1) The 2018 game comparison by Tootell was a shipwreck. He said that MSU didn't dominate in that game. I'd argue that they did. From the 8:00 minute mark of the second quarter to the finish, the score was 29-3. MSU was scoring and defending (points wise) better than it did in the 2019 game. I get that the final score and the way it ended doesn't say blowout.
UM's last seven possessions: punt, half, missed FG, punt, FG, fumble, fumble. (Their best possession was when they kept eking out first downs on 3rd and long and got a FG)
MSU's last eight possessions: punt, TD, punt, punt, TD, TD, TD, game.
2) In defending UM's defense Colter notes that they held WSU to 3 points until the end of the game. This is true, but Weber isn't a high-octan team and they had several key players out or not at 100% for that game, not too mention it was in Missoula. Weber was last in total offense and terrible throwing the ball. Griz fans made so much of that game, but didn't take into account how wounded the Wildcats were. Three weeks later they don't come close to replicating that.

You can’t blame them. Hauck has a history of blackballing media outlets. They absolutely cannot say anything bad about Robbie. That would definitely push BobBy over the edge. Probably not wise to not make excuses for any losses.
The loss last year was a bad matchup scheme-wise. I couldn’t believe they went along with Hauck’s line about prepping for Troy on offense.
The loss in 2018 was bad luck. (Even if Eastwood doesn’t fumble (2-yard line) or UM recovers (3-yard line) it’s fourth and goal from the 2. The NFL runs it two-point conversions from the 2. 48% success rate. College from the 3. 40% success rate. The advantage goes to MSU in both cases.

350+ yards a game the last 4 years ---> 4 wins. The Recipe is simple. The Griz can't stop it (The Cats NDSU'd their ass). They can make all the excuses in the world they want, but they couldn't stop it. The Cats may have lost to NDSU in consecutive years, but playing them each year has definitely been a good experience going forward. Olson and Hauck sold out a lot to get up in the middle and make the tackle. Once they committed to trying to figure out the play they were blasted or stuck in no man's land. Hauck was out couched period. Also, there is no mention of all the Griz turnovers in those wins. That is what happens when you play good teams and you have a high flying soft type offense. The Cats confuse you at the line then pound it down your throats (with limited turnovers).AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:02 amThe funny thing about the "we prepared for Troy" line is the Cats still ran the wildcat with Travis Jonsen and Isaiah Ifanse.

If the Griz have to compensate for smaller DL guys with the 5 man front, the same thing is going to happen next year (especially with Hauck at Safety). If they try and go more traditional with a 4 man DL, they still will get mauled up front. The Cats O is a great combo of speed/deception and brute power when you need it. Deadly Combo.

Yes, and that kinda plays into a thought that I have about Hauck. How serious is he? Too come to the conclusion that he needs to prep for TA seems like something a know-nothing, rookie coach might do...maybe. Here's Troy's touches out of the backfield over the previous 11 games: 1-7-0-7-0-10-7-1-3-7. 43 carries in 11 games. Not quite 4 per game. Add to it that MSU wasn't as successful as it normally is with TA at QB the previous year (229 yards at 4.8 ypc in 2018 with TA at QB; 258 at 5.7 w/o TA at QB in 2019) and it's just mind-boggling. Was he lying when he said that he game-planned for TA? Because MSU wasn't as good offensively using the players it had in 2018 as it was in 2019, so why would Choate go back to that?ilovethecats wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 12:45 pmHands down my favorite.

He sure doesn't seem to have the energy on the sidelines he once had. Is that just growing old or is he disinterested. He (coincidentally?) came back to Missoula at the same time his son's college career was starting. His son didn't catch on at San Diego St. and the UM job came open, so, like any dad might do, he applied and got the UM job and like most sons would do Robby followed. That makes sense, but is that the rationale. I realize Robby is good enough to play in the FCS, but not only does he start right away the defense is designed to get him in the middle of almost every play. Is the emphasis now shifted to coaching for his son? Is that plausible?
Colter says Hauck is a great tackler, but that MSU's offense was so confusing and UM's defense not suited to play against it that he had a bad day. I watched the UM-WSU playoff game and still saw Hauck getting out of position and taking bad angles. Colter used to say Khari Garcia did those things and Garcia is, IMO, a good comparison to Hauck. A good safety, but one that gets sucked out of position and takes bad angles.

There were a few different plays that we hadn't run before, but all based on the same principles and packages we had run all season long. Running Ifanse from the wildcat changes nothing in your defensive preparation, it was just more of the same damn thing.
And that's the beautiful thing of that game. UM knew what MSU was going to do, and what MSU did all game long, and they couldn't stop it. According to Colter though, MSU did well because they attacked UM's best players. Seems like that's what UM would want MSU to do.

Regardless of whether Troy played offense or not UM could do nothing against the MSU defense. If Troy had played it would have been primarily on defense and may have been an even more decisive defensive victory. Claiming UM lost because Troy didn't play had to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard a coach say.

Is the emphasis now shifted to coaching for his son? Is that plausible?
Colter says Hauck is a great tackler, but that MSU's offense was so confusing and UM's defense not suited to play against it that he had a bad day. I watched the UM-WSU playoff game and still saw Hauck getting out of position and taking bad angles. Colter used to say Khari Garcia did those things and Garcia is, IMO, a good comparison to Hauck. A good safety, but one that gets sucked out of position and takes bad angles.
