Now it gets real.
We were all hoping to be 3-1 coming into this one and that's where we are so bully for that. It's apparent that the BSC has some parity this year, and not just in the middle of the pack as it has been lately. Davis, Weber, Cats, Griz, EWU despite shitting the bed yesterday, and even Sac State look to be legit contenders and able to handle themselves in the big picture, which means there won't be many if any mulligans allowed to get to the playoffs from this bunch.
Hard to say how much to take out of yesterday's game. We sold out to stop to the elite rusher and it cost us in the passing game...but we didn't seem to get to the QB in obvious passing situations even sending the whole horde either, so there has to be some concern there. Offensively we were fine as usual, started a little slow but picked it up as the game went on, Knight has really stepped up and runs hard as nails, and Ostmo never disappoints when given the ball. We'll see how it goes next week, NDSU ran for 200 on them so we might be able to do some work there.
To me the whole season up to now has seemed scripted, there was some doubt going into South Dakota but the next 3 games were easily decided in my mind before ever hitting the field, the only question was what we would be able to do and how well. I'm jacked to get to the meat of the schedule and start seeing where we are, haven't felt any Saturday anxiety yet but next week will be different. Also just to note I hate games that fall between two big games like yesterday, you always have to wonder what the intensity will be like on tweeners and like someone else said even the crowd seemed "meh" leaving like we had got our asses kicked. Glad to get through that one.
Go Griz!
