It should be the + as the cats had two 1st and goals and had to settle for 2 field goals. Still a good domination by the O-line against a hardy NCU defense. The D-line is truly dominating as well!Bobcatsinmso wrote: ↑Mon Oct 27, 2025 10:01 amThe way coach Vigen chewed out the O-line group in the 1st half (and presumably in the locker room at halftime), I believe the Cats will hang 20+ points on the lesser pandas by halftime. The week off rust is gone and MSU is going to start pounding and dominating the LOS more than they already have.

This. I think Tom hit the bottle early with this post. Weber does not have a good defense. It’s actually quite bad.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 2:37 pmIn conference play they have allowed the 3rd most TD’s, allow 34.8 points per game.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 2:23 pmLook it up.

They nearly shutout UC Davis in the second half last week. Ed Lamb is a very good coach, and I'm stunned he's at UNC. Nevertheless, he has them playing inspired ball and their defense can get hot and make things tough for anyone. The Cats go up against another good defense next week in Weber State. Good tests for them late in the season.grizzh8r wrote: ↑Wed Oct 29, 2025 11:12 pmLook again. They've only lost one game all season by more than a TD. They are much improved, which should come as no surprise considering Ed Lamb's track record...coloradocat wrote: ↑Wed Oct 29, 2025 9:46 pmUNCU is surprisingly 1-3 in conference halfway through the schedule but that win was against Idaho, who is lucky PSU still attempts to play football. Their only other D1 win is against Houston Christian, a bad Southland team that they needed OT to beat. They seem like they'll put up a fight for four quarters but playing 60 minutes is as close as the 2025 Bears will get to "sneaky".
The only reason they look remotely decent on a yardage basis is because half their games have come against EWU and Portland State, both of whom had some of their better games against Weber, and because the other teams are calling off the dogs at the end of the game. Sac State ran for 400 yards at 8 yards a clip against Weber, and Davis passed at will on them. In no way, whether it be tape or statistically, are they a good defense.

Re: UNC pretty sneaky too
I think Bobby was reading this thread and just wants to prove me wrong. Still, WSU fumbled on first play of the game and went 3 and out on third possession. Offense isn't helping their D.

I"m just trying to teach everyone that if you're wrong you can come out and say you're wrong. It's okay to be wrong. Just admit and move on. The game isn't over yet though, so...

Re: UNC pretty sneaky too
I just wanted them to have a good game today and then when they come to Bozeman, the Bobcats could look like they beat a good defense. Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket.

I guess we can all thank Weber’s D for teaching us that lesson.

Re: UNC pretty sneaky too
I just know the griz might put up 70 on the good Weber defense if they decide to. So if Webers D is good, Griz have far and away the best offense in the nation.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 01, 2025 1:42 pmI'm learning that people say things that they didn't say.

Sorry Tom, Griz have 366 yards of O and 31 pts…at half…against a very good Weber defense (your words). That must mean the Griz O is even way better than I realized

Only 17 points and 349 yards in final three quarters. First quarter must’ve just caught Weber off guard. 17-14 game after that

Confidently wrong is my favorite kind of wrong, especially when it’s obvious you’re playing a losing hand based on all available information.
