Anyway, I think we beat Yale similar to how we beat Eastern this year. We match up very well against them... everywhere.

It feels an awful lot like we are going to cook Yale next week. After watching the game, our lines are soooo much better.

Prove me wrong?!?
Nothing to prove wrong. We’ll probably open right around 2 td favorites and cover that easy and then some. Get a big lead, rest starters, win by 30
Wow, Massey has the CATS 38-14.

And the Gris losing by 3, 30-27…
That feels about right. Cats beat Top 10 Davis by 20 something. SDSU with a good QB is gonna be a load for the Panda d

Pitsenberger is a dude and he'll probably get home at least once, so I think Yale beats Eastern on points scored.

Didn't seem like Yale did a lot of motion or eye candy. Throw primarily to 2 guys and hand off to 1. Didn't seem to use TE.

#7 Pitsenberger reminds me of Cam Skattebo in many ways. They both run hard and are more than happy to hit rather than be hit. They both look like they get stronger as the game progresses. They have very similar body types, long trunk, shorter leg for their height. Skattebo 5'11" 215 Pitsenberger 6' 220.

I thought it was interesting that their QB Reno who is not terribly short at 6'2" had at least 5 passes knocked out of the air at the line of scrimmage. That among other things about their QB should bode well for us.

I also thought he looked like Skattebo or Larison too. Their Qb didn't really dazzle me any, I feel like we'll handle him easily.

Yeah Reno is a serviceable QB but no way does he pose the same defending problems that Brungard would have.

Yeah Captain Obvious told me that, and I should've given him credit for it.

But Brungard didn't have a Pitsenberger that the D had to worry about. He seems similar to Gillman.

I think the comp for Pitesenberger that Cat fans will remember is Travis Theis for USD from last year's semifinal.

Theis had more bounce. I'd argue this guy is more Dan Moore, Griz FB back in the 2011-2012 teams.

Dude is a workhorse.

Skattebo was the first person that came to mind when i saw him run for the first time.

I guess I'm not overly concerned with him because I also expect us to be up 35-7 at halftime and our run defense is miles better than Youngstown State's. I also don't expect our secondary to give up what YSU gave up in the 2nd half. The YSU discipline was insanely bad in the 2nd half as well. We make teams earn every yard with how we play defense. I expect several turnovers as well.

Ton of man on 3rd and 4th and long that gave up big plays or soft zone that gave up the cushion for the first. Rewatching Cat Griz that was a concern. Griz conerted some long 3rd downs. We have to get to QB on those. I think we will much better than YSU.
