Week 5: UC Davis @ Montana State This is going to be a dogfight to the end.
UCD is much better than your record, I never was a DH fan, but he has built a solid team that is a perennial power in the BSC. Your QB has a quick release and is accurate, Gilliam is an absolute stud. both lines are more physical than in the past, (something I think you were lacking before).
MSU is young and somewhat battered with injuries. We go in with 1 maybe 2 RB's, a QB getting his first start as a Cat. Fortunately we get our safety back rather than starting the true Fr that started at EWU. This young team is making strides each week but still has a ways to go, especially on defense. Our run game is based on power runs with lots of motion and deception and a 240 lb QB that runs like a full back largely following our real fullback who is a nasty blocker. Elliot (RB) is good but not in the same class as Ifanse (Inj) or Gilliam. Our young OL is good at run, but struggling in pass protection, currently our pass game can be an adventure, I am hoping we can get our TE's more involved again this week. Special teams will likely be the deciding factor in this game, we have had a few mistakes but I like our chances in this area.
With the late start the fans will be primed and doing as much as possible to help the Cats.
I think it will be a close hard fought game decided in the final seconds.
