First half...midway through the 2nd quarter the Griz had almost 250 yards of offense.

Second half...midway through the 4th quarter the Griz had run 9 plays on offense.

Definitely a tale of two halves.  Defense took some big steps in the second half.

Not sure how good Montana’s oline is but we man handled them in the second half. It was nice to see our defense get some pressure for a change.

Bubba took advantage of Hauck being an absolute moron on both sides of the ball in the 2nd half. He gave that game away and Bubba gladly took it. The fact that the Griz refused to put 8-9 in the box knowing Romfo couldn't and wouldn't throw the ball was bananas.  Kudos to Bubba for recognizing that. The O-line was tremendous in the 2nd half.

As much credit as our kids deserve this guy deserves the heat he's going to get in Missoula.  47-17 were the plays in the second half.  UND tightened things up defensively, but that can't be the play discrepancy unless you are playing Alabama.

He even said that UND lacks QB depth.  Well the one you were watching wasn't throwing it great, why wouldn't you throw a slew of humanity in the box to make us throw more?

When was the last time the population of Sack City was that high?

We should be #5

Like Kelly said, the defense deserves a lot of credit. Awful start (besides that first defensive drive), but man did they ever settle in. Montana had 17 total snaps in the 2nd half, 8 of those on the final drive. Some might say because of time of possession, but they had three 3 & outs in a row, so that gave the offense more possession than they probably should have.

The long drives in second half and Griz 3and outs gassed griz defense.

Why can't we start games strong?

[SIOUXFAN97]

i wonder if montana realizes that when you have 2 qb's you don't have 1?

Offense and defense did wonderful job of feeding off each other.  Love how after we scored the defense forced a 3 and out and after the forced 3 and out the offense held onto the ball and kept the MT offense rusty on the sideline.  It was a thing of beauty.  Best offense is a strong defense and best defense is a sting offense.

Wonderful game to be experience in person.  Probably Top 5 that I can recall being in attendance for at the Alerus.

That said, the slow starts can't continue to be a trend.  Our QB was gritty and made some plays when needed.  But I fear this team won't go far without improvement in the pass game.

[Devils]

Going forward, it is good to see that running the ball should be a strength.  The O Line has looked good, hopefully them and Ziebarth can stay healthy.  Would be nice to see Seidl get a few more touches in space, I think he's easily the closest thing we have to a gamebreaker.  As good as we could be running the ball, the passing game is going to have to develop.  11/24 for 97 yards isn't going to beat many teams and teams will figure it out if we are one dimensional much longer.  Appears Romfo can throw the slant route and not much else at this time.  Just need him to be at least mediocre.  And he's going to have to use his legs, to go through the first half with him not having a rushing attempt is ridiculous.  Might be trying to keep him healthy but he might as well be on the sideline if he doesn't run.  

Not sure what got into the defense.  1st quarter they looked completely outmatched and in the 2nd half they really made Montana uncomfortable.  Was incredible to see how much pressure they got on the QB, hopefully that can continue.  MT has some pretty questionable play calling but we put them on their heels.  Our d backs really need to learn how to turn their head around and find the ball on deep routes.  Got away with a DPI or two in the first half.  Finally did it once or twice later in the game and swatted passes away.

Overall, I think if we play MT 10 times we probably beat them once or twice.  We just found a wave and rode it.

egriz.com sounds just like this board did the first half.

Actually feel the opposite and if we play them 10 times we win more than we lose.  Watching their first half TDs it was a missed tackle a really poor fit by a LB.  Not a ton of adjustments in the 2nd half, we just made plays when we got home.  
 

They have zero answer for our run game.  Next adjustment is Romfo has to pull one on the zone read and than we need to get him outside the pocket.  Play to his strength.  
Eventually he is going to have to throw, get him in position to have some success as throwing from the pocket clearly not a strength.

I thought as the game got going especially the 2nd half we looked quicker on D (could be help from crowd noise). I would have to see the replay of the game but I thought there was not as much space with our secondary as we have seen before in coverage. Another is that we did not physically look smaller on the defensive front compared to them.
 

If the defense can play like this game, and the offense can complete about 2/3 of their passes with counted success running the ball we have will be tough for anyone. 
 

Good thing about this win is we are at home the next week so a let down is less likely. However 2015 after a big road win at Portland State and we fell at home against Idaho State. We need to be effective with the pass next week or the Montana win will mean nothing.

We need to get to a point I’m not so nervous about Idaho St.  

Putting my confidence in Oregon St rushing for 300+ against them and NAIA Western Oregon going for over 100.

I know we have our history with Idaho State, but we will roll them at home. Something like 42-14.

If you score more points than the other team you win. Fun game to watch.
