30-15 and 30-22 are both respectable scorelines. Much better than 30-8. If we get a TD here we’ll probably only drop to 5.

I enjoyed earlier they were trying to get a Go Ags chant going and they stared blaring music. Solid work!

Yeah, would have preferred two quick passes. Throw to Alan if you want to get him the ball.

I bet to 5 or 6. Lowest should be 7 since we should be ahead of Idaho.

Definitely not, though part of that could be forced errors by MSU just being better. If you have less time to throw and less space to run, you’re going to make more mistakes.

I think this one is over. We knows MSU was a level up and while I don’t think they’re 22 points better in 35 minutes of play, they’re definitely better.

They’re killing us with the out routes. Seemingly always open.

They’re getting pressure on the QB seemingly wherever they want to.

Would have been a nice play but that 3rd down throw was catchable.

Could really use points here since MSU gets the ball to start the second half.

Another turnover. Can’t have those.

Danger time.

Up 1 after the 1st. I’ll take it. Defense playing well outside of one play.

That pick hurts.

South Dakota up 14 with a couple minutes left.

Port St up 3-0 at Montana midway through the second quarter. Classic let down look ahead game for the Grizz today.

Gameday! Let's go! 5 p.m. can't get here soon enough.

My wife is throwing her parents a 50th anniversary party that day. The dinner portion of it is from 5-7. I've been trying to get her to let me skip the party if Davis plays at home that day but my argument that her parents have an anniversary every year whereas UCD isn't always in the playoffs didn't sway her at all. She said I could leave after an hour if it was a 7 p.m. game but we don't schedule 7 p.m games after October. Our playoff game in 2018 was at 4 p.m. So basically I'll have to hope there's a TV in the room at the restaurant where we're having the party.

We're definitely trending in the right direction. No chance are we only a TD underdog in this game if it was played the week after the Portland St game. Anything can obviously happen but I don't think we get blown out either.

Hopefully it's a fun game and we can at least keep it close. Would be pretty deflating if this game is built up as some huge thing for the program and then we lose by 28.

I wish I shared Dunning's optimism. Of course, I didn't think we would beat Montana either, though part of that was the game was on the road. By the ratings and results, Montana St is a big step up from Montana. The only common opponent result where we won by more was Northern Colorado. They beat Utah Tech, Idaho, Portland St and Eastern Washington by more than we did. That's not to say we can't win by any means. We're going to have to play great. If our defense shows up like last week, we've got a legit shot to win.

Bought my tickets last night so my daughter and I will be in attendance. Looking forward to it. Beating Montana on the road and a good Idaho team has given this team a sense of legitimacy that the 2018 team didn't totally have.

Correct. #1 and #2 teams get 3 home games if they don't lose. #3 an #4 get 2 home games at least (potential for more if the seeds above win). #5-#8 get one home game for sure.
