I was in Fargo for the game last year, and Wentz didn't look all that comfortable to me.

He looked pretty comfy during his first championship. Guess he just needed to win a few more games first.

That and he didn't have Zach W. and Tyrone H. on his ass.

You had zero sacks in last years game.

You're right. Hard to get sacks when the QB hands off every play...
Though I'll admit your current QB can actually throw unlike the previous one. :ugeek:

9 minutes is forever in football. Each team could score multiple times in that amount of clock.

Better watch the Herd play a little more. It's normal for them to make 6-9 minute drives.

Normal?

Iowa State: 1 - Ended in a punt (and was the first drive of the game)
Weber State: 1 - Ended in a FG
Incarnate Word: 0 - As you would expect
Montana: 1 - Ended in a FG (as did most of their drives :x )
Western Ill: 1 - Ended in a FG
SIU: 0
Indiana St: 3 - FG, Missed FG, TD
SDSU: 1 - Ended in TD
USD: 1 - Ended in a TD
UNI: 0 - In fact, only had 175 total yards of offense (hope Gregorak has watched that game film!)
Missouri St: 1 - Ended in TD
YSU: 0
SDSU (Playoffs): 0
Coastal (Playoffs): 1 - Ended in FG
SHSU (playoffs): 1 - Ended in TD (interestingly, they had 4 3/outs in first six drives of that game)
Ill St (NC): 0

So, 12 TOTAL, in a season where they probably had 195 possessions. And interestingly, half ended in FG attempts, not TD's...

a) doesn't mean they weren't all over his ass
b) your guys held every play :mrgreen:[/quote]

If they were all over his ass as you say, you think you could have inked out at least one sack. I will admit you had very few chances to sack Wentz, because we were averaging six yards a carry, so why would we put it in the air if we don't have too. That is the single biggest key for the Griz to win this year.....slow down our running game and you should have a great chance at the W, but if we are averaging 5+ yards a carry it could get real ugly and your new high octane offense will be watching from the sidelines for the majority of the game.
 
Yep. High octane is meaningless if the engine can't get started. The O has got to be able to put some drives together.
 
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this new O that the Griz are gonna put out on the field. Especially since hearing of how Stitt is an offensive guru of sorts. It sounds like something we have never faced before, although it has to be somewhat similiar to the spread and just add in the propensity to go for it on fourth down a lot more. I envision Stitts offense like Loyola Marymounts fast break offense in basketball back when they had Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers.....just run and gun all out all the time! This is gonna be a fun game......damn I love football!! Is it Saturday yet??!!

Don't judge his offense based on what you see Saturday. He's just gettin' started....
