Not totally disagreeing with you that we have a lot of things to work on, but I believe they were only down 7 in the 4th Quarter against #6 Weber. Weber must really suck if only ahead by 7 going into 4th Quarter at home against UNC. If we beat Montana next week, I'm sure some will say Montana isn't that good. Just beat who is on your schedule. I think it's possible we could lose 3 more games this year.....I also think it's possible that we only drop one more, and really I think it is possible that we could win all of the remaining games on our schedule. I don't think that will happen though, I'm sure we will stumble at least once as we do not consistently play well and special teams are super iffy. I stopped doing predictions each week on this team because one thing I learned is, I have no clue what is going to actually happen come game time with this team recently.

The OL have definitely stepped up this year, especially considering the injuries. if you told me 1 or 2 OL starters would be out every game through 5 games, I would have thought we would have been screwed. Sucks Nortel is out for the year but hopefully with the Bye week the rest can heal up and play, and stay mostly healthy the rest of the way. Since still some young guys on there, particularly the true freshman, hopefully they only continue to improve even more throughout the year. Great job so far though OL!

I've thought since last year that maybe we would be better off starting out with Brady on that first drive and pound the rock, especially since we tend to run it up the gut on the first play. Wear them out a little with Brady, and then second drive bring in Santiago. Plus Brady is more likely to always get positive yardage and move the chains which is what you want on that opening drive. However I think our opening drives this year have been pretty successful for the most part, but I can't remember each.

I'd almost say this is a Must win game. 1. There will likely be a good crowd because it's against Montana, and need to recoup some of the enthusiasm that was lost with home loss to Idaho State. If we lose to Montana, I'd say the casual fans may mostly be done for the year and will be poor attendance going forward. A win and there will be some excitement again. 2. We need another win against a ranked team and we need to start climbing back into the polls. 3. We need a Montana pelt this year in a bad way.

I believe they do graduate a lot of seniors that start and/or play a lot though. Their cupboard is pretty full though for guys to step in.

They do graduate quite a bit after this year, and we have a lot of guys coming back. SU reloads quickly though so they will still be very good. 2019 should be a good game.

I agree with you on this, we should win this game...especially at home. To me this is a MUST win game, I don't think Bubba has beaten Montana yet. There are no injury excuses this time, we've got to beat them. The game still makes me a little nervous just because we have not beat them recently, and I don't think I can handle losing to them again and having to listen to their fan base. I want to beat them by 20 plus! And for whatever it's worth, other people think to seem it matters if you beat EWU and Montana even if they are having down years and we just haven't done that, yet.

Sure is nice to finally have a Bye week during the year, hopefully some guys heal up. Dont think we've had all 5 OL starters healthy and playing at the same time all year, 1 or 2 starters out all of the time. Sounds like one is now out for the year, we just cant catch a break there. Even so, with the injuries the line has done a pretty good job, sure would have bren nice though if they would have been mostly healthy. Nice seeing Idaho State and Sam Houston win as others have mentioned, cant have that dreaded bad loss on the resume to a really bad team like Idaho State was the one year. Sure would have made a win over them look better too, really sucks we let that one slip by. We seriously need that Montana pelt in two weeks. Go Hawks!

49-21 now Idaho State. 4 minutes left in the 3rd.

Idaho State up 42-21 at home against NAU in the 3rd with about 5 minutes left....on the verge of scoring again. They have 200 yards rushing. They have improved and are not a doormat this year.

I think we had 1 completed pass in second half.

Yes

Yes, would be nice to actually see 4 good quarters of football. Particularly want to see the offense continue to move the ball.

Is Watch Big Sky working for you guys? It has just been spinning for me no matter how many times I try it.

My WatchBigSky is just spinning....Ugh.

Flag on first play of game, then lose a yard on first play from scrimmage. The boys came to play alright!

Cool, I was gonna say.....some of you tailgaters should post some pics....thanks!

I have those exact same thoughts.

Well I'm glad I wasn't able to watch that disaster. Crazy how when I was following the game somebody pointed this was probably the best offensive play calling by Rudy ever. Then we fumble and next thing you know Idaho scores. I could feel that huge swing from 2,000 miles away just following online. This team under Bubba so many times just hasn't answered when something bad like that happens. This loss was truly shocking. I'd be curious to see the first half points with Rudy as offensive coordinator compared to second half points. Getting shut out like that at home to Idaho in the 2nd half is unacceptable. Sounds like players have some blame too and blew some plays. I'm tired of being one play away in a game and then blowing it. If Brady doesn't fumble we have all the momentum and game may have been different. That roughing kicker call in Richmond game, such a huge swing in momentum. It's like watching Ground Hogs Day. I thought this team had the character to respond and show they are a good team. We'll see what happens this season, but once again it sure seems like they don't. And I'm as sick and tired of it as everybody else.

Why would you want to continue to do something that works

So I take it...its half time, what is score?

Thanks for the updates!

I'm at Universal Studios in Cali right now....any game and score updates will be appreciated!

Also I'd think the game will be on www.watchbigsky.com too

I thought the wrestler one was awesome!
