I didn’t think it was stressful at all. Frustrating yes. Cats controlled that game all night though.

That’s not to say that Vidlak doesn’t throw a mean ball. I think SFA will be a regular playoff contender.SFASawmill wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 11:31 pmOur backup Gavin Rutherford is all but certainly taking over as the starter next year, and he’s a Tim Tebow type of mobile in that he will run you over. Unlike Tebow, he’s got a pretty good arm too.

On the positive side, the Bobcats haven’t looked their best the last two weeks but are still heading to the semifinals. Hopefully they get those false starts figured out next week.

Re: Bobcats vs SFA - So not the Official Game Day Thread
It’s such a bush league way to coach defense yet the refs ignored it most of the game as MSU players and coaches kept pointing it out.BOBCATBORN wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 11:39 pmJust knock off the simulating snap count stuff - you’re all better than that.

Being generous here, penalties definitely cost us two touchdowns, great job on Myles on the FG’s, and I’d say our penalties spotted SFA at least one touchdown.MinnesotaBobcat wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 11:38 pmOn the positive side, the Bobcats haven’t looked their best the last two weeks but are still heading to the semifinals.

Guess we will see tomorrow. I hope USD pulls it out but I bet it’s similar to our games end score and the gris get the win.Cat4LifeHouseDivided wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 11:45 pmAccording to Ejizz...they are clearly the better, more disciplined team![]()

Re: Bobcats vs SFA - So not the Official Game Day Thread
Offense followed up arguably its worst game with its best game, especially against that defense. Lamson was almost perfect other than the bad pick. Jones was incredible. Davis made another mistake after an insane run but we needed him for the tough runs on that final drive to bleed clock. OL was nasty in the 2nd half.
Defensively...they made enough plays but penalties and conversions zapped them in the 2nd half. We still had 5.5 sacks I think?
Anyway, SFA played hard all game and they have dudes all over. But they were never within 10 after Jones scored to go up 14-0. Our offense was just relentless tonight. What a response.

Gave them two touchdowns. Kept two fourth down drives going.

Piggybacking on my last reply, Myles has been so stinking good! To overcome the yips and has been perfect since then, great job Myles

Always did it on a first down also so you know it's intentional and they don't seem to shiftBOBCATBORN wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 10:12 pmThey’ll just keep doing it too. No reason not to when the refs just ignore it. The whole bobcat team reacted to it too, wasn’t like it was one player.

Re: Bobcats vs SFA - So not the Official Game Day Thread
Really? Hyperbole, or do you not watch much football? Cats won again at home, by 16, could have been 27, & are hosting 2nd fcs semi in a row. SFA was good, cheapass on the clapping all game, but good. I honestly think they'd give the griz all they could handle. But c'mon man, worst you've ever seen?

Cats are young and it show at times. 4 seniors on 2 deep each side of ball. Jacks were formidable especially on the interior. Your WR dropped to many at key times.SFASawmill wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 10:53 pmI’m very proud of our effort in this one given the situation.
