Gameday vs Da Griz

[Sioux95]

Wonder what our third down conversion percentage is over the last 4 years.  People can talk TOP all they want, but it is an overrated stat as UC Davis showed us this year.  Our offense, even with studsrud hasn't been good at picking up first downs when we need them

If Zimmerman isn't in to start the second half, Rudy might as well not come home with the team.

Isn't that a BUBBA decision??

Possibly, the Griz don't look so undoable

Our playbook has been described as complex by players who have to learn it. 

Well, they seemed to have simplified it this week.  I don't know how you don't give Zimmerman a chance at this point.

I would think so.  If Bubba wanted him in....he would be in!

remember when Joe Webb started at Green Bay in the playoffs? This feels the same

It's not hard to stop the run when the opponent knows the QB can't throw. They've done a decent job in pass protection, problem again, the QB can't throw. Throw Heidelbaugh out with the best FCS offense in the country and I'd be a mess. They did look better in the 2nd quarter, you couldn't look worse than they did in the 1st, but they did improve. 

Defensively, I've been very impressed. 3 turnovers, bend but not break forcing Montana into 2 FG's. #12 will be great, but is a true freshman, outside of Hunts missed tackle he's been good on deep coverage. Canady has been solid as well. When you have 2 freshman and a sophomore on the back end against an explosive unit, I'd say they have passed the test. Cam Hunt has also had a solid game.

Overall, take age out of it, as a defensive unit I'd give them a B- / C+. 

Offensively, F (Good news being we know Heidelbaugh will not be the QB next year)

The difference couldn't be larger between Studs and Heidelbaugh, too bad Studs isn't healthy, this would have been a game. 

Put Zimmerman in the game.

All qbs get plenty of throws in the indy periods.

During live action???? He looks like he's thrown off by the speed of the game most of the time.

I agree, that is the one thing I'm taking from this.  If we had a QB, and our regular ILB's and DB's.......I think we'd be able to take them.

If we were healthy, this game wouldn't be close.

I don’t think you can fix his issues. It’s year 3 for him

Just QB and I'd be close.

So either Z is not good at all, or the coaches should be questioned as to why he wasn't in.  Usually announcers are pretty kind and sometimes deflect, but they are basically flat out saying we have a QB who can't throw.

Coaches are weird about kickers and qbs.

This Widmans caramel apple is about the only thing that’s going right today.

I adopted a silver lab today, he has been really good, fitting in nicely with my black lab named "Hawk".

[Old School Guy]

I said it the other day and I will say it again....this team looks unenthusiastic, under developed and unprepared. That's the job of the guys in the polo shirts. Injuries or not, even the backups should be serviceable when on the field. The needs to be more improvement during the off season starting with the mindset, strength program and focus. Looks like we celebrated winning the Big Sky all off season.

Is the new one named F’n?

Blubaugh proving why he should be wearing a RED shirt. Just no strength or technique.

I think much of the team is still celebrating last season's championship.

I'm done talking about this, but Blubaugh needs safety over help.

You need to either post what you know or shut the !@#$ up cause it's getting really old

They could literally just throw it to number 6 over there every play if they wanted to.

Blubaugh needs to be redshirting. or watching from the side lines. He was RB primarily in high school. Great athlete but it takes awhile to learn to play in the secondary.
