Good half.

1. Appears Roberto isn't healthy. We've barely seen him.

2. Defense is holding its own. Gave up 13 points to Montana on the road.

3. Deep crossing routes are hurting us. UM's got good receivers who are outrunning their trails and catching the ball away from their bodies.

4. UM's getting diddly squat in the run game. Couple of over pursuits on the QB that cost us on the touchdown run, but the backs are running straight into a white wall every time they touch it.

5. Offense has gotta figure some stuff out. We need some positive momentum on first down.

6. Our backs are struggling to matchup with their aggressive LB blitzing. It looks like right there at the end we may start thinking that Pline can be our matchup problem for them. He's made some nice snags.

7. Huff's gonna have to carry the run game. They are crashing all over our counter runs. It was clear there in the first quarter that they are going to struggle to run with #6 in the open field.

8. We've almost blocked one or two of their field goals. I still think we're going to pick off the QB.

9. think everyone would take a one score game at the half against Montana. The Griz don't play a lot of close games, so we

Passing: 5-14 for 39 yards minus the one big play.
Rushing: 14 carries for 8 yards. minus the Huff 53 yard td run.
That is 28 plays for 45 yds. O needs to do better.
FU gets the second half kickoff. Big series.

Clay told Marcus that we are down two backs - Dom and Hicks may not play anymore tonight. Terrible luck for us!

The field appears to be slippery to me. I don’t know what we can do on offense.

I would have taken a 6 point halftime deficit before the game. We know we can play with Montana. Might need a break or two.

I believe Roberto was only in 1 play in the 1st Half? His short TD run?

That's the only time I saw him in, so I guess he got hurt again then.

Have had really bad luck with RBs this year. Not sure it’s the right play but NC State had success putting their star freshman WR in the backfield a bunch to end the year. Feel like we really need to find a way to get the ball to Harris. Not sure if that’s the play but would love to see him get the ball more one way or the other.

Would also love no more drops this half.

Hate that for Roberto. He didn’t play a lot last week against Chatt. Disappointing his injury evidently didn’t respond well enough to treatment.

So much for the halftime adjustments, 3 and out. Thought Huff could have run again there on 3rd down.

Memo to Harris, never catch a punt on the 5. Big difference starting at the 20 instead of the 5.

Dumb call on second down. Get the first down before getting cute.
