NAU Lumberjacks scouting report

Well…. IMHO if we don't win this game, the NDSU victory will be declared a fluke, and the sentiment around the land would be that we are really 0-4!
NAU always gives us fits.
 
Couldn't disagree more, while a loss to NAU would damaging, and certainly would prove this team is not a playoff contender at this point, anyone who would say the Griz didn't really win against NDSU and are actually 0-4 is either A VERY UNINTELLIGENT PERSON, is named Growler or needs professional help. A win is a win, is a win, is a win. PERIOD. Oh, except when it's the Griz I guess #Egrizlogic

At Liberty we ran 3 offensive plays and we were down 14 zip. That does not = "great defense"

Yet for rest of the game they for the most part kept Liberty in check. There is not 1 game the defense lost the game for the GRIZ. If the offense had done their part against Liberty and Poly we would not even be discussing this nonsense. Stitt is not blaming the defense. He has taken it upon himself for the offense to do what is expected and to clean things up. The defense is the reason the GRIZ have been "in" position to win those games. The defense has improved drastically the last few years. Just a few years ago, teams were passing all over the field against our defense. Running teams were dominating the defense. Both kinds of teams were putting up ridiculous numbers.

I am sure more GRIZ fans would side with me on this one, regarding the defense.

I respectfully disagree. The first two drives against LU count. Griz D gave up 31 points, not awful but not great.

You really took me that seriously? Just being facetious, my friend! 8-)
 
We better be able to control the line of scrimmage vs. NAU. There offensive line is small and the D-line is even smaller. Both defensive ends are 6-2 and 230 and the two starting tackles are 280 and 265. No wonder they got run over by Arizona. It will help if Chalich can keep the back side end or linebacker honest with a few runs from the read option. I think part of the problem with BG was that the D did not think he was enough of a running threat to keep them honest.

Scores in the red zone would've won the last two games and did win the first one. We must see an improvement here. I thought about that all the way home from the liberty game. IF they would have scored every time they hit the red zone, Griz win. I am confident coach stitt will get that straightened out. GO GRIZ! Oh yah, and improve the kicking game. Got to have the points when you can get them.

Hell, if they'd scored HALF the time they hit the red zone they'd have won that game.

I thought that Cookus was a true freshman??

He is - greyshirted at a JuCo and transferred to NAU in the summer, considered a true freshman with the chance still to use a red shirt.

Probably the best post so far. The two Griz weaknesses so far are D-Line and O-Line. Somethings got to change for this team to improve. We'll see. Check the Griz O's rushing output this game. Check The Griz D's run defense. That'l be the story in this contest....
 
Got a hot tip. Cookus is for sure playing.

Griz D-Line is FAR from the weakest part of the team. SMH. Tyrone Holmes will be added to the new Buck watch list when it comes out, Crittenden and Kidder have already locked up All-Conference honors three games in. I can think of 20 different things (mostly stealing from AZgriz's list) that are more wrong with the Griz than the D-Line.
 
It is difficult to understand how little has been done to remedy our lack of talent in certain positions. We really don't have NAIA level talent at running back or OL.
