I agree with most on here that the griz this year are loaded with talent. We have players everywhere and with JJ back it is easy to be very optimistic about griz football this year. However, talent doesn’t always mean championships. There has been much off field drama as well as installing a new offense, new offensive coordinator and god bless MD but I’m not sure he is the guy to get us to the bsc championship let alone the chipper. I think the cats will also be a fine team but they also have a few insurmountable weaknesses. DM is a great athlete but he does not handle the pressure well. Their O-line although improved is still not championship caliber and their defense is looking pretty thin, especially their front seven.
My bold prediction is that neither the cats nor griz holds a share of the bsc crown. This just may be the year that NAU, SSU or EWU will reach out and take it. Also look for PSU or UCD to make noise by taking out a couple of the top tier BSC teams and mix things up a bit.
