Yep.....punt blocked, offense get conservative...….might be Richmond game all over. I sure hope not.

How many dang punts do we have to get blocked before a change is made!!!

We have the worst punt protection in the country!!!

That was a great blitz call to bait him in to throwing to that WR when Palmborg was going to drop back.

I'm hoping....this is similar to what USD did to us last year. Going into that game last year......USD was somewhat snake bit in recent games....and last year was just there year for payback, this is our year to do it to Montana and demoralize them for the rest of the year! Keep on the gas!! Lot of time yet.

If we do win......Montana fans won't count it....because of the turnovers.

Our's hasn't looked that good either....other than getting the turnovers. We got saved there.

Love the start....although we have to play like it is still 0-0....don't get complacent!!

Great start.....keep it up!!

It's a combination of lack of respect for our program, and too much respect for theirs. Time to change that! Hope the coaches show them that, or somehow get our guys to have a chip on our shoulder tomorrow. Montana just got embarrassed last week, so I know they will have one on theirs. Since we've gotten our asses handed to us by Montana the last 4 years and no player on this team has ever beaten them, I would sure hope our guys have a chip on their shoulders tomorrow.

After listening to the podcast, I think i'm going to go with a closer game than I originally predicted. Sounds like Montana's offensive coordinator actually adjusts to overcome their own weaknesses and puts a game plan in place, not just the same 4 running plays each week. Montana turned the ball over a ton last week, also part of why they didn't score much. I still think we should win by 10 or more as the cards appear in our favor this time against them, but right now I am kind of trusting their offensive coordinator a lot more than ours which I think may keep it close. Sounds like their LB on defense is a stud, an amazing amount of tackles so far this season. That said I hope our front 7 destroys them and their QB is flustered and under pressure from the very first snap and we have broken their will by halftime, especially since we struggle to score in 3rd quarter. They will probably try a bunch of quick passes and screens.

I'm going with my Kelly Green glasses.....as to what I think should happen in this game: UND 31 - Griz 17 If they can't score more than 20 points at home against PSU I'd think we should be able to hold them to around that, SHOULD being the key word there. Diamond formation in backfield appears again this week with Santiago, Brady, and JJ. Not sure if we've seen that since the first game.

This is game is a must win....for SO many different reasons. If they are able to come into our house with a make shift offensive line and out coach us, out hustle us, and take it to us in our house.....I will likely have totally given up on this staff to really get us to be where we need to be. We can't sh*t the bed again with a full house and just on the verge of people getting excited again.

Need to get a few false starts with crowd noise!!

Anybody heard if the line is pretty much healed up and will be back for Montana this weekend, minus Mortel of course.

Perception of your program and history obviously is still playing a factor in the polls even after 5 weeks in. We must take care of business this weekend. I'll take even a 1 point win...because a win is a win......but I'd really like to beat Montana 35-17 or something like that. Idaho St. is not even ranked and they just have 1 loss which is an FBS loss. They play at UC Davis next week, that should be interesting and will likely be a shootout. If Idaho State beats UC Davis, will be curious to see what will happen in the polls....they will definitely be in...but how high. Pollsters might just say.....ahhh UC Davis was over-rated and it's not that big of a win. The whole MVFC teams beat each other up because they are all so good, but if a Big Sky team beats another one....it's because none of them are good. Portland State > Montana > UNI

It would be nice to run the table, but if we go 5-1 the rest of the way we'll still be in the playoffs. Many teams have clunkers during the year so I won't be surprised if we drop a game somewhere. We do need to beat both Weber and Montana though. The NAU game is the game on the schedule that has worried me the most since the start of the season, just because it's a game we should win but NAU always seems to be so up and down. Let's start this weekend and beat Montana and take it from there.

We need Montana to win this one.

Looks like UNI has secured a playoff birth.....with being up by 3 against SU heading into the 4th.

Good to know, thanks!

I'm going to miss UND being in Big Sky and the watchbigsky. Not sure how many games I will even get to see once we join the MVFC, the only one I see on ESPN3 that I can get right now is the USD game.

USD went down the field like a hot knife through butter against Missouri State on the opening drive. 2 minute opening drive for a TD. Maybe Missouri State drops down and acts like the old Missouri State today.

So really the only question now is, does SU still win by more or less than 10.

I agree, overall I thought that was an awesome episode. I really miss the full weekly football show like they use to have, but these are well done and it's really cool to see video from the trip and everything.
