Montana at UNI

[PantherRob82]

Didn't get to watch the Montana game last night, but it seemed like their offense struggled. Could Griz fans or others who watched the game fill me in? I feel like Stitt's offense is going to leave their defense hurting and UNI's run game is going to be very successful.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I didn't get to see the Montana game but watched a lot of the UNI/ISU game and UNI is tough as heck again....which is not a surprise.

Bailey is very good running that offense.

UNI's DL will give Gustufson trouble.

UNI needs a better game plan for the defensive backfield. I'm worried about Montana and EWU getting plenty of yards on us in the air. We had a starting DB go down and put a WR in his place. Not sure if he will be ready for Montana or not.

Lazard from ISU is really good, so who knows. Kupp shredded us last year with better players at DB. Makes me nervous. We can obviously run the ball.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Our defense gave up 69 yards rushing 2.1ypc and 253 overall. I am less worried about stopping the run than I was 2 days ago our DL and LBs played better than I thought they would for a first game.

Our QB is what he is and that isnt great, he has 10 turnovers in the last 2 games..................so..............Here is what I know for a 100% lead pipe lock.

I will be in Cedar Falls at 12:20pm Wednesday the 7th


Everything else is pure conjecture..............................

You gave up 69 yards rushing to SFPA, not UNI.

I think your lead pipe lock is off. Aren't you flying into and staying in Cedar Rapids and going to Cedar Falls on Friday? xlolx

I will be coming up on Thursday to hang out. :D

They struggled in the first half (3 turnovers, among other things), but ended up with 520 yards. Gustafson had a Dave Krieg kinda game with 5 total touchdowns and 4 total turnovers.

[Grizalltheway]

Hoping we can pull out something along the lines of 27-24, but my head says 28-17 UNI.

[PantherRob82]

Thanks. I think it's safe to say that everyone had some first game hiccups. I am concerned about our special teams and DBs.

[TheRevSFA]

I'm thinking 31-24 UNI

[IBleedYellow]

I gave up guessing.

Things will happen and teams will win and teams will lose.


I just expect to see a good game.

Pretty laughable comparing St Who and UNI.

[SeattleBobcat]

Montana's O-line play was awful to say the least, BG is going to take a lot of punishment. If UNI has a good power back, it's over early.

It was a very sloppy game by Montana. UNI will run all over them if they don't do anything to improve in a week.

[BisonFan02]

UNI needs to turn the UNIdome into a mini Fargodome...and the front 7 on D needs to hit Gus everytime he drops back for a pass....get some 3 n outs. If they do that, see NDSU/Montana playoff game.

Montana needs to exploit UNI's secondary and go fast/rhythm. See Montana/NDSU opener.

[clenz]

UNI's secondary scars me. We started a kid, Charles Brown, at CB at Iowa State that was a WR on Monday (though he started his career at CB.

The front 7 and offense I'm not worried about.

Montana and EWU worry the hell out of me with their passing ability

That's where I am too. They were underwhelming although other than maybe Kupp, UNI won't face another WR like Lazard for awhile I'd guess. Then again we were really spoiled with 2 NFL DB's last season.

Special teams left some things to be desired

[FCSwatcher]

It isn't going to be close, and Gus will not walk off the field. He will be punished. I will be surprised if he doesn't have 4 turnovers IF he is able to play the whole game. UNI is just to physical

I watched some of the Montana game last night, if they play like that in the UNI Dome it is going to get ugly for them.

This game isn't in WGS either.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

How do you guys think that UNI will deal with a level of physical play they wont see before or after we leave with the W?

Prepare to be punished for 4 quarters, this isnt the MVC

[Silenoz]

Glad to see the usual suspects all letting us know how badly we'll lose. Real shocker there

31-28 UNI

[Schism55]

UNI beat a P5 school on the road.
Griz struggled mightily at home to beat a bad team from one of the worst fcs conferences.

In the Griz favor is that teams improve the most from week one to week two and that a let down from UNI is possible after a huge FCS win. Other than that

Yeah and you guys lost to USD last year and UNI barely beat a bad EWU team at home without Kupp in the second half. **** happens.

I'm just saying I'd be shocked if the MVFC conglomerate on this board actually tabbed us to keep it close with you guys for once. Because we never do that or anything.

Why am I talking though? 90% of this board is Bison fans, who are UNI biggest champions anymore.

[SUUTbird]

Iowa State isn't what I would call a powerful P5 school as they have routinely lost to FCS teams in the past, it's like beating Kansas or a low tier Sun Belt team no one is surprised.

In regards to the game as long as Montana's QB doesn't play like he did in the first half against SFU it should be a good game, picking the Griz to win 28 to 24.

[Bisonator]

Griz fans seem awfully defensive. xcoffeex

[dewey]

Come on Griz! The good thing is Farley can see what NDSU did to Montana last year in the playoffs but Stitt also probably spent some time in the off season planning on how to handle that again. Should be a great game.

I will take the Griz 24-21.

We are, we only gave up 253 yards last game and I expect less this game since they wont throw on us.

[tomq04]

My heart is hoping for a big sky win, but my head says uni handles the griz by 7.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Not true, there is a changing of the guard, this weekend the BSC sweeps the MVC.....its so cute how hard they try to be relevant on the big stage.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Odd, cuz I'm reading it and I see mostly MVFC douches doing what they normally do....perspective possibly?

Not all MVFC comments are douches btw, cuz I know how that gets you all worked up.

You are going to respect EWU, Montana, & Stitt next Saturday night. At least that is what I think.xthumbsupx

[JayJ79]

good thing UNI isn't coming off a huge FCS win, then. xcoolx

I could see the game going either way. I just hope it is a good one, with minimal injuries.
And I hope there is a good, fired up crowd, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Stitt beat an average FCS team. UNI beat a bad P5 team. EWU is much more likely to upset. Kupp is a beast.

Just like the Bison will get crushed 100-0 by the juggernaut that is THE EWU......

[PantherRob82]

All I care about is that I'm glad we aren't playing garbage teams like Central State, Drake, or St Francis anymore. It's nice to have a chance to play other name programs and see posters from the board.

[kalm]

Yep, heard that about a billion times before the game in 2011.

And before we played ISU in 2012, and SDSU in 2013, and UNI last year when we put up 526 yards on them.

The Griz D and passing games are works in progress with the losses to graduation. The obvious strategy is to take away the run and make Bailey throw. Easier said than done.

This should be a good game.

I bet the players feel different given their recent struggles with FBS teams from Iowa.

I think that there is more pressure on UNI than on Montana. If UNI gets it done this week it will be a huge step towards erasing the previous long-standing relationship between the Panthers and pressure.xthumbsupx

The Griz biggest challenge on offense will be keeping their QB upright. UNI gets after the QB, leads the Valley in sacks annually. If they don't, it could get ugly!

[fencer24]

The only thing about the Griz and Gus in particular that is for certain, is that nothing is for certain. Can the Griz roll UNI? Certainly. Could it go the other way? Same probability. But playing at home may be the difference for UNI. Unless the Iowa fan base has a home football game to go to.

It's CyHawk week...in Iowa City.

If the students show up we will have 90+% capacity.

Thankfully with us beating Iowa State last week and Iowa being top 15 most people are assuming a blow out so they may drive people to go to Cedar Falls

and UNI last year when we put up 526 yards on them.

And without Kupp in the second half. Plus we sucked.

Hoping on a last minute FG for the Griz to maintain the 5-0 vs UNI.

Also hoping EWU and NAU can come away with wins this weekend no matter how unlikely. Going to be tough matches all the way around.

Honestly I'm not worried about how the Griz D will matchup against UNI's run game...its really strength vs strength......The Griz front 7 are very tough and fast.....Dline is very good against the run!!! Linebackers are fast, hard hitters....this should help spy on UNI's QB.....Griz secondary is essentially all Pac-12 or Big-10 transfers so the physicality shouldnt overwhelm them......

This game will come down to 2 things in my opinion

1)Can the Griz D hold the UNI run game....i think they can limit it with the LBs we have and good open field tackling from our secondary....i think the Griz do this!

2) Can our Oline give Brady time to throw...and run block???? I think we will again struggle with UNI's D-line...if Brady gets hit often the turnovers could start to fly.....

If you really watched the Griz game on Saturday it wasnt as close as it appeared....SFU has a safety that literally kept them in the game single handed....he had probably the best single performance against the GRiz ive ever seen


He had 2 INTs...one was just ridiculous...returned a kickoff for a TD...and about took two more kickoffs and punts to the house....i think he ended up with like 250 all purpose yards.....he was facinating to watch.

[UNIFanSince1983]

I am not concerned with either one of our lines. They both just absolutely dominated Iowa State on Saturday. My only concern is the defensive backfield which did struggle against what are some pretty talented receivers from Iowa State.

The thing to remember about UNI's ground game is that it doesn't stop.

QB Aaron Bailey is 6'2 225lbs
RB Tyvis Smith is 6'1 230lbs
RB J'Veyon Browning is 5'6 210lbs
RB Michael Malloy is 6'0 220lbs

What we saw against Iowa State was, what I call, the Adrian Peterson effect. There aren't many big runs in the first 2 quarters or so. Maybe a 10-15 yarder here or there, but that's about it other than 3-5 yard runs. However, you faced 30 run plays in the first half and no running back has more than 8 carries. By the middle of the third quarter you're still facing 5 300lb lineman and 4 running backs that are 210 plus pounds. Eventaully the 3 yard runs turn into 5 yard runs. The 5 yard runs start to hit 7 yards and then then the big plays start to happen. It's also not like Bailey and Smith are slow. They are legit 4.5-4.6 guys (Bailey might push mid to low 4.4...he had scholarship offers to every P5 school to play RB/WR but he wanted to play QB) For reference here is Bailey next to a 265lb DE for Iowa State

http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/46504053f44d029f7da3566bc2801171a36ae6b9/c=0-0-2872-2159&r=x404&c=534x401/local/-/media/2016/09/03/IAGroup/IowaCity/636085392708507212-DSC-0705.jpg

That is exactly what we saw happen to Iowa State. They kept the ground game in check the first half, but as the game wore on we saw the OL start to move the trenches back more. We saw the runs from Bailey, Browning and Smith get just a bit longer and harder to take down.

I think Montana is the one Big Sky team build to be able to withstand the UNI ground game to a larger extent and am excited to see that play out.

Bailey is a better passer than he gets credit for. If the LB's start to cheat up UNI loves wheel routes with running backs. Scored a TD against Iowa State with one to Tyvis.

Should be a hell of a game

[RedFlash]

Just my $.02 here, but a few things to keep in mind:

1.) StFU spent three weeks preparing for this game. I know for a fact that they had their kids watch hours and hours of film and I think it showed the first half that they were ready for what Montana was going to try to do;
2.) It was a completely different game in the 2nd half as Montana made some key adjustments and took advantage of the soft spots in the StFU defense;
3.) Outside of the final TD (a 73 yard pass I think) I don't think StFU had a scoring drive of more then 30 yards;
4.) If StFU doesn't have Lorenzo Jerome, this is probably a 41-14 game (at best) and no one is talking about an underwhelming performance. Jerome is legit.

Looking forward to seeing how Montana fares the rest of the season.

As always with Stitt's offense, it'll be very important for them to not have a bunch of drives fizzle out early on. Against SFU our defense was able to bail them out long enough for them to get it together, but against UNI's offense they're going to wear out real quickly if it comes to that.

[clenz]

I am not concerned with either one of our lines. They both just absolutely dominated Iowa State on Saturday. My only concern is the defensive backfield which did struggle against what are some pretty talented receivers from Iowa State. I didn't see all of the game, but I guess our special teams wasn't great either. The one punt I did see was terrible, but we were trying to do that running punt thing. Kuhter is a very good punter though so that doesn't concern me either.
The secondary worries me more than anything (outside of FG kicking). My hope is that the UNI pressure forces Gus to get through his reads faster than he wants and creates happy feet like they did with Lanning. If that doesn't happen, man it might be a long day.

The punting I think was an anomaly. Kuhter is the best punter in the league. His last punt was horrid, but they had him trying to be cute and do the rugby kick. It was a slightly shorter field and late in the game so I think they wanted him to kick a low bouncer on the run. That's not him. A punt or two earlier he sent one 58 yards, in the air, from the LOS. Well, it was probably about 64 yards in the air from the LOS but it landed in the endzone so it was only 58. He had 4 punts over 50 yards.

50 yarder fair caught at the 11
51 yarder that coverage failed on and allowed a 26 yard return...probably was a bit too low of a kick
42 yarder
38 yarder fair caught inside the 15
52 yarder that was caught inside the 20 with a 3 yard return
46 yarder from inside his own 11
58 yarder (as I said probably about 64-65 yards) that landed in the endzone
15 yarder which was the rugby style kick from midfield with 1:20 left in the game. They tried to be too cute.

Outside of that last punt he averaged 49 yards in the air on his punts and outside of the one broken return the average return was less than 6 yards.

Field goal kicking is a concern. Our kicker is a kid who transferred in from Drake, where he played soccer - not football. He has the leg, but his accuracy is an issue it appears. Maybe the fact it was his first football game in about 3 years and was infront of 61,000 at night got to him.

It's just odd going from Hallgren, Sievertson and Schmadeke to anyone else.

Honestly I'm not worried about how the Griz D will matchup against UNI's run game...its really strength vs strength......The Griz front 7 are very tough and fast.....Dline is very good against the run!!! Linebackers are fast, hard hitters....this should help spy on UNI's QB.....Griz secondary is essentially all Pac-12 or Big-10 transfers so the physicality shouldnt overwhelm them......

This game will come down to 2 things in my opinion

1)Can the Griz D hold the UNI run game....i think they can limit it with the LBs we have and good open field tackling from our secondary....i think the Griz do this!

2) Can our Oline give Brady time to throw...and run block???? I think we will again struggle with UNI's D-line...if Brady gets hit often the turnovers could start to fly.....

If you really watched the Griz game on Saturday it wasnt as close as it appeared....SFU has a safety that literally kept them in the game single handed....he had probably the best single performance against the GRiz ive ever seen


He had 2 INTs...one was just ridiculous...returned a kickoff for a TD...and about took two more kickoffs and punts to the house....i think he ended up with like 250 all purpose yards.....he was facinating to watch.
I agree with almost all of this. I really wonder how UNI is going to deal with our physicality? This isn't a MVC conference game this is big boy football.

Our special teams will be the difference in this one.

Montana will lose by 35+
Ewu will lose by only 42, but that is because NDSU will be looking towards the Iowa game. Ndsu will probably play second stringers after 1st qtr.

[BadlandsGrizFan]

As always with Stitt's offense, it'll be very important for them to not have a bunch of drives fizzle out early on. Against SFU our defense was able to bail them out long enough for them to get it together, but against UNI's offense they're going to wear out real quickly if it comes to that.


Yep...we cant give UNI any short fields when they get the ball back this weekend.....that will spell disaster.

OL still sucks may not be as bad as last year but still not good at all. We might as well not have a RT, he gets worked inside...outside and bullrushed. It's embarrassing.

DLINE is better this year across the board and depth, I think we have 4 DEs that would start on most other teams in the BSC.

There has been improvement under Stitt if truth be told. If you look at the size of the fellers he was given vs. what he went out and got..things look much better.

Trust me, we are used to 305-325 pounders on that line. We are just now starting to get back to that. The Oline recruiting wasn't Delaney's strength I don't think.

O line should be better...theyre older and bigger this year, they did an OK job against SFU....but not great.....overall they should be better than last year....

Dline as tough as it is to improve on last years...this one, many think will be better. We have great pass rushers and I think were stronger up the middle this year.....some really rock solid dudes in the middle of that d line, some tranfers.....I loved how they played against SFU...high energy swarmed to the ball and they were pretty disruptive in the backfield. Im not worried about the D line at all.

I would say defense almost as good as last year (check back after EWU game). Special teams is much worse. Offense is probably about the same.

Opponent's defensive scheme should be to pack the box and/or blitz, and make Aaron Bailey's arm beat you.

Carter Schulte DE had 2 sacks, 5.5 TFLs, and 10 total tackles. Being double teamed most of the night.

"Dual threat" QB

Bailey threw a bunch of beautiful balls over the top that Montana's DBs made great plays on. #1 for Montana had 4 or 5 on his own that probably saved 75-100 total yards and one or two TDs on.

The problem was the 2 or 3 teams UNI WRs had the DB beat he did over throw.

I knew as soon as I saw the final stats Bailey would be beaten down by Panther fans. His stat line was ugly but that's because the plays made by Montana's D. That was as good of a throwing performance he's ever had, honestly.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Honestly Montana was continually blitzing, and we continually tried to go deep. The play calling was not setup to help him at all today in the passing game. And like Clenz said there were a few times where #1 from Montana just made outstanding defensive plays. We never once tried to set up a screen when they were clearly blitzing. Terrible terrible play calling is what I saw today.

UNI another lackluster performance and a dismal season awaits. UNI continues to try to rely on defense only (Farley is a defense guy). The offense once again goes into the season without a QB or an Offensive line. I think this will be the last game I attend this year as I can't see wasting money on a team that has such poor coaching.

Until Farley pulls his head out. I'll bid my time until B-Ball season.

UNI will improve as the season goes on. To much talent not to. This is only 1 game.

[JayJ79]

I knew that UNI was likely screwed when I saw everyone predicting them to win big.
And now PN is filled with Chicken Littles claiming the sky is falling and the season is over after one non-conference loss to a perennial power.

I resigned from my odds making job, effective today.

Way to make me look bad, UNI, another reason to hate you as if there weren't enough already.

UNI only cares about beating Iowa St and NDSU I'm not completely sure why they even bother to play the other games :D

xlolx Well, it is important to have goals and be focused on those goals. It will give me great pleasure to drop them a few spots in my poll.

Yep

[veinup]

when you watch the replay tell me if you think the UNI WR who caught the ball on his knees out of bounds in the 4th quarter was actually in or not. xconfusedx

UNI by 21

(You'll want to write that down)
xrolleyesx

[centennial]

UNI can we borrow your DC to teach ours not to play prevent all game? In lieu our QB coach can come help pick a real QB, move Bailey to RB.

He was OOB. clenz and I were in the north endzone and were hoping they wouldn't review it, but the angles they had couldn't overturn it.

OOB fo sho.

As Rob said we were standing right next to each other looking direction down the sideline.

Thankfully there wasn't a camera angle down the sideline facing south.

To be fair, the FG called no good was right of my face. Pretty sure it was actually good. Neither changes the outcome of the game but worth mentioning.


Also, how the ****was there no personal foul I the fair catch in that one punt for UNI. That could have had a major impact on the game, I'd argue it did.

Not sure on the no call on that point, Clenz. I would like to know why no pass interference was called when the UNI linebacker took out Nguyen on a pass play deep in Griz territory, before he even had a chance to catch the ball.

A few great scratcher calls on both sides, tbh...

it's funny because on the espn3 broadcast they were making a big deal out of how many cameras and angles they had there, yet somehow they didn't have the right angle on that play..

agree that there should've been a personal foul on the punt. clear as day.

We don't have any good sideline or end-line angles because of how tight everything is to the field.

I also feel like we were missing about 4 cameras we normally have.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

One thing I learned is we are not a very good football team. Oh and never eat pizza in an Uber.......

The reason I'm so "upset" about that lack of PF is:

That PF gets called and UNI starts that drive from the Montana 35 and not the 50. Even if that series unfolds exactly the way where it's 4th and 25 UNI is then punting from the 50 and not UNIs 35. That means the punt is completely different. That means the chances that the tiny jukey mother ****er doesn't get to break that big return for a TD.

And who knows how each team reacts to starting at be 35 rather than the 50

He called fair catch instantly and was still hit a full second after he caught it. IDGAF of he didn't take him to the ground. He made contact after the fair catch was called for and made. That's a damn flag.

[Schism55]

Congrats to the Griz for a big win.
Jerry Louis Marie name is begging to me made into a song, get on it griz fans!
Aaron Bailey, oof. He was spraying passes wilder than my cock during morning pee after a night of vigorous shagging.

I'm not sure exactly how the rule is written, but isn't the a player supposed to clearly wave his hand above his head on a fair catch? He did a half assed little thing at about waist height that I'm sure the Griz player didn't even see.

[AshevilleApp2]

When do we get the party pics?

[uni88]

Bailey threw a bunch of beautiful balls over the top that Montana's DBs made great plays on. #1 for Montana had 4 or 5 on his own that probably saved 75-100 total yards and one or two TDs on.

The problem was the 2 or 3 teams UNI WRs had the DB beat he did over throw.

I knew as soon as I saw the final stats Bailey would be beaten down by Panther fans. His stat line was ugly but that's because the plays made by Montana's D. That was as good of a throwing performance he's ever had, honestly.
This!

While Bailey's performance wasn't great it was a huge improvement over where he was last year as a passer. If he makes similar strides over the course of this season as he did last then I think we'll be in good shape by the end of the season.

Congrats to Montana! It was an ugly game and the Griz earned the win. Their defense was excellent with the D Line putting pressure on Bailey and the D Backs making big plays. Special Teams was the difference.

I actually feel pretty good about this UNI team. Both teams showed some positives and learned what they need to work on and both can be contenders in the playoffs.

It will be interesting to see how UNI does it against Kupp & Co. next weekend.

He made the signal while sprinting forward to catch the ball. It was the exact same signal he uses all night on every punt.

Doesn't matter if the Griz player didn't see it, that isn't part of the rule. He also hit him after the whistle blew and after a fair catch was made.

There is zero ways to make that missed call "okay"

[clenz]

This!

I'm going to put chances of Kupp playing at near zero.

I was pissed during the game. Alphagriz1 has in game texts from me prove that.

The more I reflect on it the better I feel about the season. Bailey, even though Pike hates him, made throws last night and Montana's DBs made plays. Yes, he missed some but if the DBs don't make the plays they do his line is probably 20 or 21 of 36 for 250+ yards and a couple scores.

He did that while having about 1.3 seconds to make his reads.

[PantherRob82]

I also thought Bailey made some decent throws and you can read threads from last year showing I never defended him.

[clenz]

Same here. I was as anti Bailey through most of last year as anyone. He gets way too much **** from UNI fans that only watch the ball when watching games. They don't watch anything else develop. They don't watch how well a secondary might play the pass

Bailey threw the vast majority of his passes last night as well as yo could. The Montana secondary is just really damn good.

Also, Bailey can run and isn't a white pocket passer. Thus, UNI fans will always hate him.

As I said at Los Cabos last night, I hate our fan base most of the time.

Not sure if it's really a racial thing, or more of a dislike of playing style.
But "the world may never know", as I don't know if UNI will ever play with a white "dual threat" QB or a black "pocket passer" QB, to make any comparison of reactions.

Pat Grace, outside of being a hot head, was more or less universally loved/liked at a quarterback.

Truth. Not all of us have the same perspective as you regarding UNI's love of awful white QBs....since you know... :D

Yeah, whatever happened to him? I thought he played at Wa Griz, but I could be mistaken.xlolx

[JayJ79]

I seem to remember plenty of complaints about him.

besides, Grace had better passing numbers and didn't rush as often as Bailey.

We won't know how good Montana's secondary is until the NAU game.

Oddly enough there are really only 3 good passing attacks remaining in the BSC this year.
