Davis wins. Tough luck to all the people who thought Idaho was the thing. I assume they are good or fine, but not great. I'm not sure if anyone is great at this point of the season.
 
I'd say SDSU is legit. Not enough data on the rest.

I'm entertained by Texas' & Oklahoma's tough sledding upon playing a week in week out SEC schedule so far. If I had to place a bet I honestly think Tennessee is the legit top dog there.

If Montana could do two things they'd be much more fearsome:
-stop the conservative playcalling in the 2nd half (although I saw improvement there tonight).
-wave a magic wand and fix the special teams.

I don't think there's any fix, magical or otherwise, for the defense.

This offense is the real deal and it might be better under Fife. When the playcalling is there, it rolls.

South Dakota looked pretty legit today too.
 
I just got so tired of looking at him last year during couple Griz games (upset at home in '22 and the tight '23 game).

Sometimes Scripps Sports just wears me out on how they get stuck on narrative points and keep on keeping on talking about things. With Idaho it's talking the hot new coach leading a resurgent program.

Maybe it's just me.

They really weren't in control though. That's the thing. If Eastern had been able to recover the second onside kick, It's quite likely that they would have won the game. The Griz defense was not able to stop eastern's offense at all during the second half. The Griz finally got a lucky break when the second onside went out of bounds. That's not being in control.

I’d say they were in control until the surprise (to the coaches) kick. Then they absolutely were not. Instead they scored just enough and as DBM said, if they get the last one, they win. Funny how someone that played the game doesn’t understand that in-game momentum is real.

Question for you both: What are the odds of two successful onside kicks in the same game by the same team?

I understand your point but considering how the special teams unit was playing last night, I'm not sure the odds were actually in our favor. In any case, my point was simply that hoops was wrong when he said the Griz were in control. It should have never come down to three points and an onside kick.

As Harm said in this thread, it's already been done. Sac State did it a few years ago

Pretty disappointed that our coaches did not have the team ready for the EWU successful onside kick. Especially with our history in Cheney. This special team error reminded me of the fake punt blunder against NDSU last year. Both those plays completely got EWU and NDSU back into the games.

And the history of falling VICTIM to the onside kick, remember what Suck State did a couple years ago, Two, back to freaking back onside kicks!! You’d think a team in such a position as EWU was, of course they’d try an onside kick to steal a possession. Frankly I’m surprised they didn’t try it...

while I don't always agree with Hoops he was not wrong when he said Griz were in control..they were there was never any doubt.
