*** Ty Okada's 74-yard interception return against San Diego was the fourth-longest such play in stadium history.

[Camo_Cat]

A chance for Isaiah to crack the top ten in several categories!

[CodyCat]

It amazing how many of those records Chris Murry is in the top ten. I have forgotten just how good of a runner he was!

[Montanabob]

Troy gets to #3 on all time scoring. Mostly on defensive scoring but also from a run on offense in the Brawl of the wild.

[AFCAT]

It amazing how many of those records Chris Murry is in the top ten. I have forgotten just how good of a runner he was!

Especially, when you consider he wasn’t the starter at the beginning of his first season.

[seataccat]

This just confirms for me that Troy Andersen needs to be on the offense. Move him around frome TE, RB, WR and wildcat QB and get the ball in his hands. Don't we have real depth at LB?
Oh and Chris Murray was a real talent lost.

[blueandgoldblitz]

Maybe it's too early but could you include TD's scored in Cat Griz? Troy's either #1 or really high on that list isn't he? Maybe that's not an officially kept stat either...

[mslacatfan]

I don’t have any of that info, but if someone knows how to dig up a list I could add it.

I know I've seen that stat somewhere before. Maybe in someone's signature?

I thought it was in last season's thread and if I remember correctly he's in second place.

I’ve tried to figure that out, but no luck. I’ve gone through the past 40? years and I’m pretty sure it’s the most on that span.

I believe it is the most, because there weren’t many high-scoring games prior to that. I’ve gone through Kearney’s book and couldn’t find anything that made me think someone might have more.

I hope someone can figure it out.

[TomCat88]

Ifanse now tied for tenth in 100-yard games. Barring injuries he has a very good chance at breaking this record.

Yup, I will update today, also some kicking records to add!

[mslacatfan]

updated from Wyoming.

Glessner is off to a nice start!

I would not be surprised to see Ifanse break the career 100 yard games record THIS SEASON.

Excited to see what kind of receiving numbers Lance McCutcheon (sp?) can put up this season... it looks like him at Mckay have some nice chemistry.

[mslacatfan]

question-

who is in charge of tracking the bobcat record books on the MSUbobcats website, I have brought this up every year since he retired... but The Career All-Purpose Yards list is missing Cody Kirk (see snapshot below from the website). Cody had over 3,400 rushing yards along, not including receiving or return yards... which would put him in 5th place at least. Any help here? who updates this? is there an email of someone I can send a note to... this one drives me nuts, I see it every year and bring it up every year, and it never changes.

Prediction. Glassner kicks a 60 yard field goal in Missoula.

[Joe Bobcat]

I was looking over the game stats and believe they have a small error on the defensive stats. On the bottom line it shows #10 Body Grebe having 1 assist. During the game I definitely saw number 10 be in on a tackle. The problem is that I thought I was watching Kenneth Eiden IV make that tackle.
The roster has #10 being Kenneth and #11 being Brody. If they have changed numbers it would be nice if the roster was changed to show that, but if the assist belongs to Eiden it ought to be changed in the stats report. I have no idea who would be the person to contact on the football staff so I'm hoping someone here does and can get the correction made.

Brody switched to 10 for the road game. Colter had tweeted that prior to the game starting. Home games he'll be back to 11. One of our primary pass rush packages was Amandre moving inside next to Chase with Daniel and Brody. In all 11 defensive lineman played on Saturday.

[BelligerentBobcat]

Brody looked like he was steer wrestling on that tackle. Once he gets his technique honed in, he’ll be an impressive player.

Thanks Vim
I don't do twitter so I'll just have to be in the dark when these things happen.
