The brick wall they should be worried about is our off line and
Coker. Last time I checked they haven't played anyone the
caliber of Maysonet either. Usually when fans talk trash it
means that they are worried about the unknown, they find out on
Sat.

OK, lets talk some football, Here is what I am seeing from our
end of things.
SBU has a hell of a run game, 2 very good backs and an OL that I
don't consider huge, but it big at around #300, You OL seems to
be well coached and good on their technique. You passing game is
decent, but has weakness in that it is dependent on 1 go to
reciever, really loot at the stats, nobody else catches many
balls. I will assume that the #2 QB is as good throwing as your
#1, I say this thinking that your passing game is set up by the
run game.
On defense the Cats have a very good defense, we are talented,
deep and relentless. We dont do a lot of fance stuff, we play
base a lot and can stop most run teams. If you are looking at
stats then throw out the PSU game because we were rotating
heavily at 10:00 of the second quarter, most of their rush
yeards came against our #3's. We have a solid secondary too, we
have faces 3 of the top 15 passing teams in the FCS, our rush
defense is rated 5th and we have played 2 of the top 16 rush
teams. Our D is built to stop the run but we have to stop the
pass since we face a lot of good passing teams.
On defense I see a good solid defend in SBU, but again I see
weakness we can exploit in the quick passing game and across the
middle. Containment will be an issue for you when we are on
offense. It looks like you safeties and Cb get a lot of tackles,
If we get a run game going at all you will be in trouble.
The Cats offense seems to get the attention, even though our
defense is probably the strongest unit. Our QB is elusive and
will make plays both with his fee and his arm, he will extend
plays and frustrate your DL. We have a solid RB corp although
not as good as yours. We dont have a lot of burners at WR, but
we have some good possession receivers and will chip away at
your secondary. Our biggest asset on offense is the we spread
the ball a lot, I think we have 11 receivers with passing TD's
this year, your D will have to cover every player every play.
Our weakness is a young and light OL, but we have one of the
best OL coaches in the FCS (not bragging, its a fact) they are
good at their technique will find ways to succeed.
If the Cats can limit your run game then we win, I don't expect
us to shut you down because you are that good, but you will
probably be facing the best run D you have seen all year and
that includes your FBS games
there are a lot of similarities in the way these two teams play.
Both like to control the ball and the clock. I think the Cats
balance on offense will be their biggest advantage.
Home field will be an advantage but its not a major factor, it
sounds like we will have around 17,000 for this game and it will
be loud when you are on offense, the weather looks to be good
(mid 30's) with little wind and very little chance of precip

Good analysis Cats2506. Regarding our O-line, it's definitely
bigger than your typical FCS line, but just as importantly,
they're strong. Coach Priore was recently quoted as saying that
all starting linemen can each bench at least 400 lbs. and squat
600. A lot of lineman are big, but being able to project that
weight with strength means a lot too. I know of NFL O-linemen
that cannot bench 400 lbs.
Happy birthday to ecasado.

Just going from memory, but I think it will be the third biggest
line we will face this year, I am impressed with your OL, more
so than your RB's :o
Just as a comparison um has a huge OL, and they are very good
run blockers, (#11 in FCS) they were averaging close to 250 per
game rushing, MSU's defense held them to 168, if we can do
similar to you then we will be ok.
Granted, both you and um run different types of offense.

Just saw this over at your board- Essington is (according to
Coach) around 80%:

Keep sleeping on our rb's, you'll find out how good they are on
Sat. I guess you are of the belief that you are unbeatable. SB
has never coward on the big
stage. MS is a good team no doubt, but don't act like they are
the NY Giants. That's why they play the games.

Griz or Cats2506-- has there been any serious talk of upgrading
MSU football to FBS...or is everyone pretty content at FCS
level?

to my knowledge there isn't any interest in moving up for the
Cats, I believe that the WAC had some communication but that is
it. The school to the west of us(Montana) has played around
with the idea for a few years, but I don't think they will be
going anywhere. It is very possible for Idaho to drop from FBS
to FCS and join the BIG SKY.
