APPALACHIAN STATE VS. MONTANA 2009 NATIONAL SEMIFINAL

[09griz]

What do you guys think? Will we see Montana, like they have with most games this season, come out and dominate the second half? Or is ASU going to be able to control the usual Griz onslaught in the third and fourth quarter?

High scoring game or not?

[B&G]

I might be one of the minority who thinks this could be a low scoring game.

I think its going to be a high scoring affair - Montana has scored higher than 30 in all their games except 2 (@ UC Davis and @ Idaho State), and higher than 40 6 times (4 regular season, 2 playoffs). Apps defense is getting better, but I'm not going to underestimate the Griz offense.

I think the game is going to be similar to Richmond - i.e. last person to possess the ball wins, OR that the either team's defense wins the game for them on a turnover, as both teams have proven that they can force a turnover.

Here's to the matchup of the decade!

I think you are right. The way I see it, there will either be about 100 points scored, or maybe like 41

I just read a lot of things here and wanted to post, but it's Friday, I'm Tired, so I'll just stick with saying, Montana is toast!

I bet both teams will outscore whoever Kansas plays in the basketball game right before kickoff

Final score:

521 to 520

After reading the App player's comments about the Griz, I think they underestimate them. Montana will have to adjust to the spread and I believe App will find better athletes than they are expecting. I look for the score similar to the App/UR game....high 30's

UPDATE: 22Hrs. 07 Mins. 30 Sec. TO KICK OFF

I'm gonna say 27 24, Brody McKnight misses another PAT but it doesn't matter as ASU comes up short in the end.
