FCS Playoffs

[mtwarden]

I look back at the Jacks - Bobcats game; the Bobcats won that game after two refs signaled touchdown. Fans were starting to leave and then the announcers noticed a meeting of the refs in the end zone, several minutes after the TD signals, they determined the Jacks actually won the game.

Point being, they can be beat. Definitely not going to be easy to beat, their 26 game win streak is plenty proof enough of that

SDSU didn’t play sharp against the Bobcats early in the season. Just like the griz weren’t good against NAU early in the season. If sdsu plays as good as they did against Albany it will be a 21+ point win. Only way Montana keeps it close is if the rabbits have an off game

Griz need some offense. Winning games in OT with 1 or more of your TDs the result of kick returns is not sustainable.

Lets not pretend that Albany would win a game, or be within 14 of any team from ND, SD or MT. Of the 6 teams in that area, 1 will win Natty, 4 are out of playoffs due to another team from the area, and UND had a decent season. Maybe within 14 of UND, maybe.

Well Albany beat Idaho the week before, same Idaho team that beat Mt St and lost by 2 to the griz. So to say they wouldn’t be within 14 of either of those teams seems like a stretch

That was early season; my point was they can beat

I would say that Villanova was definitely was in that game that I watched.

Griz need some better play calling....That game was tough to watch.

The offense seems to be very off/on; their defense (and special teams) is why they get to play in Frisco.

Go Jacks! Big time Jacks fan. Grew up east river in SD, went to school at SDSU. That drubbing against Albany was not expected at all, But not disappointed .

Really happy that Griz beat the Bison. Heck of a game.

SDSU was fortunate that we did not lose a bunch of players to the portal after last year. To me, NDSU losing a bunch after last year is just an indicator of coaching/program issues. NDSU has been on a coaching carousel, and was impressed with how they kept winning. All dynasties come to an end.

Do not expect to see another NDSU type run in FCS anytime soon. Their run has been impressive to say the least.

Where at East River? My wife and I both graduated from sdsu 7 years ago. Go jacks!!

Lots of good points above as to why SDSU should win this game. Should! There's a reason they still play the game! I predict an (unfortunately) big SDSU win (2 touchdowns or more), but I also wouldn't be totally shocked if it was a much closer game than I'm thinking either.

I grew up in Mitchell.

My dad and I stayed in Mitchell one night in the last hotel room available in the city, not knowing it was the start of pheasant season the next day. Had to sleep in the same bed with my stinky dad and no heat in the room.

Go Grizzlies!!

I know I am aging myself, but I graduated from SDSU in 91. Have lived in the Black Hills ever since.

 

[BadEarth]

2 very good choices! Hills are amazing

Griz wont have their homey refs in Frisco. Never seen so many no called holds and PIs as they got away with in the playoffs. And the bunnies dont play nice.

Fair points. And always hard to say in a blow out if one team played well, or the other awful.
