backups still kept it rolling. They didn’t punt, or have a negative play all day. Scored on every drive except when they took victory formation. Really impressive, even against an inferior opponent. Clinical.To be fair nobody in the FCS is going to compete against a top 5 Oregon team better than this. Right?
Seem to remember a Griz team going to Autzen and holding Justin Herbert and the ducks to 35. Yeah we only scored 3, but we at least put up a damn fight with around 250 yards of offense, 12 first downs, 1 turnover. We did have 7 penalties for 79 yards though.
The ducks finished that year as #5 in the polls, PAC-12 champs and won the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin. Teams such Colorado, Washington,Washington State,USC, and Utah gave up as many points as the Griz and the ducks beat Arizona 34-6.
And we all remember 2021. Them’s just the facts kitty cats.
