terrible weather conditions and students r shirtless

1. who schedules a night game in Dec in Montana
2. Howmany beers does it take to go shirtless while its snowing?

Maybe the terrible weather with the field covered with snow will help the underdog. GO BLUE HENS.

Delaware playing tough…
I jinxed 'em!

Not a fan of what the Delaware offense is trying to do… seems all the outside stuff is playing to Montana's strength.

Two early observations.

Delaware is running it well on the Griz.

The Griz have an uptempo offense, but Furman has a lot of experience and a game plan to deal with that. Furman has two of the fastest up tempo offenses in the country in their conference.

Huge splits on Montana OL.

Forgive my ignorance but is this referring to the large amount of space they have between the linemen??

Yes. usually the space between one lineman's outside foot to the next lineman's inside foot.

Good news- supposed to be a clear day next Saturday, but high around freezing. Give us a clean field versus snowy field and we can deal with the temp.

Delaware offensive play calling has been awful...

The Air Raid offense coaches had the idea that they wanted to create as much space on the field as possible. Forces a defense to spread themselves out further and create more space.

Other programs do the opposite. They want to "play in a phone booth" as Hendrix calls it. Linemen's splits are tight forcing the defense to play in a smaller space.

last i saw montana leads 19-6 in 2nd qtr. 3 inches of snow expected during game. delaware was a 20 point underdog.

UD's moved the ball well at times, they just can't stop Montana from scoring.

Personal opinion, but Furman's a lot better than Delaware.

One game is Friday night. Hope it’s not us.

Delaware is toast. Too bad.

They definitely have the DJ.
