The Savior of the Griz offense.

Six rainbow touchdown throws against NDU made him look like the savior of the Griz offense. Three interceptions in the first quarter against PSU revealed his immaturity more than his "zany" conduct on the sidelines between picks. Three more errant passes bounced off the hands of PSU defenders and a couple of muffed hand-offs may have been due to the typhoon conditions in Portland. Makema Simis has the skill set to be a starting quarterback but I'm not sure 2015 is the year. After waiting the entire first half for him to “keep” on the zone read I began questioning his internal fortitude. That's probably the result of unrealistic expectations. Nonetheless the Griz have been mortally wounded and the questions and criticisms that swirled before Makema Simis' ascension to Olympus will begin again. Coach Ty Gregoraks' defense yielded to a well-conceived offense but surely prevented a rout of embarrasing proportions. I question the wisdom of hiring former coach Mick Delaney to do color commentary. His remarks aren't always insightful and often disparaging to the current coaching philosophy. He may be right but it makes for awkward viewing. Congrats to all the Griz players who made succesful contributions to todays team effort.
 
Hard to judge how good or bad the quarterback play is with the offensive line they put out on the field. The staff needs to get some JC kids in or some drop downs on the O-line for next season. They have a couple nice verbals but you never know how that stuff plays out.

Simis had enough time to throw the ball. He threw it into the hands of PSU; no tips, poor decision!
 
Pukup didn't do much better today in the interception department. Griz did fine. A bad day in the rain. That's all. Bad situation for a passing team, great situation for a running team. That's that.

That's why you have a running game. This just in: Somedays it rains.

No time or schollies for that; concentrating on WRs who can catch the ball. Need about 10 more because half of the ones we have are in the doghouse for drops.
