UC Davis @ #7 Montana Game Thread

WOW, JJ should have never thrown into double coverage. Jones is the man again!!!

 

[Fushiznitz]

Yay

 

[mtgrizrule]

This is good to see. JJ has tons of confidence in Jones. Are we finding another go to guy?

 

[GrizGuy]

Wow, that's more like it. Maybe they've already thrown off the cobwebs and this thing can get rolling the way I expected it to.

Go Griz!

not the best ball by JJ

 

[grizindabox]

Wilson missed the block

THANK YOU JJ!!

Why did Davis take a timeout before the pat?

 

[Walrus]

Drink every time they say "circus catch". If Jamaal Jones is in the 2nd, you're gonna have a good time.

Why is Greenberg & Lider kicking? I thought Mick was going to pick a kicker and stick with him.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Sweet, JJ scrambles for a TD MONTANA!!!!! Nice answer offense. He looked good running too. His ankle looks healthy to me, just can be easily tweaked. A couple surprises this game, we are not running away from UCD and offensive play calling has been solid.

I don't like the tie score, but really hard for me to find much problem with the offensive coaching so far. It is a matter of executing more consistently. Defensively, I have faith TG will make good halftime adjustments.

Where is Sullivan today? I can't find an earlier post.

Why not? The way they've moved the ball, if they get a good runback ...

Edit: Okay, that didn't happen.

Apparently injured

 

[mtgrizrule]

Sullivan is injured or sick. Wahlberg mentioned it in another thread.

But the pat is an untimed down. Seemed like a waste.

I think Davis had too many men on the field on the PAT before the timeout.

 

[Sylvester76]

Sometimes it takes a little time to get the rhythm after a bye week. I would still bet money th griz leave this game is with a W.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Despite a tie score at the half, I am not very worried. It is a matter of the players executing better in the 2nd half. Really the offense is not that far off this game. The OL is playing better. JJ and his WRs have been a little off today. Thankfully, Jones has stepped up with big catches after his 1st drop.

Defensively, hard for me to imagine Manzanares to control the game as much as the 1st half. Hermanson had his 1st bad half of football this year. He is a SR, I feel he can bring his game back up.

My main concern is them owning our front 7 in the second quarter. Not many teams have controlled our front 7 like that,so the odds are in our favor of that improving.

I still have faith the GRIZ will pull away in the 2nd half.

You're right. My bad ... typed too quick. Brain-fart by the coaches?

Unless it looked like the Griz might try a surprise 2-point conversion, can't see why you'd need time to adjust your personnel. BTHOM.
