Lets go O keep the pressure on
Colorado Mesa's defense looked better than ND. ND doesn't have a defense. Colter Nuanez's take:
A few talking points...
- This was Montana State's first shutout since 2006
- MSU is now 18-0 under Ash when the defense scores
- In his first start, a 59-10 win over Division II Fort Lewis, DeNarius McGhee completed 11-of-17 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Bleskin was 26-of-35 for 305 yards and two touchdowns.
— MSU's offensive line blocking scheme is predicated on "hat-on-a-hat" and uses zone, trap and counter principles. It's much easier to operate and execute the blocking scheme when teams run a base defense. Mesa did not line up in the same front on consecutive possessions on Saturday. Sometimes they didn't have a single down linemen. For a player like Matt Devereux making his third career start, that's tough to make calls. Then add in there's a quarterback making his first start, it's even tougher. In 2011, the OL thrived and overachieved because their schemes were so complex. They were running their own audibles at the line of scrimmage every single run play based on alignments. When you can't count off the front, you can't identify players like the Mike or the SS, it's insanely hard. Then you factor in Mesa was running a 3-3-5 and bringing pressure from every single spot, of course MSU had a hard time adjusting.
— Just because it's a Division II team, doesn't mean the scheme is less challenging. The athletes aren't as good, but the schemes are equally as tricky. Bleskin has been going against the exact same base MSU defense for the past two seasons. When he hasn't been up against MSU's scheme (a very vanilla scheme without many frills that MSU executes incredibly because they have excellent athletes and fundamentals) he's been up against the scout team, a bunch of freshmen trying to replicate opponents' defense. No team MSU will face from here on out will run a scheme like Mesa's.
— There's a slew of schemes in football. They all work well if you execute them properly. That's why people run them. The key to football is out-executing the other team on every play. Nothing more, nothing less. You can talk about athletes and talent, but what winning a national title comes down to is having the proper personnel to fit your scheme and executing that scheme relentlessly without flaw.
— Perez doesn't miss that 39-yard FG and MSU doesn't inexplicably call a fake with a holder who's played the spot for less than a week (WTF?) and MSU probably scores twice more. MSU doesn't sit Cody Kirk for the majority of the second half and the rushing stats aren't so lowly.
— If you think Montana State didn't dominate today, think again. The defense had 13 tackles for loss. Taylor Sheridan had 11 tackles as a nose tackle. Daly had five sacks with a bum back. The defense allowed 168 yards. The Bobcats allowed 2.2 yards per play and didn't allow a completed pass in the second quarter. Last season, MSU "slid past" Chadron State. Everyone was losing it after that. But your team just won a game by four touchdowns and pitched their first shutout under Ash in a game where the face of your program, one of the most iconic players in the FCS didn't play.

Touchback. Griz start the drive at the 20 yard line. Time to go 8/8 on offensive drives!

Yeah, why take the risk with Canada and JJ. They obviously weren't going for the score. Why not take a knee?mikegriz said:
