Weber 27
MSU 21

I'll be massively impressed with MSU if they win. It's a huge game for Weber and I think they're ready for it. MSU needs to bring its A+ game to get the win. Not a knock on MSU if they lose. This is just a tough game. All the intangibles belong to Weber.

You are the first Bobcat fan to pick us to lose. If Weber wins you'll win the thread by default.

I agree with you're points but still think we're strong enough to overcome the obstacles.


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

I agree, but if we play like we did against PSU, Wyoming, NDSU, or Davis, we won't win. Those are our last four road games, btw. We have to be good on the road.

I bleed Blue and Gold, never doubt… But, I worry that a bit of complacency after an easy schedule could be setting in with our team (I pray I’m wrong). We’ve handled the teams we should and given our new coaching staff the luxury of running games from the lead and not behind. Tonight, the cupcake schedule flips and though we absolutely should pull out this win, I hope our guys dig deep to find out who they are and where we want to go this year. We’ve been able to coast so far, it’s going to start requiring some digging from here on out and I hope our players stiffen up and recognize the difference after tonight. We have the pieces, do we have the necessary mindset? We’ll know more tonight and I can’t wait! If we lose, we will be better because of it, if we win, we will better because of it… Stoked!!!

We are an hour out of Ogden. Got a bus load of folks hoping it’s a great game with the right Cats coming out on top!

I will say 24-10 Bobcats

I would guess Hill is just saying that teams that don’t turn the ball over win more games than not, and he’s trying to be confident in saying they’ll create turnovers.

I wouldn’t consider that trash talk or insulting, personally.
I see this mostly as "we are not executing!" It's not "we lack talent". I take it he's identifying as a coaching issue...and he, as head coach, is going to get things right!
I watched some film on these guys and they looked pretty decent. Utah put them away entirely, Dixie, Cal Poly were the Bobcats Cal Poly, Drake.
They had Davis beaten and left them off the hook with 27 seconds to go in the game. 14-10 Weber suddenly became 17-14 UCD. Can't figure out how they put up 411 total yards and only score 14. That's probably what Hill was talking about...dropped passes, fumbles, etc.
Anyway, I'm not changing my prediction.

I've watched all of our games this season and every season since 2015. I've even watched most of the Weber games (mostly because they've had some big time opponents this half-season). My brain and heart are COMPLETELY torn on this game. To be rational, we should win by at least 4 but we have the capacity to end with a 2-score lead -- especially if it's a higher scoring game than many predict. But doesn't this just feel like a game the Cats are supposed to lose? The irrational part of my brain feels like Weber will get up early and we'll flail on offense as they coast to a 13 point win. Weber in Ogden is no easy task for any team, especially on a short week (I'm less worried about Weber off a bye than us off short rest, the Jay Hill Wildcats typically struggle off a bye). It feels sooooo un-2010s-Bobcats to be expecting a win here so it'll be doubly amazing if we come away with a win: we get a quality win on the schedule and we get the monkey of losing to big in-conference rivals (sans the fizz) off our back. I'll have my full trust in Vigen if he flies home victorious.

My brain says 19-9 W
My heart says 24-14 L
I'll go with my brain this week and hope my heart is dead wrong.

No prediction from me, but I'll leave you with a Jay Hill quote from a recent article. Hill talking about the cats turnovers..."You wonder why they're 5-1...but their turnovers are coming, I promise."

https://www.standard.net/sports/weber-s ... turnovers/
That doesn't even make sense. If he's implying that we would have lost any of those four games if not for turnovers..... that is an idiotic statement. Three of those wins have been absolute blowouts, and the PSU probably isn't what I'd call a blowout but pretty sloppy game with several miscues and we still beat the by two TD's in their house.

Yes, we may have some turnovers coming at some point but maybe just maybe we are really good at ball security and maybe MM is being very smart with where he's throwing the football. Trey Lance went an entire season without throwing an INT. Sure there were a couple lucky breaks there but mainly just really smart about where to put the ball.
Reading between the lines he is saying the Cats are 5-1 because of a weak schedule and Weber will be turning them over because he thinks they are better than the Cats.

Thanks for carrying the torch LibbyCat for those of us that can't be there. Scream your heads off and make everyone around you do the same... I think the team is going to need that extra boost!


Great time to be a BOBCAT!
