Montana Post Game Thoughts & Discussion

That one is either a bad throw by Cam or a miscommunication between Cam & Eli. If Cam was expecting Eli to go straight to the pylon then it is a perfect throw, and would probably look a lot like the Wentz to Legendowski play in the SDSU playoff game. Agree that a TD there would've completely changed the game. To me the bigger missed opportunity that first drive was on the previous play when Cam didn't see a wide open TK Marshall coming across the middle of the field as he was scrambling.

He didn't throw to wide open RBs all game, whether it was check downs in the pocket or sack/scramble outlets, his eyes stayed downfield way too long almost every snap.

Regardless, what lost the game was kicking the ball to Junior Bergen. Just dumb.

There was a very nice piece on WCCO evening sports segment a couple of nights ago about Eli Gilman, RB for the Griz. He won the Jerry Rice Award this year. Turns out he is from just down the road here in Cokato, MN. While I really wanted to hate on him since he scored the go ahead against the Bison, it is hard to do when you see him in this piece. Very nice kid.

I wish I could include a link so all the rest of you could suffer through those vid clips like I did but I can't find one on their site.


Edit: fix hometown spelling. I wondered why it wanted to substitute Cockatoo!
