Week 5 Schedule

Because of new conference, and the BOR denying Montana State a move-up; the Cat/Griz game is being played this week.....Montana's last conference game. Unless the Cats move up also eventually we may not see many more of these, because MWC rules forbid road games against FCS opponents.

(2-2) Montana State Bobcats @ (4-0) Montana Grizzlies

Here is a chance to talk some fantasy smack. :) Montana beat the Cats 28-14 in Bozeman in 2013. Early line is Montana is a 21 point favorite.

Utah State didn't play San Diego State this year. I am pretty sure we played (and beat) BYU in week 5. I know we are revising history here but that was a win for us, please don't take that away. :D

The non-conference games played are still mostly the same, but fall different weeks. Because I "expanded" the league to 14, I basically used the ACC schedule...so for example Utah State matches with North Carolina, Montana with Virginia, etc. That determined which weeks games were played. Much easier doing that than trying to create my own from scratch.

They play BYU in week 7

Working on Cat/Griz today!
 
Montana State Bobcats @ Montana Grizzlies

Could this be a sign of things to come? Not much fanfare this year for the Cat/Griz game as they are now in separate divisions. With MWC rules that UM cannot play in Bozeman anymore - then it seems likely that this rivalry like so many others will be going away soon. Most naysayers doubt that the Cats will want to play in Missoula every year. There has been some talk of maybe playing alternating years at a "neutral site", for example in Bozeman. Would that be allowed? Time will tell.

For this year, the Bobcats come into WaGriz led my senior Denarius McGhee facing a red hot Montana squad that is undefeated primarily against a weak schedule, although the week 1 upset of Oregon State is still prominent for the Griz, especially with OSU winning earlier today at Colorado 29-10, which will move them up.

FIRST HALF

Grizzlies return the kick at the start, but are unable to get much momentum going, and Shaw shanks they punt for only 16 yards. Special teams may be a key today. McGhee however moves the Bobcat earlier, with a 21 yard catch to Flotkoet, which is followed by pass interference on Nate Harris putting the Cats at the Griz 27. Kirk gains 5, and then on a 3&5, Holmes steps up big, sacking McGhee for an 8 yard loss. The Rob Ash mysteriously decides to go for it on 4th&13....and McGhee hits Bleskin for 11 yards, but they needed 13 and Montana State turns the ball over on downs.

The Griz seem to be a bit more excited on their 2nd possession, after looking pretty flat there at the beginning of the game. Johnson hits Canada, and then finds Jones for 17 yards. Marshall of MSU, must've been watching Harris as he to is hit with pass interference moving the Griz to their own 44. A pass to Warren, and another completion to Hagfors, surprising many in attendence, and the Griz are quickly sitting at the Cat 13. From there, JJ hands it to Canada....TOUCHDOWN MONTANA! And the Griz strike first Montana 7 Montana State 0

MSU has already proven they can move the ball today, on this UM defense...and McGhee quickly does so again with a mix of passing and rushing to Kirk, who has 3 nice gains of 7+ yards in this drive. The Griz then catch McGhee in the backfield, but he is able to scramble out of it for 13, and the then hits Bleskin for a 13 yd touchdown. Montana 7 Montana State 7

As the 1Q winds down, Montana has driven back to the Bobcat 30 yard line mainly thanks to a solid return by Ellis Henderson on the kickoff, and then a spectacular catch sprinting down the sideline. Johnson then hits Canada for 8 as the 2Q begins, misses Van but finds Henderson again for another catch - and 17 yards. Johnson looks off his receivers in the end zone, scrambles from the pocket, but then finds Naccarato for the 5 yd catch and TOUCHDOWN! Montana 14 Montana State 7

We said at the beginning special teams could play a big role today, and its one area the Grizzlies need to improve at but not this play - as the Cats Johnson goes untouched for a 100 yard touchdown return. The Griz held that lead for only 6 secs...and we sit at Montana 14 Montana State 14.

A fumble on the Griz' next possession ends that drive but MSU cannot take advantage as they are hit with two costly penalties, and Perez pins the Griz at the 14 with a 52 yard punt. Montana runs off 11 plays but struggles just to get back to midfield before punting it away. That return by Johnson has really seemed to slow them up to this point.

Things have been ugly this game with a lot of penalties being called, and a few fumbles. On this drive with 3 minutes left in half, Johnson is forced to scramble for 12 while looking downfield, in then hits Canada for 10 but makes an error on the next play, as Daly gives chase, and Johnson tries to throw to his receiver but Flowers tips it - into the hands of Singleton who takes it to the Griz 23 yard line, with 2:27 left in half the Bobcats are looking at a go ahead score here.

But NEZ crazies are in it, and the Bobcats are looking perplexed - Devereux is called for holding - and the Bobcats are pushed back ten yards. On the next play we have this call....

Johnson and the Griz offense get a gift here at the end of the half, and they go to work. A hitch to Warren for ten yards, and then Canada gets his 2nd touchdown of the half, and the Grizzlies take the lead into half time Montana 21 Montana State 14
 
SECOND HALF

Bobcats receive the kickoff to start the 2nd , but after a 13 yard McGhee run, he is sacked by Holmes for a 9 yard loss, Holmes 2nd on the day. Perez kicks i 46 yards to Henderson, who signals for the fair catch at the 9.

Van gets a couple of timely rushes, but a facemask on Jones is the key play that pushes the Grizzlies to the 28 yard line. Johnson does a designed run for 11 yards, and Canada goes off the left side for his 3rd touchdown of the game...a 17 yarder. Montana 28 Montana State 14

Denarius McGhee is the man on the next Bobcat drive as he catches the Griz off-guard on first on 10, running right up the middle for 27 yards. A couple of passes to Kirk and Flotkoet, and the Bobcats are in the red zone. From there Kirk sweeps right into the end zone for the score....that took less than 3 minutes...and MSU converts the XP. Montana 28 Montana State 21

Anyone know what time it is? Ellis Henderson does, as he crosses the middle and catches a Johnson bullet for 32 yards and the score. On this possession, Johnson and the Griz had been mixing it up with passes to Van & Saylor, and a nice 9 yard run by Van. Montana 35 Montana State 21

After scoring a return TD earlier, Johnson makes a mistake, as he hesitates coming out of the end zone and can only get to the 10 yard line giving the Bobcats poor field position. For the "Russian Lad", it's not a problem as he finds Bleskin for 6, then Ellis for 47, rushes for 9, another pass to Bleskin for 6 and then a 12 yarder to Flotkoet that puts the Cats on the Griz 9. However an illegal procedure call, and a couple drop passes prevent the Cats from scoring a touchdown, and the have to settle for a FG. Montana 35 Montana State 24

Henderson returns the ensuing kickoff 33 yards, and the Grizzlies turn to the ground game, as Van and Canada help drive the Grillies down field. A pass to Walcott, and the Grizzlies are at the 26 yard line, where they stall. Worst kicks the 44 yard field goal, dead center. Montana 38 Montana State 24

Lider, who has been injured this season, is back today doing kickoffs. The Bobcat special teams have been brilliant, and mystifying at times today. Johnson is back for the kick....here's the call.

here's the kick from Lider

Johnson at the 16

Touchdown Bobcats

Johnson returns his second kick for a touchdown today, and the Grizzlies are stunned a bit with 7 minutes on the clock. Montana 38 Montana State 31

From there the game gets ugly, as both sides are getting chippy. Penalties about as each team is hit with a flag 14 times in this game - guess rivalry games are like that. Johnson has a drive stopped short with his 2nd interception, but McGhee fumbles are the next offensive play by the Cats. With 28 seconds left in the game Homes picks up his 4th sack, all but sealing MWC Defensive POW. Wags had left the game earlier with a slight injury, but Holmes picked it game up very well.

FINAL SCORE
(2-3) Montana State 31
(5-0) Montana 38


Couple of things to note for the Grizzlies and their record. They had a pretty easy non-conference game schedule with games against FCS Montana State, and former foes Idaho and Massachusetts both of which are winless at this point. The Grizzlies are 12th in country in turnover margin, and have been very dominating with their front 4 on defense. Also the generic coach probably passes with the Grizzlies a bit more than Delaney did, as evidence by Jordy's very good numbers each week.
