I question whether our O can score enough points to stay with either of these teams. We think our D is great and they are very good but without an offense putting some points on the board we could be in for a long day.
The Cats got another great QB. And both these teams have good receivers. The Griz sure don't have a lock on talent anymore.
Griz offense scored 3 less pts against UND than msu did on the road vs at home, and With a b/u ab. With out our prime receiver and te out. But let's not let logic enter our thought process, let's just be miserable and hopeless and blame coaches.
I don't think I mentioned coach once in this post. I am neither miserable or hopeless. My point, if you will stop looking through rose colored glasses long enough to read it, was that we have not played a strong passing team yet. As good as our defense is, we will give up yards and probably points to a strong passing team. UND was moving the ball pretty well against our nickel defense today if you recall. Imagine that happening all afternoon. Will we get a good rush on their QB, probably. Will we shut done their running game? Probably. But I think you are kidding yourself if you think we will shut down these passing games. We do not have the power running game to control the game at this point in time. Nor do we know if we will have our best receivers back. None of this means I don't hope for the best and the offense really comes together. I am simply looking at it objectively.
This was one game, and an ugly game. But I am being totally rational and objective when I see us having difficulty when we play the teams with dynamic offenses. I really hope we have all our players back and I
