It’s amazing how much better Montana is compared to the ND players. 63-0 last year 55-7 this year. It would have been fun to have seen Gabe Sulser play in the game.
Or Graves too. Did we only have 5 future Griz playing? Morris mad some nice catches and had some solid seal b;ocls that led to big runs....one of them being Turners 25 yard TD.
Drew Turner, Trevor Welnel, Max Morris, Nick Germer, and Jackson Pepe all played. Turner was great, Welnel was a key cog in a into that rushed for over 300 yards, Max blocked well, and Pepe had several nice hits in run support. Didn't see much from Germer. Regardless, fans put too much stock into these games and how the kids play: good or bad. Its one week of practice with new faces and coaches. The fact they can get it all together for one game shows how talented the kids are let alone how they play in the game.
I know they don't do it this way but here is how I saw the MVPs:
Offensive - Lane Sumner and Drew Turner (they proved once again they are the two best backs in the state)
Defensive - Seth Schneider and Jory Choate (Buckingham was deserving but thought the pick six would seal the deal for Seth. Choate was an animal last night.)
Overall MVP: Mark Estes (He's such a great athlete and Coach Sulser basically slid Mark into the "Gabe Sulser" role last night. He did it all. It was a shame he wasn't selected to the initial roster. Can't wait to watch him grow in college.) and the offensive line (McElroy, Welnel, and crew wrecked ND in the second half.)
4/5 of my top players (Sulser, Askelson, Janacaro, and Graves) didn't play. Could only imagine how bad it could've been had those 4 also played.
