2023 Round 4 : Mayhem in Montana!

[NI4NI]

Can we keep this thing rolling all the way to Frisco?

Your thoughts on the Griz?

Your thoughts on the Griz?

They looked awesome against the Cats.

[NDSU92]

They had an outstanding game against Montana State. Very good win against Delaware. Another against Sac State. Proof they could be the best team in the subdivision.

That said, I have questions with the rest of their resume. Struggled against a non-scholly school and D2 school. Got owned by Northern Arizona. One possession games against Davis and Idaho State. Furman is about as good as Missouri State. We had a couple head scratchers this year but those results raise a lot of questions for me.

Their oline splits were like 5 feet against Furman and their QB was Senor Twinkletoes against the blitz. Had two special teams TD. About all I’ve watched on the year.

Both teams it’s gonna depend which version of the team shows up. Both have shown some great highs and abysmal lows. Both are playing good football right now.

The first part is in Canadian eh and the second is in sheep.

[scottietohottie]

Lakes and I went to Montana once before. We came up on a sheep stuck in the fence. I wanted to impress lakes and show him I'd been to Montana before. I stopped jumped out and let that sheep have it eh
I hollered hay lakes you want some? Turn around and he had his head stuck in teh fence eh.

Missoula isn’t even in Montana bro it’s justifiably Washington state. They have a real claim.

How far into the trip were you before you wanted to lose Lakes? did you consider leaving him in the fence?

[RobertMartin]

The QB had zero hard games until the Friday night game. Hasn’t been down, no challenges. My wife is a Griz, and hates his attitude. If you watch or re-watch the game look at his demeanor after the interception. Along with that look at the play calling. Bobby gets conservative in close games, afraid to make a mistake.

If the Bison punch them in the mouth right away the game will be over. They can’t play from behind,

They haven’t faced a QB as efficient as Miller.

A lot of tape from the Furman game that will help the Bison coaches develop a great game plan.s

After the Furman game, the bookies will not have the spreads they have been giving Montana.

Stats breakdown on this matchup with updates from yesterday's games:

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53388616294_ef2ea1c698_o.jpg


The matchup between the Bison offense and the Griz defense is definitely the one to watch in this game - whoever loses that matchup will really put their team behind the 8-ball. Some key stat categories where both of these units are elite:

1) The Bison offense is 4th nationally at 241.8 rush yards per game and the Griz defense is 9th allowing only 97.2 rush yards per game.
2) The Bison offense is 1st nationally in team passing efficiency and the Griz defense is 4th in defensive pass efficiency.
3) The Bison offense is 3rd nationally in 3rd down conversion rate at 51.5% and the Griz defense is also 3rd in opponent 3rd down conversion rate at 29.2%.

I’d be surprised if that weren’t true. 9 titles, growing city, capped capacity, a decade of sellouts.

[NDSU_grad]

I think if we keep Bergen bottled up on special teams we win. This is the phase of the game that concerns me.

Bison win 38-28.

Hey man. That's a pretty nasty insult.

Absolutely nailed it, if they get behind they will fold like a chair. They will NEVER comeback in a game with that guy at QB.

Not a big fan of your QB? He looked great against the Cats.

[EndZoneQB]

My favorite was when we played a P5 team, they released the game as a "premium" game. I think it was the last Gophers game, but could be wrong, so it was the same price as Wisconsin/Iowa.

[TAILG8R]

You should go back and watch their game against Furman. Griz QB is good for 2 picks next week and at least 4 passes so far off target even the defense won't have a chance.

Yeah I did. The Furman QB didn’t look great either so I figured it was a weather thing.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Yeah I did. The Furman QB didn’t look great either so I figured it was a weather thing.

It was definitely not a weather thing, both of those QBs are not very accurate. Even some of McDowells completions are a bail out by the receiver.

When I saw the pass he threaded for the OT touchdown I chocked it up to a pass that he intended to be somewhere else and it was a good mistake it ended up where it did. He s a one read and then run guy so take away the read and rush the QB you will destroy the offense like Furman did.

It was picture perfect weather in the stadium last Friday and weather wont be a problem this week either. Even if it is both teams have to play in it and using that as an excuse is a weak cowards way of winning or losing a game. The better team almost always wins, regardless of noise, weather, field conditions or home field advantage. Its all bullshit made up by people that never played the game and have weak minds.

All these distractions is gonna be awesome for NDSU PLAYERS THIS WEEK

I think they come out Saturday more focused than ever!!

I admittedly haven't watched McDowell all season but have since the Sac State game.

I don't know where else you think he'd have put that ball. He had White on a slant as the only WR to the endzone. That was exactly how it was scripted.

Welcome back to Missoula, Bison fans.

Should be a classic on Saturday afternoon.

[Wolfie]

Anyone know where NDSU will be staying in Missoula?

I'd guess in a hotel. Hopefully not a motel, but you never know.

For the love of god all I want is the team that played last Saturday to show show up in Missoula!! QB under center! D Line imposing its will and the LBs playing hard and fast! OC to use the exact same play book minus one Cole run and turn it into a pass. That’s all I want.

There has to be a short route to a TE or RB on those Cole runs that get stretched out wide all the way to the boundary(thanks Lee!) where he ends up just running out of bounds for no gain. Suck the defenders up and slide a TE across the field in behind them. I was waiting for it a couple times last week but of course it wasn't really necessary with the ass kicking that was happening.

[Mr Meaty]

Looks like the line is NDSU -1.5.

[gotts]

Gonna guess the Bison will open as 3 pt favorites.

Sagarin predictor has NDSU as a bit over a 4 point favorite (4.27) after a 2.37 home field advantage adjustment for Montana, so you're likely not far off.

I've been saying this all the time yet it never looks like it's even in play. That's a huge knock on Roehls play calls IMO. There should be multiple outlets on any given play yet so many of our plays seem to be only designed for a single outcome. Huge flaw in play design IMO

[23Bison]

I really thought that they'd bait the secondary and LB with this Cole run and he'd gather his feet and rip one over their heads for a 20 yd completion. Maybe someday we'll see this.

[MontBison]

AG1 is a great FCS mind and calls it like it is. More fans should be like alpha. The Griz fan base is so delusional that they kicked him off their board because he wasn’t drinking the koolaide. Think about that for a second. Other AG1 accomplishments

-Predicted CW would be a first round draft pick one day before he ever saw the field.
- Predicted we would embarrass the Griz in the playoffs in 2015
- Turned water into wine

A note to posters: the initials "CW" belong to 3 very important people in the minds and hearts of the Bison faithful. " CW" can refer to Carson Wentz, Christian Watson , and now Cole Wisniewski..............just saying.

We haven't been talking about Carson Wentz this entire time?

[TransAmBison]

Alpha said if they get behind they would fold...but he didn't say we had it in the bag. He chooses his words carefully...I like that about him. I remember us going out there for the first game of the season...if memory serves Alpha was similarly heaping the praise...but there were little warnings that came out too. Something about Griz finding a way to win big games at home. No way we see the Griz that played this last Friday.

The noise is going to cause some issues...we've had too many false starts lately...made for uncomfortable 3rd downs. If we can find a way to pull this one out, I think we have a 50/50 chance of beating SDSU. They are not playing their best ball right now.

Agree with all of this. The false starts at USD last week were frustrating even with the ass whooping and at some point we aren't going to be able to convert 3-4 3rd and 15+ in the same game.

But from what I saw in the Griz Furman game if we can get up early(even by 10 at halftime) I think their play calling will become head scratching and their QB will fold.

[Jim Puetz]

We got this game in the bag, we are 2-0 in semifinal games when our head coach announces that he's leaving for a new position. We are also 2-0 in National Championship games when this happens. All important things happen in 3's so I'm very excited about the new developments.

We need to smack them in the mouth early and limit big plays. They are very good at getting big plays. Weather looks good, but if anything changes our team is very good at adapting. If there's snow/wet field we will likely get a lot of big plays in the run game.

[Bisonator98]

Need to kick the ball out of bounds or thru the endzone and not give Bergen an opportunity to return it. Give them the ball on the 35 is better then risking a TD especially since our coverage sucks anyway.

I’m interested in seeing how we attack (or don’t) the huge splits the Griz OL uses. Difficult for them to double team using those. Hoping our Dline can win one-on-ones and keep LBs clean. Also, will we see more LB blitzes? If so, hoping the timing is better than last USD and some other games.

I really thought that they'd bait the secondary and LB with this Cole run and he'd gather his feet and rip one over their heads for a 20 yd completion. Maybe someday we'll see this.

Remember SDSU in 2022? We did just that and Cole threw a TD to Luepke down the seam. It was beautiful.

Then Cam completed a pass down to the 2 yard line, got a penalty for shooting a fake arrow, and we tried to run the exact same play that ended up being an interception. Then the wheels fell off.

Not saying that should deter us from trying to throw when Cole is in. Hell USD had 9 guys in the box when Cole was on the field. They were daring Tyler to throw the ball. Didnt need to as half of his carries resulted in touchdowns.

I predict that at some point this year we are going to see something from Cole where either he throws the ball OR they do a throw back to Cole like the one they ran against JMU in the semis of 2021 that was a sure touchdown that Quincy dropped.

Still groan whenever I recall that play. :(

Need to kick the ball out of bounds or thru the endzone and not give Bergen an opportunity to return it. Give them the ball on the 35 is better then risking a TD especially since our coverage sucks anyway.

They can (and probably will) simply make us kick from 5 yds further back.

[TAILG8R]

Correct, I would at least give it a shot if I was the Griz. With that return guy you give up the 35 for a chance at a return.

Absolutely. With Bergen as a weapon, a good coach would tell him to return every damned one!

When Cole comes in, NDSU is really running the wildcat more than our base offense, or am I missing something? Even the announcers were calling a Cole run. Not that it mattered - Cole had 6 runs, two for long TDs and a 4th down conversion which is a success ratio that most teams would die for.

Yeah, he can pass out of it - NDSU always seems to play the long game on things like that. The thing is people are still committing hard to the RB on the read-option (well, maybe USD wasn't in this last game) so you take what they give you (just my opinion.)

[TNbison]

I'm still waiting for a bit of trickery timed correctly in this playoff run(if needed of course)

[SDbison]

I’m interested in seeing how we attack (or don’t) the huge splits the Griz OL uses. Difficult for them to double team using those. Hoping our Dline can win one-on-ones and keep LBs clean. Also, will we see more LB blitzes? If so, hoping the timing is better than last USD and some other games. I agree it will be interesting to see how our coaches use the large O-line splits to our advantage. Our D line does better when active, not restricted in close confines and getting manhandled. I also hope our offense has more quick hitting run plays to our RB's and more throws over the middle to WR's, TE's, FB's. Use the QB run less often, but as needed to throw them off balance, and get short yardage from under center. Doubt NDSU holds Montana to less than 20 points so need to keep the offense moving.

[AKBison]

Their QB is Freshman of the year correct? Gotta think he is sniffing around already for offers. What year is Bergen? He's got be getting offers as well. We are a galvanized team right now and if we can get up early, those guys might fold it up and play like Cam Newton in the Super Bowl.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Bison undoubtably have the better QB and its not even debatable.

Miller threw for 831 more yards than McDowell had a much higher completion % (74.5 to 59.5)
Miller threw for more TD's (18 to 12) and one more INT 4 to 3

Miler was more efficient on field throwing the ball and has total control over the Bison offense.
Miller rushed for 735 yards compared to McDowells 848.

Miller often comes out in games throwing the ball high and IMO its because he has pretty bad footwork and balance issues. He is constantly not getting his hips around when he rolls out and throws off his back foot fading backwards when pressured. Its not a knock on him its just what he does and he still wins games.

McDowell is a RB playing QB, he is a one read guy that rarely runs through progressions and is easily flustered when pressure is put on him. You get to him a couple times early and rattle him he isn't the same guy playing from in front and comfortable. Just like most QBs He isnt consistent enough or accurate enough to bring a team back with his arm if they are playing from behind. That will just not happen. Miller has proven he can do that.

That was evident last week against Furman when our offense put up 21 points against a very good Paladin defense. Without the 2 special teams scores in that game you guys are playing is South Carolina this week.

Positions I think you guys have advantages are QB, RB, OL DL, maybe your secondary but it could also be a wash. Griz have Fouch, Walker, Graves and Gradney You guys have Wisnewski, Jung, Price. Montana tackles better in secondary
Montana has a slight advantage at LB, small fast and deep. They have guys like Lee, Hill, Flink, Janacaro and Wilson that tackle well and really IMO the only LB you guys have that compares to that group is Kopp Hendricks and Gubner are the studs on the DL, Montana doesnt have much after Gubner so the advantage goes to NDSU on the DL

Special teams is basically a wash with the exception of Bergen as a return guy, maybe Bison have a slightly better kicker its all close.

I think talent and depth favor the Bison but that doesn't always equate to winning. It should be a good balanced game and if played clean (no turnovers) might come down to who has the ball last. If one team gets a couple turnovers and more possessions because of that, might be the difference. Your offense is better than ours and I think our defense is slightly better than yours with the exception of the DL. It's all close and all the teams left are good but these two seem to be peaking lately and SDSU isn't

Should be a good one

Also, remember McDowell didn;t see action until the 5th game against ISU.... From there out, he wins every game so far... Can't say that for Miller.... McDowell is a momentum leader & does not quit.... If McDowell had those other 4 games under his belt, I don't think Miller would be much better in stats than McDowell, we shall see... GO GRIZ.....

[Professor Chaos]

I'm hoping we can see Eli Mostaert be a game wrecker in this one. With the wide splits the Montana o-line employs he'll have more room to work (and maybe more 1-on-1 matchups) than he's used to and I think if they can get pressure right up the middle on McDowell they're going to make him very uncomfortable back there.

Agree with a lot of this, especially McDowell. Reminds of Quincy Patterson, but not nearly as good of a runner and not even close on the toughness side. We smoke him a couple times and intercept and I could see him bailing with an “injury”.

Also, if anyone is looking for tickets, I have 2 extra. I’ll sell to Griz fans even, provided you’re not a Dick or Karen.

I think Albany has a chance. SDSU IMO wont be able to run on them like they do other teams. Dane front 7 on defense is too good. SDSU will have to throw more like Idaho did last week and they should be able to do that to some extent. If this game is played clean (no turnovers) its gonna be fairly close either way.

I know Montana has a couple key OL dudes who matter whose status is up in the air. Read earlier on the thread that the Bizzzzon are dealing with "health issues" themselves. Is there some illness going around the team or other injuries?

You guys seem like you are peaking at the right time but the Coaching turmoil and 3rd straight road game seems like a lot to ask. Watched the Montana QB last week and he at times didn't see defenders. He's electric athlete and I assume having to guard him makes the pass game easier for him but he really was scary at times in the throw game as far as throwing it near defenders.

Coach Entz mentioned at least one player that had some flu like symptoms earlier this week but haven't heard anymore about that since. I think the coaching change will actually have a positive impact. Not because the players want him to go but the culture here plus the players(and other coaches) knowing this same thing has happened twice previously in the last 10 years somehow makes it more normal.

I watched the Montana game last week and their QB looked awful. 2 out of 5 passes were so far off the mark it was crazy. I feel like there are 2 INTs waiting for the Bison D on Saturday.

Yeah and that was a good day passing for him. The over throws by him are double the completions. Think about it, his completion % is under 60% throwing the ball sideways 5 to 10 yards most of the time. Even half his completions are poor throws. Dude is not accurate and hes not going to be accurate. Most QBs in our style of offense would be completing close to 70+%. Like every other QB in the nation

From what I saw if NDSU can force him to stay in the pocket or at least not give him open lanes to take off it will be a long day for the Montana offense. Especially if NDSU's offense starts out fast.

Oh absolutely.

Look what Furmans defense did and I think they had a damn good front 7 but you guys can match that and you have better scheme. Hit him early, he will panic and make mistakes. His only positive attribute at QB is he can run well. He's got away with 3 dropped INTs in the playoffs so far from balls either so far off target or desperation panic throws that should have been gobbled up like an eGriz poster with a basket of dicks.

[mriordan23]

From Hero sports (maybe where the illness stuff came from)

Hendricks did leave last week’s game and didn’t return. Head coach Matt Entz said he’s hopeful Hendricks will be ready for Montana, but also mentioned Hendricks and some others in the locker room are dealing with flu-like symptoms.

Montana’s starting left tackle Chris Walker didn’t play last week after an injury late in the second-round game. Guards Liam Brown and Hunter Mayginnes have also missed time recently.

You mean like your defense did against the Bobcats? Their offense & QB burned your D-Fence for 500 yrds offensively.... (without their two star OL). The Griz Have a way better offense than the Cats... Just look at past opponents they both played, no comparison....

Your QB is no where near the runner Melot is and unless your game plan is to run him 70% of the time he won’t be nearly as effective either.

Our D is WAY down this year and very suspect in the middle run game. But again if on passing plays our dline can be disciplined I have a feeling you QB will fold under pressure and when he does from what I’ve seen he likes to pout about it.

Gonna be a good game. I think it’s more about if your D can stop NDSU tbh.

Your right about not being as fast as Mellott, But the cats hardly utilized any of their running backs, Mellott is not that accurate either, he threw very little against the Bison, Thats the difference in the Griz offense, they use their running backs & are effective to keep the defenses guessing.. Should be a great battle up front....

McDowell looked a lot better throwing the ball against Montana St and Delaware than he did against Furman. I'd suspect Furman's defense had something to do with that. I had never seen Mellott throw the ball as well as he did against the NDSU defense a couple weeks ago so hopefullly McDowell doesn't follow suit.

Mallot used to be a lot less accurate than he showed this year but from what I saw and your QBs comp % I’m not sure anyone can say he’s more accurate than Mellot.

The Bison seem to be peaking at the right time, but Montana's aggressive 3-3-5 defense is going to create problems for Cam Miller this weekend. I expect McDowell to shine on the biggest stage and the elite receiver core for the Grizzlies will be the difference in this matchup.

Their defense might give us trouble on outside runs. We'll need to have some success up the middle.

I watched most of the Furman game again - that Montana QB is a heckuva runner, but Furman's defense looked like it matched up well with Montana's offense. Not sure how NDSU's defense will match up, especially on the perimeter.

Anyway, last year against NDSU, Montana seemed to really crowd the line of scrimmage on defense and the result was NDSU having three guys with runs of around 70 yards. NDSU only passed for 58 yards.

Obviously, this year's Grizzly offense is completely different with their super QB, but how different is Montana's defense? Apparently, it's much better against the run.

I'm nervous about tackling issues cropping up again for the Bison defense - not only is McDowell a good runner but they have two really good RBs in Gillman and Ostmo who can break tackles. There might be more points than expected scored in this game.

Well, I think that Cam is one of the best QBs that NDSU has ever had.

What I saw against Furman was an extremely dynamic runner who I wouldn't underestimate. His passing was decent - and their WRs could be problems.

Well Im sure everyone knows I've got some issues with Cam's play at times but he was on fire on Saturday. I also watched the Fri night game and didn't see anything that made me more worried about McDowell than I was about Mellott who along with Chambers were both better runners than McDowell and Mellott is easily the superior passer. IMO Montana loses 99 out of 100 of those games to Furman, as there's less than a 1% chance of getting both a Kickoff and Punt Return TD to bail out that stagnant offense. We all know Cam had a terrible game against MSU but he bounced back with his best performance of the season against USD so the key could be down to which Cam shows up. Im also not saying McDowell won't be a challenge but he shouldn't be enough by himself to tip the scales.

No first class or economy comfort seats.

During the regular season when NDSU flies Delta they usually take a Boeing 737-900 or Airbus 320. Not sure if there is much of a difference in seat width and pitch but I think the biggest difference is all delta planes have seat back screens and Sun Country doesn’t.
