I didn't think the Cats would stay with Weber today, given they lost 3 linemen last week, Ortt is still out, Ifanse out, Chambers out....etc, etc, etc. But this is a deep, talented, well coached (CDA, are you reading this?) team and today they were lucky as hell. What a fantastic job by the O line, minus the dozen false starts. Here's some of your comments from earlier. When you can run the ball, everything else gets better!
Cats are in a bad way. They are not designed to play well from behind. / The Cats have been behind soooo many times this year, typically after giving up big plays.
Call me crazy, but rushing with your QB every third play is probably not exactly a sustainable offensive strategy, eh? Especially when he's the backup. / That 'backup' just had over 400 years of offense & 4 td's. When you're down to your last couple running backs, don't have Chambers, and are playing the most important game on your schedule, you play to win. Chambers is back next game after the bye week. Perfect time for a bye week. Would have loved to have seen Chambers today.
Lol. Closed captioning just said the ‘scats are sending out the “funeral unit”. Could anything be more appropriate than THAT? / Yes. Weber's performance in Bozeman today. I wouldn't want to play Weber next week.
And just like that, cats are back in it. Amazing what a running game can do for a team. / Run the damn ball. How many high school O lineman are watching this MSU team week after week running the ball and sucking the soul out of the defense? Success running the ball breeds successful recruiting breeds success on the field.
The Weber State depth on both sides of the ball is going to be apparent by the end of this one. / Weber was healthy too. How 'bout them Bobcats!
…weber is joke…
…a really bad one… / I sincerely hope this post makes it to the Weber locker room this week as they prepare for their next game.
2nd half:
It’s pouring rain in Bozo, which I’m sure has something to do with it / Ding! Ding! Ding! That field was a disaster. Glad it's not....oh shit. It's snowing. Welcome to Bozeman.
Not only 8 extra points but gifting them 4 extra offensive possessions. Weber is a joke…..some guru Jay Hill is. / UM would be lucky to have a coach like Jay Hill & Cats didn't get any extra possessions from the safety's. Weber was punting all 4 flubs - Cats would have got the ball anyway. Instead they got great field position, 8 points, and momentum.
Cats o-line is very young...and their running game is explosive and elite. How can they possibly recruit that position group so well? / Great coaches with connections who know how to recruit, program success, game atmosphere, a fantastic university, an even better college town, Waded's support. Commitment to running the ball. I could go on but it's top secret stuff.
The one dimensional cats offense absolutely schooled the heralded weber defense. / This, and I'm as surprised as you are. Didn't see this one coming today.
The Kitties have an identity and execute it very well. Credit where it’s due, they’re good at what they do / Yepper.
And...their identity is built for the playoffs / This. Run the ball, tough D, run the ball, rush 4 lineman successfully, run the ball, tough D, and throw an occasional 80/20 ball
I am going to laugh my ass off if Weber comes back and wins this. / You should probably focus on not crying later this evening.
It's going to be a big play, Weber state just outlasts people with their depth. / Deeper today than the Cats for sure. It turns out the big play was a dropped pass on their last possession. Sloppy field, sloppy game. I hope these 2 get to play again this year. In Bozeman, in a blizzard.
Between the receivers and the long snapper weber was on the take......Tommy is the real deal. / Glad MSU has him. Gotta feel for that poor long snapper.
Mellott had 273 rushing 140 passing that’s 400 yards of total offense 4 tds, against #5 in nation on a wet sloppy day. He sucks glad we don’t have him, NOT. Lol That was a great game to watch unlike last week here. / Best and most accurate post of the bunch. Peace out Egrizzers, now go beat Sac!!
