Lonyatta Alexander Jr. right now.

That was NOT a bold move on his part lol
0 catches for 0 yards so far.
Despite him having family circumstances that apparently led to his transfer, I actually think he would have been seeing the field and ball a bit more for the Cats this season.

They are not going to put an undefeated UM team below a 2 loss Cat team. The Cats are simply going to have to run the table and beat the gris is Missoula to move a head. Even doing that, I am not sure the Cats can get get no better than a 3rd sead. They are going to need some help.
This is how I feel. It’s unfortunate, as we have a much more difficult SOS and just blew a team out that the Griz had to use gimmick plays to beat.
Everyone loves the high ranked non conference games from learning about your team and improving they are good. For EOY seeding they do not help unless you win. Better to schedule mid level teams and win out.

Who knows what the Bobcat team will look like next year, however, if they don’t lose many players I see us beating Nevada.

Well one thing is for sure, the week after the Griz squeeze by Northern Colorado we will be hearing how they are a playoff caliber squad.

Davis pulling away from NAU late. They are solidifying themselves as the third Big Sky playoff "lock" along with the two Montana teams. Weber and Sac just got started after a long weather delay, apparently Weber is down to their 3rd string QB which bodes well for Sac.

Watching the NAU game. They just seemed to implode
In the second half. Two huge turnovers at critical times. NAU looked ok, probably would had been a closer game in Flagstaff, but they just don’t have defense to help them out on the road. UC Davis looks good, their qb is and will be the real deal, I still think they had a better product last year as teams also haven’t had much problem putting points up on them.

Agreed, Davis was better last year but they're still easily the #3 team in the Big Sky and shouldn't have any trouble getting enough wins for a playoff spot.

They don’t play UNC, UC Davis or NAU. Kinda lucked out on that deal.

If the Cats finish the season without losing they’ll have the best SOS of the top teams. I think they’d get the #2 seed.

Davis is very arguably the #2 team in the BSC.

Somehow, the gris seem to be escaping almost any kind of real challenge in conference play this year. I hope we lay the wood to those guys in Missoula and expose them for being frauds. They might be, they might not, who knows? They don’t play anyone particularly threatening until the end of the season.

I think it was posted on the Vandals board that he’s out for the year with an injury.


There's the truth, and then there's what's reported in the papers.

There’s a bunch of #2 teams in the BSC. 2, 2a, 2b…it’s a six-team tie for second.
