Bobcats definitely look like the better team. We will see come November though. Bobcats may be one dimensional but we were no dimensional last night. Ugly loss, exposed us badly. Our defense is awful against the pass. Any QB that can throw will light them up. I blame Stitt for his non recruiting of DBs. And our O line and Dline both got man handled. Looked like we were playing Clemson or something. Thank god we won't have to play another team like Sac St again till playoffs. If we make it. We may have just had an off day though. I feel like bye weeks really take momentum away. Unless your team is doing badly then it really helps. Griz got caught sleeping yesterday and we folded. Looked like the only players playing with heart were Sneed, Knight, JLM, Olson, and Lewis. Looked like the Griz pulled an all nighter getting trashed before the game. Definitely the worst effort on the year. Hopefully they pull their heads out their ass and get back to dominating. Last night we looked like a high school team vs an FBS team. It was ugly. Oh and we are f***[*] if Sneed doesn't get healthy. If he ends up missing more games I guarantee we will lose all those games. Badly.
I don't agree. The Cats don't look so great, in my view. They are good or pretty good. They struggle at the qb position. Perhaps the worst game of the year, but not the worst effort. The effort looked fine, if not good. I didn't notice any player not providing maximum effort.
There were just a huge number of plays that SS won and UM didn't. The "interception" at end of the half was huge. I still think the ball hit the ground as the receiver stretched to get it, but, even if not, it was a lucky play. It was a 7, 10 or 14 point turn around at a critical time of the game. It was 3d and 6 from UM 26, with the score 28-15. Intercepted at the 44, and returned 16. SS drive started with 49 seconds to go. Then it was 35-15. Huge difference and momentum swing.
I take nothing away from SS. They are good and played very well. They have nice talent.
