Official Game Day Thread - Playoffs Round 1

Hey, if Logan can hold onto the damn ball next week, and Jr. can bust one or two, Riley and Hayden each get a sack, and Treyvn gets another pick, we could pull off the upset !!!

Yes, Logan starts next week, and ball security for obvious reasons will be a big focus in practice this week !!!

DII football at it's finest. OMG both teams suck.

 

[SoCal Surfer]

The Griz wore down the TSU defense in 2nd half.

Hope we can hold our own next week. I don' t think we wear them down.

Yeah, I’ve really been leaning into my FBS team and pro team this season. Griz have been a real disappointment

 

[Griz Addict]

Griz get trucked next week.

Idk SDSU had that weird game against Augustana. They didn't look very good in that game, so gives me some hope. And the fact we have some familiarity with their team and a grudge to hold, fairs well imo. I think it'll be closer than what a lot of people expect.

If it wasn't for turning over the ball 3 times, 1 of which was what? On the 2 yard line? This game would have been a lot uglier for TSU.

So like 3 touchdowns

 

[billingsgriz]

We can wear them down, Surfer, if we can give them a big dose of Gilman, Fonoti, and Rocker and keep their D on the field but the only way that happens is if our O line can open up some holes !!!

I know we are big underdogs, but we do have a shot at the upset !!!

 

[SoCal Surfer]

First time this season I thought the coaching was very good. The staff had the team working as a unit.

Pease did a good job calling the game.

MVC refs
I'll be typing that a lot tonight

The refs had no influence on the outcome but if that is a MVC crew, we have nothing to bitch about in the Big Sky.

I thought you got timed out? Isn't there something about being complete crap? Who won?

 

[Grisette]

I hope so, I personally feel he still gives us the best chance to win next week. AhYat didn't even throw the ball once (outsid

 

[Grizmed]

Unfortunately we're going to lose, and it won't be either QB's fault.

 

[GrizTexas]

I vote we should play the game anyway!

 

[SoCal Surfer]

The Griz playing many red shirts and others was a good move. They contributed and were able to showcase their skills. I like it.

100%. I almost left at halftime during the 2009 game. Glad I didn't.

Anything can happen in a FB game. Bad/good calls, bad/good bounces of a ball, a team getting hot, turn overs, special team play, to name a few.

I'm cheering for the Griz to win and make a good showing.

Let's make a memory.

I’ve been sitting in the shadows following posts on egriz for awhile. How does Pease not get Bergen and Harris involved from the get go. Two most dynamic players on the team. It’s pathetic… Xavier is a game changer. Bergen, obviously.

 

[PTGrizzly]

Well…it was a lot like like last years playoffs, just with a crappier defense! Bergen saves the team, again!

Oh, I agree, and appreciate your optimism. But I think if you look objectively, and on balance, SDSU, MSU, and NDSU are playing much higher caliber football than the rest of the FCS this year. I also don't think it will matter much who we play at QB in terms of losing or winning the game.
