Thanks Heff.

Actually hate that someone has to go home after this one, and have a lot of respect for the Grizz and the Cats!!

Good luck, and no serious injuries to both teams!!

May the winner of this one go on to finish the thing in Frisco in very convincing fashion.


GoHeff….GoGrizz…GoBison!!!

I called a blowout last week and was right. Calling a slightly lower one this week.

38-17 Bison back to Frisco

[KSBisonFan]

If we tackle and maybe spy their QB to stop the run, we win by 2 scores. Offense needs to start fast and avoid turnovers.

Cam and Cole are going to be sharp.

The whole team plays like enraged, rabid honey badgers after Larsen announces Timothy Brewster as the new HC during the coin toss.

Bison 34, Griz 24.

[Kevin]

I survived another week. Can’t kill a legend.

Bison 27
Montafornia 21

Oh and name Roehl HC already.

[Professor Chaos]

Picked Montana earlier in the week but I've come around. The Bison defense misses some tackles, Cam misses some throws, but the playoff Bison find a way in another playoff classic in the state of Montana eeking out a 3 point win. In the postgame locker room Entz/Larsen give the game ball to the next head football coach Tyler Roehl and the locker room erupts.

Then they proceed into the 3 week winter camp where anyone and everyone outside the team's inner circle tells them how badly they're going to get slaughtered in Frisco.

[NDSU92]

Blitz the crap out of their QB. Our defense does not do well with passive assignment football, making tackles in open field. We’ve had much more success with “pin your ears back and go get the ball carrier” style play. Let’s get after it and meet at the QB.

When Cam is “on” there’s not a better QB in FCS. Our offense is hitting on all cylinders. With Roehl up for the HC job, he can’t afford to call plays with his butt-puckered, so I expect him to call a good game.

Kind of a lame statement with a built-in excuse but oh well: we’re definitely the better team, I think the one thing that could hold us up is if the HC change stuff became a distraction for the players and coaches this week.

34-28 Bison

[tolnabison]

Key to the game is getting their QB on the ground. When we get there, we have to get home. Can't let him extend plays.

[Bison4peat]

Looks like the line has moved almost 2 points for the Griz. Bison win 21-20. I have no idea how this squad is here, but they are.

[GreenfieldBison]

Almost 1/3 mile less elevation than Bozeman and not even 1/2 mile higher than Fargo. Ball should flight a little more predictably for Cam. No rain in the forecast and winds are calm. Passing game should be good to go. I like the boys in green in this one. On a mission to right a wrong.

I had shifted to Griz -2 or -2.5 for most of yesterday. This morning it's back to Griz -1 at most places it appears.

[ndsubison1]

It will be a tough environment, but I think it simply comes down to which team will be better for longer in the game. Limit their big plays, we will get big plays too. Bergen gets one big return but we slow him down after that. I loved the fire we saw from the defense last week. Weather should be good for the passing game. Bison are just clicking on all cylinders.

That's interesting. I didn't realize there was that much difference in elevation between Missoula and Bozeman. Do QBs feel like it impacts it that much?

I don't recall it impacting the passing game when we played at Wyoming back in the day, but I did see our defense sucking wind late in the game.

[cbline]

I likely won't hear the honk. We have a long driveway. Feel free to honk, though! Horns up!

[Gully]

I wonder if NDSU brought the younger kickoff guy? Would be good to kick it deep or through the endzone but I'm not sure if we have a guy that can do that.

The air is thinner at higher elevation and so there is less drag on the ball from friction and the ball will sail more.

If you want to bulk up your long drive ego go play some golf in Breckenridge, CO at 9,600 feet.

Edit: and in an interesting sort of paradox there is also less "lift" and so it is harder to get an aircraft airborne at altitude.

Edit 2: I'm not a physicist so this is all speculative but I don't think a thrown football will have as much increased relative carry as a flighted golfball at different altitudes. This is because the thrown football is spinning axially while the golf ball is spinning backwards. So for the golfball the air is traveling relatively faster over the top of the ball than the bottom, thereby generation some lift due to the lower pressure on top. The pressures are the same on the top and bottom of a thrown football. That all sounds right in my head anyway...

[unbison]

I am so sick of spherical earth propaganda.

[TAILG8R]

Their QB will not be able to pick us apart so keep him in the pocket and have a spy which could also keep a LB near scrimmage for run plays as well.

I’ve been saying it all week, early consistent pressure will get to this guy. He will throw multiple balls up for grabs.

Bergen will most likely get at least one good return, maybe even for a TD but as we saw last week they needed 2 special teams touchdowns to end the game in a tie.

I like the Bison in this one. Close game, maybe even trailing at half but a “comfortable” win in the end.

Which brings up the Coriolis Effect and I'm sure mtoutfitter could offer a primer on this one.

I don't think the elevation necessarily impacts this effect in any way. I say this because you can see its effects rampant in any football game played anywhere. Basically it is detected when a QB throws the ball to where a receiver USED to be rather than where they are.

Edit: OTOH, when you are higher then you are moving farther during rotation and so intuitively the effect should be increased. But, not a physicist. I have no clue.

[HillsboroBison]

Two keys to the game for the Bison is pass rush and tackling. Rattle their QB early, tackle him when you get to him and you will force him into bad throws which hopefully leads to an INT. Hope we have a good tackling week like we did last week. I think this offense will be hot today playing the game for Roehl to be the next HC!

Bison by 14!

I would sure think he would be (that's #81 Eli Ozick) since I believe he's handled every kickoff in the playoffs so far. Touchbacks on kickoffs and fair catches on punts should be the goal today for the specialists. Don't let Bergen spark them.

I'll take a 35 yarder that's fair caught over a 45 yarder that he has a chance to return every single time.

[Professor Chaos]

Agreed - I'd even take a pop up kickoff that gives them the ball on the 30 yard line or so over giving him a chance to bust one. Make them sustain drives (easier said then done with their skill players and the inconsistent tackling from the Bison defense).

[SoCalBison]

Montana thinks the Bison will lose.

They're wrong.

NDSU 38, Griz 17

[tcbison]

When the bracket came out, I was confident that the Bison could get to this game. At the time, I didn't know if the Bison could win this game. Bison need to start fast and play with a lead in this game. Cam needs to have the offense rolling, and the defense needs to find ways to make stops. Special teams might be the difference in this game. I think it will be close but don't count out the heart of the Bison! I love beating the Montana schools.

After 4 years you would think Cam would know that when its not there he needs to take off. JFC hes waiting way too long.

[Bisonator98]

Cam needs to take off with it instead of standing there for 5 seconds. He could have had 10 yards easy.

[BigLakeBison]

Can is not playing well he RB wide open in the flat. He holds the ball too long in big games.

It’s crazy how indecisive he is at times considering how in rhythm he looks at other times. It’s like a complete 180.

His RB was wide open and would have gotten the first down.

[KSBisonFan]

Griz doing us a favor by throwing the ball.

[heffray]

Kinda feels like we left 11 points on the field there…

[MangyOldBison]

Defense!!!

Hauck heard you…

[MontBison]

What a spot lol

[Bison20]

Cam making some dangerous throws too. Just throwing it up and hoping for the best

[ndsubison1]

McDowell loves throwing to that right side.

[MangyOldBison]

What a spot lol

Hate to play that ref in golf.

[Big Bird]

They have to get off the field on third down, especially on third and 12

[KSBisonFan]

Griz doing us a favor by throwing the ball.

Except our secondary is playing soft.

[CalBison97]

As CAS has pointed out before, our blitz arrives late. Almost like why bother.

[KSBisonFan]

We're the better team. Just need to stop pressing and cut down on the mistakes.

[SoCalBison]

Time for some stops.

[HillsboroBison]

Keep throwing those boundary passes and he will mess up eventually. He is good for at least 1 dumb pass attempts game.

Our blitzing is always late. Sometimes is is ridiculous. Why not fake it some times. We sit five yards off with our lbs and wait till way after the snap to blitz.

[NI4NI]

That's how I'm seeing it too.

This is the Bison team we’re are used to seeing lol.

[MangyOldBison]

Defense!!!

[NDSUstudent]

Our defense is sloth like.

[Smokeyburnout]

Man, these guys can't tackle. Out of control and can't breakdown.

[Schwarz04]

Absolutely unreal how terrible they played that whole drive.

[Big Bird]

Our third down defense is atrocious

[ndsubison1]

I see our poor angle defense is back

[MangyOldBison]

Begin the pounding now!

GoBison!

[Bisonator98]

Offense needs to answer here

[Kevin]

Petrinos defense is always a step slow or a foot out of position. Sometimes both.

[Bison20]

Need to keep the qb in the pocket.

[SoCalBison]

Time for a deep breath, players too.

[Bison4peat]

Need a drive.

[Big Bird]

Our defense is sloth like.

That last third down conversion, it looked like the D linemen and LBs were in slow motion

[Bison03]

Griz are good. Need to answer here.

[HillsboroBison]

No excuses get off the field in 3rd down! Break down and make a damn tackle!

Nah this is when we will come out and throw it 3 straight times because we have such a genius OC

[heffray]

Need a drive.

Yep. Take the lead and get a hold. Go to halftime up 3.

[Kevin]

That last third down conversion, it looked like the D linemen and LBs were in slow motion

To be fair it was 4 of our fattest guys.

[NDSU92]

Lol the fair weather fans already heading out after forcing a long drive

JFC

Not concerned tbh. We look more physical. Just need to not commit dumb penalties. It took a lot of things to fall perfectly for the griz to sustain that drive. We’ll be alright

[Bison4peat]

GoBison!

I agree, besides the nose they are soft

[MontBison]

Good compared to what? Both these teams will get thumped by the rabbits.

Can you teach me the art of optimism?

[BiZon22]

Just watching the game. We’re getting a good push, putting pressure on the QB. Stuffing most of the griz runs up the middle

[HillsboroBison]

I don’t wanna see us pass the ball the rest of the game! My lord!

Averaging 5 yds a carry lol

On Offense, yeah… I don’t like what I’m seeing on D though…

[Kevin]

Just keep running it.

[Bison4peat]

Terrible call

[Kevin]

Just going to kill ourselves I guess

[heffray]

Wow that was a terrible call for OPI there

[KSBisonFan]

Terrible call on Raja.

[MangyOldBison]

Another crap call.

[heffray]

2nd and 26, perfect time for an RPO…

[HillsboroBison]

Hate running it with Raja

Worse play call decision.

[Schwarz04]

Wut? Where was there pass interference??

[Bison4peat]

If we are going bully why is 22 being taken out

[ndsubison1]

Weak ass OPI

[Kevin]

Any update on mathis

[Big Bird]

Super soft call on Nelson and then hate the 2nd down call.

[MontBison]

We can’t even get out of our own way. Great coaching.

[Bisonator98]

JFC these penalties are going to kill us

[KSBisonFan]

We're moving the ball at will, but shooting ourselves in the foot.

[Smokeyburnout]

What the fuck is going on with pre snap penalties?

[TAILG8R]

These penalties have to stop.

jesus christ can they go three fucking plays without a penalty...

Refs must have bet the under.

Or... run it up the middle?

[SafeTeeJ]

Chang your fucking punt formation. FCS!

[Bisonator98]

What the fuck is going on with pre snap penalties?

Its cold and loud I've been told.....

[Big Bird]

Penalties and 3rd down defense need to improve massively

[ndsubison1]

Not concerned tbh. We look more physical. Just need to not commit dumb penalties. It took a lot of things to fall perfectly for the griz to sustain that drive. We’ll be alright

Keeping their crowd in it though

[sbark]

Totally got ripped on suppossed pik play call...

[heffray]

Lets see if the D can bail us out here.

[heffray]

Or... run it up the middle?

Neither of those are great options.

[MyOhMy]

A lot of mental bullshit going on, looks to me like the coaching situation is affecting the players.

[Bison20]

Penalties have always been a problem under entz, no discipline

[KSBisonFan]

Lets see if the D can bail us out here.

There's some optimism

[heckler]

Nice coaching this week. Should of seen this coming, obviously Roehl didn't get the job lol.
