Bobcats vs Idaho 3rd round predictions

[rfischer94]

Many lies. No one on BN said these things.

Folks over on the Cats board are pretty confident they'll destroy us. Here are a few comments:

"We will kill Idaho. It’ll be worse than the first time. Idaho looked bad against a terrible opponent."

"I didn’t see much accuracy from the Idaho QB. Looked more like ‘huck it down there and hope my guy can run under it’"

"Idaho will struggle in the cold away from their temperature-controlled dome"

"If we play the same game we played yesterday… we will crush their soul."

That’s just weird.

Check out the Friday night thread, I think a few are familiar. . .

Blast! You're right. Thanks for correcting me.

I don’t see what the problem is? I don’t think anyone is trying to be an ass. We heard what a tough battle it was supposed to be last time too. Then we waxed them and now the storyline is it’s cause they didn’t have a qb. Like they have Josh Allen coming back for them or something.

I just don’t think they are as good as us. I don’t know why people have such an issue with fans of this team thinking this team is very good? We’re favored by 10.5 and I still like us by about double that. I just haven’t seen anything to think they can stop our offense and I don’t think their qb is the savior some may think he is.

You mean you don’t think the team that barely beat Cal Poly, and barely beat Weber, and barely beat Portland State is as good as us?! How could you be so overconfident?!

I also love how they think us being confident means the team will be overconfident.

Gonna feel good to whup them again.

It's the same mentality that Bill and Mary had. Us being confident in our team is not a slight at their team, but they take it as such. If they want to get riled up by it, that's their problem

Our Achilles h'eel has been covered up most of the year, our dbs. 1. Our cbs have gotten considerably better on playing the ball but Our deep ball coverage is still shaky at times. Our S got better when polidore came back but teams find a way to put ortt in deep coverage and it surrenders big plays. Doesn't happen much but it is a concern. Our pass rush also hides a lot of our flaws. Thing is what worked for Idaho is what was posted earlier... chunk it deep hope theirs is better than yours. I don't see that working to a high degree with us. First off its low percentage and our offense is going to make them have to be efficient. God for us we're at home so if those big plays happen our crowd can and will help us out.

2. Offense is getting more complex. We really didn't look to run most of the game Saturday. We actually played more like an NFL team, throw the ball and run with efficiency when we have to. If Idaho comes out stacking the box we showed we don't have a problem throwing the ball. But if their coach is like most coaches they are going to start with creating their game plan around stopping the run and have something complimentary for the pass game. Tommy showed great decision making and patience Saturday. I don't see them having enough horsepower to stop us and they aren't like ucd, tough as nails.

I suspect we start slow because they throw some new stuff at us on both sides of the ball. It'll be a one score game one way or the other till about midway through the 2nd qtr. We get all the info we need coaches make changes and we go into half up 2 scores. 3rd qtr on is all us as Idaho runs out of steam, becomes very predictable on offense. Our dl pin their ears and feast dbs keep everything in front and grab a pick or two. Offense does as they please 3rd qtr on. The OC stays a step ahead and we wear on them, they pack it in. Crowd will keep us in the game through the tough sledding, then take over late 2qtr into the 3rd.....Like mentioned earlier I suspect we'll get some theatrics in the ST game from them. I don't see their coach as a huge gambler so if it doesn't make sense he's not going to do it cause he knows we'll capitalize on it. Yet I do feel he's going to have some trickery to even the playing field and give his guys juice. In these games our boys have to come out and impose their will from the beginning take them out of the game to restate what's already known... we're better.

Imagine getting beat by 31, getting absolutely dominated, and thinking you will have a psychological advantage because it's hard to beat a team twice in one season (it's not actually). It's not like the first game was tight and if one or two things break differently Idaho could have won.

It is pretty funny that we're approaching gris fan status because we're confident in our team who is *checks phone* 13-0 with the best offense in the country and the 7th best defense (2nd among teams still playing).

Excellent post. Only issue is their coach is a gambler. Last year went for it on 4th multiple times in game vs Cats. He will try to do that again to keep ball away from Cats O.

This is a vastly different team. Also last year msu played them there, not making 4ths at home doesn't hurt you as bad. We're at home going for it and not making it will energize our crowd and kill them. We also are a much much better team, gambling on keeping it from us vs giving us a short field this year isn't worth it.

Now do expect him to gamble here and there yeah but I don't see a bunch of going for it on 4th maybe 1 or 2 early.... some st trickery throughout the game.

They also beat Wyoming and played Oregon to within 14 points.
Idaho got thumped in Bozeman last time but they are still a top 6-8 team in the country. They have a great coach, and they are capable of playing much better than they did last time. I still expect us to win by 10 points or so at home but they are a good team.

Everyone said the same thing when the Cats played Weber for the second time. That was a butt kicking too. I think UT Martin would beat Idaho. Idaho is the least impressive seeded team outside of Mercer. Upsets happen, but that would absolutely shock me. For Idaho to come into Bozeman and win would be one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in the FCS playoffs, ever. None of this is a knock on Idaho. I just think MSU is so dang elite and their execution has been as well.

And if the Cats’ starters played the entire game, it would have been at least 52 to 0. Adding a middle-of-the-pack QB to their offense isn’t likely to change much.

To add, Vigen is being ‘courted’ for a new job, and obviously our overconfidence translates directly to our team, making them also overconfident. Damn, we fans have some serious power!

Reminds me when I believe a Bill and Mary fan claimed they were showing the Tribe posts made in this board to fire them up… That’s just weird and creepy.
