Pot calling the kettle black eh? The same teams that the Griz play must turn into SEC caliber teams the day the Griz play them. That's why you barely escaped UND?

Statistically the cats and the Griz had similar numbers on both offense and defense against UND. Scorewise, the main differences in the games were the Cats defense with a pic-6 against UND, and UND with pick-6 against the Griz.
The cat's offense has looked very good the last 2 weeks, but they played in perfect 90 degree weather in California. Against UND, the Cat's offense looked very mortal when played in Montana under somewhat adverse conditions.
Things will change between now and the Brawl, but right now it is shaping up to be a very good game.
UND had a fumble recovery returned for a TD against the Cats also.
