Everyone should watch Blair Townsends post game comments. There's a reason he's a captain. The team needs to come together.

So we'd win the conference and lose first round of the playoffs?

I'm not sure he's a head coaching type. Probably more of a coordinator. Great guy though.

Who knows. Since we haven't been ranked more than 1 or 2 times losses to us carry alot of weight in dropping poll position. It's kind of a self defeating thing.

That's right. Worse than the defense was today. Worse than the unit that had one stop. What I don't get is that we have at least 3 legit OL. Kleason Anderson and Walker are all good. I've never been impressed with Denui. I don't get why they haven't been better. Kleason was awesome last year when he came back and this year he looks like a bum.

South Dakota was ranked in 2011 when we beat them. Southern Utah was also ranked that year 19th when we whooped them on the road. I get what you're saying but again, facts, try and use them.

Anyone notice how Big Sky officials are just awful? I'm not claiming they cost us the game since that would be ludicrous, but I've yet to see a Big Sky game where the officials didn't blow multiple obvious calls. Also, anyone notice how good Shaugabay looked when he got the ball? He needs to start. Finally. The offensive line. They were pathetic. Is this the new OL coaches fault? Mussmans fault? The players fault? Schleusners fault? Who knows. Either way, they were the worst I've ever seen at UND today. They couldn't run block and they certainly couldn't give our QBs enough time. They are the #1 weakness of the team by far. Yes, worse than the defense.

The bottom is Idaho St. Don't get ahead of yourself.

Nothing to explain here. They're gonna need a real come to Jesus moment to save this season. We could've been +4 in the turnover margin and still lost this game by double digits. I usually don't get a headache from a football game but this one gave me one just after halftime. That was completely pathetic. Man to man they wanted it more across the board. Greg Hardin turned in an unacceptable performance. If he wants to play on Sundays he's gonna have to show some heart and leadership instead of moping around the field like a brat. That goes for more than just Hardin but as a senior and probably our best player it was most noticeable from him. There is nothing to defend in this game.

Mussman was a captain and starting center at Iowa State.

His pops played FBS. We may not be able to get him by the time he's done. How about his older son? He won't put up good numbers since his team is awful but he's a good athlete.

I have a hard time believing that Montana has a more nasty offensive line than SDSU. They may be bigger but those SDSU lines play with a mean streak that I didn't see from Montanas last year. Montana has the same OL, we'll see if they're much improved.

If they can smash out offense into the fetal position more power to them. I just want to hear some popping. At least a few bone crushing hits. Maybe a good one on kickoff coverage.

Sounds weird but I'm looking forward to watching Montanas punter. He's the real deal. A big boy with a Howitzer of a leg.

god i hope so

Anyone think it's a little premature to have a banner for Knight?

Mussman wants Montana to prepare for both. Of course he'll say both will take reps. They will both technically get reps with the ones as I stated earlier but they will not be anywhere close to equal. It's all smoke and mirrors from Mussman.

The only thing I enjoy more than seeing the offense put up points is watching a defense smash an opponent into the fetal position. I've been waiting a while to see that again. Hopefully soon.

This schedule has playoffs written all over it.

For how much you've been complaining about everything lately I think you need to step back and get ahold of the facts before you claim Mussman isn't doing his job. It's like me saying you don't do your job without knowing even what you do. It's not fair to the program you support so before you go complaining again get ahold of some facts and make an intelligent argument instead of going off on an emotional rampage based on nothing. Also on the whole 'Mussman was rotating QBs last year' thing; if Hanson hadn't been injured last year would Hendrickson have gotten in any game other than the first? The only game they rotated legitimately was EWU. At MSU Hanson was a sitting duck and couldn't defend himself so they had to put in Marcus.

This is based on speculation. We don't know who is taking what reps. FYI every week regardless of if there if THE guy or not the #2 qb takes some reps with the first team. That's why you saw a guy like Hendrickson last year come in and not miss a beat.

It would be pretty hilarious given the magnitude of scores predicted if this game was a defensive battle and ended up something like 8 - 10

He will. He's not a moron.

Mid week kool aid pick. Defense shows up big time offense explodes. Mollberg passes for 350 and runs for 45 and 3 tds. We get a return td and block two kicks. Shaugabay gets carries and goes for 85 yards. Und 45 Montana 27

Exactly
