North Dakota @ Montana 9/13/25

[airmail]

CWU had over 300 yards of offense against the Griz last week, had 21 first downs, and led time of possession (although Montana scored twice in a bout 2 minutes on a couple drives in the second half... they don't need a lot of time, perhaps?).  Anyway, if we can't better CWU's stats, I'll be disappointed. I think our O-line vs. their D-line supports UND, while the flip side supports Montaynya. Special teams may be a deciding factor and I'm still pi$$ed we failed on two FGA last week. I flip a coin on this one - we just don't know what we don't know at this early stage of the season.

All things considered, I think it will be a good football game between two good teams; both who will learn a lot about themselves and what the rest of the 2025 season holds.  Is it okay to skip a wedding to watch UND football? I say yes... not missing this one!

My main concern coming into this game is Eli Gillman (should be at UND). 15 for 198 and 3 TDs last weekend. Guys a beast. We managed to mostly hold him in check last year besides a 63 yard TD run. 

I guess on top of Gillman I would say the environment scares me a bit too. I know they played at KState already so they have the exposure but I think this could be just as tough of a place to play, if not more.

Really wish I could have made the trip but I can’t wait to watch. 

Eli’s mother is a friend of mine.His younger brother is also on the squad. I put in a word for UND and emailed Bubba. He got right on it but the Griz won.

I want:

1. a win.

2. no injuries.

3. strong O and D lines.

4. one QB sac and 2 TFL per quarter.
