Well, I guess I disagree with a bunch of these posts. UM was a 21 point favorite at one point last week (it eventually dropped down to 14 as many bettors bet on Furman) Everyone was expecting an easy game, including me. It was a trap game. The point is, UM found a way to win. Just as they found a way to win against Idaho. Call it luck or whatever, but winning the close games is what it's all about. We DIDN'T find a way to win in close games against SDSU, Idaho and NDSU. Just because UM didn't win impressively against Furman doesn't mean they won't show up big time against NDSU---assuming of course that NDSU beats SD.

It seems everyone with a post like this one forgets about our lack of a reliable kicker. If we had one, those games would have been won.

Villanova takes a small lead in Brookings. Still early but surprising.

Nova seems to be the more physical team.

We laughed when the SDSU players were herd waddling into the warming box like penguins.

The ndsu game would've been won. True
The Idaho game would've been tied.
The sdsu game wasn't lost on a kick.

Add that FG in the first half and we are kicking for the win at the end.

Unfortunately looks like the weather kept some fans away today in Brookings.

It's a bummer that they have so much trouble getting people in the stands.

True, forgot about that one.

Yes, what the heck is going on? Is it possible Villanova is worthy? WOW.

[tetoncat]

That is the most Bobby Hauck win ever. One offensive touchdown in regulation. BOO!

Great point. Furman with offensive 4 TD’s and the gris with 1. Crazy stat.

Well, then I guess the Griz just apologize for the win and advance. Here’s a tip though: special teams. Success not by accident, but by design.

Wasn’t bashing it. Just proves all 3 phases are important.

And if Griz had lost they would have blamed special teams with the 2 missed FG.

[91catAlum]

Sdsu still without an offensive TD in this game!

Not any more, now that SDSU showed up.

I hope the players returning next season have an even worse feeling than I do watching NDSU just rolling over South Dakota 21-3 after one.

Literally “missed (X2)” out on at least a trip to the semi’s

The Brawl could have been 14-6 going into halftime, 14-13 after the Cats drive. Not sure the Cats win, but it sure feels a lot more like a game if we don't miss those two.

Welp it will be ndsu at Missoula next week. Usddoesn't have the offense to score 28 in this game and Ndsu looks like a much improved team in the last month.

Can ndsu win in Missoula next week?

And who in God's name do we root for??

No question.

That's easy. My two favorite teams in college football are the Bobcats and whoever is playing the gris.

[aucat]

I know about our kicking woes but the UM kicker surprisingly missed TWO field goals last night yet they found a way to win.

But as you say Blake glessner will be remembered for the wrong reasons

The Griz aren’t going to beat this NDSU team. I’ll wait to see what the betting line is but will probably be putting some cash on that one.

[nanacat]

So evidently SDSU had a let down game?

And the two hated teams are playing in Missoula. Ugh do I even care at this point?

I know, right? I think I want NDSU to boatrace the Gris so we get the last laugh, but then again, I just spent the list hour screaming at the TV about how much I hate the Bison.

True but he also made 2 FGs and all of his PATs.
