Finally had a chance to watch the Poly-Cats game and had a few observations:
- the Cats offense looked good and was very efficient scoring almost every time they had the ball
- CP was so worried about Prukop running they bit on everything and the Cats receivers were so wide open even I could have had a high QB rating
- cats had a well executed fake punt early in the first that helped them go up 14-0 (kind of a new risk-taking Ash we are seeing)
- the Cats defense did nothing the Griz didn't do....in fact they did worse.....they gave up 25 first downs, 406 yards, and 28 points compared to the Griz who gave up 19 first downs, 386 yards, and 20 points
- the key difference is the Cats scored almost at will where the Griz struggled to find points which led to a pretty convincing Cats win
- cats took care of the football with no turnovers, the Griz had 4
- cats had 1 penalty for 10 yards, the Griz had 6 for 54
- another key difference is this defensive performance has Cats fans ecstatic and talking about how they may be "scary" good whereas e-griz thought the sky was falling and that our defense was awful and that Gregorak should be fired
Perspective is a funny thing sometimes....with the main factor being they got a win and felt great about it. We shot ourselves in the foot and lost and you would have thought the season ended.
That's why you just win baby. Winning makes it all better and makes everything look and seem better whether it is or not.
