I started a similar thread but this PSU one is getting the action so I will just post my thoughts in here.
After watching alot of the Cal Poly vs PSU game, I fully expect our Griz to have their hands full with the Viks. I always thought the abbreviation of Vikings was the Vikes, but who am I to judge what it says on their jerseys. They have a very talented team on offense, and their receiver number 1 is a huge concern for me, he is big, strong and fast and there is no way that Goodwin can cover him 1 on 1 on deep balls.
Their quarterback runs and throws and the way our d ends and backers kept getting sucked inside we may have trouble defending him on option plays. Remember that Pflugrad play where the quarterback ran to the outside then threw a lateral to the wideout, I saw PSU run that play for yardage at least 3 times.
I am not sure about their pass defense as Poly does not throw much, but they did give up a few huge pass plays when their safeties got sucked up to the line.
Having the home field should help the Griz out to beat PSU, but I am thinking it will be a close game, might come down to a field goal. Good thing Worst is our kicker now.
I hope our line can fix the problems from last week, I think PSU will blitz plenty, we need to take advantage of the 5 to 10 yard pass and get some yards after catch.
Hopefully the Griz can bounce back after a big conference loss, they don't have much of a choice because if they lose every game from here on out becomes a must win. Let's put the negativity of the Saturday night behind us and hope it is just a speed bump like the Sacramento State game was a couple seasons ago. GO GRIZ!!
