1. Much improved O-Line play
2. No deep shots
3. Open the play book a little
4. Fans returning for last half.
Go Griz

No deep shots, but open the playbook? Isn't that a conflict?
I'm not understanding when you have the speed in Bohannon and Davis, in particular, why you would not want to try to exploit that, but maybe I'm missing something.
It is an annual thing that actually predates the current stadium that people meander in out of the tailgate after halftime, so that seems to be beating a dead horse. The best hope is that we win the coin toss and defer, then sustain a long drive to get the butts back in the seats in time for the defense to take the field.

I think he's referring to the defense not giving up any deep shots.

I agree. If you get the running game going they start loading the box, and that sets it up some one on one for the outside receivers. Keali 'i lis spinning the ball pretty nicely right now, and against ISU is a great time to use it. Plus, this young core of receivers need the experience.

The term "no deep shots", if applied to Griz defense, implies the Griz can affect ISU's play choices. If what is meant is "no long completions" then that is something completely different and what we certainly hope for.

Since it is sandwiched between two offensive wishes, I took it to be on the same subject line, but if it wasn't, it surely was not clear that it was meant as a defensive comment. Seeing how UND's first score was on a long pass play though, it is a most valid point to not give up the deep ball again.
 
The Griz are four touchdown favorites. They just need to play cleanly early and that will create the opportunity to play the key backups to get them game experience that they will need to have down the road. This should be nothing more than a tuneup game and the Griz should win all three phases convincingly.

I wonder what the Griz record is covering the spread when it's this big? Four touchdowns is huge ...
