I noticed several plays where EB just took the quick exit out of bounds when he saw 15 bearing down.
Just knew he wasn’t going to beat him to the edge.

Yeah there were several plays where EB3 looked like he was going to have a nice gain running outside then all the sudden TA and Ty or TA and O'Reilly were on him in a flash and he only gained 1 or 2 yards.

It was awesome seeing TnT and O’Reilly keeping EB in check… wish I could be in his head to know what he thought about seeing TA bearing down “wait this guys’ twice my size and just as fast? Holy crap..”

Troy is always seems to be more noticeable when the opponent is good.

Troy Andersen running that Idaho kid down when it looked like a sure touchdown-may have saved our season-certainly our shot at a conference title. That was one of the most amazing plays of the season. If I recall correctly UI ended up not scoring on that drive. He hit another gear on that one-how fast was he running???

Troy had some tough stretches today in terms of tackling...but boy did he lock in on those final Idaho possessions. Kenny Loggins got his helmet popped off on a designed run and it waa game over for that offense after that.

I'll also say this was a game where I didn't see us pop on defense until it was gut check time. Nothing like Griz Week to get the fires burning again.

Anyone have a clip of this play? My internet went down for a while and I missed it? And now I can’t get the replay to work on ESPN+


Some people are a lot like slinkies....... Not really good for much, but it puts a smile on your face to watch them fall down a set of stairs.

It is as right in front of us, what a WOW moment. I think the Idaho kid was just as shocked and impressed as we were.

He almost killed that guy when he attempted to punch the ball out too. I think we all knew Troy would catch him but it was sure fun to actually see it happen. Anyone else and that's a TD.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

When I saw the Idaho WR catch that ball with no defender anywhere around or behind him, I thought it was touchdown Idaho, and so did their bench initially.

It looked like a scene from a Terminator movie when Troy ran him down. It's scary how fast he is.

Troy also got picked on that play as that was his guy (maybe should've been a flag?) but then he ran him down and wanted to rip his head off.

Just so insane that our mike linebacker makes slot WRs and RBs look slow. That was a for sure TD and Troy closed a 15 yd head start like nothing. We talked about it all the way home. The play of the year for our team is a 40 yd run by the other team.

The Troy run down play was in the waning seconds of QTR 3 (second to last play).

That was blatant offensive pass interference as the TE (?) set a basketball screen against Troy trying to cover the back on the small wheel pattern. Troy knocked the guy on his ass and still chased down the RB who caught the ball. It was the most impressive play I have seen from him all season on what was a penalty on the refs and Petrino.

Troy did make some plays in this game, but for whatever reason I saw him reaching for guys and arm tackling... which never works. He also seemed to be working on his hand which may be some kind of stinger or something. BUT, he did show up in the 4th Quarter with an attitude and it was evident when he did.
