Predictions Week 1 Playoffs -- (for entertainment only)

[kalm]

I wasn't all that impressed with SDSU when we played them last year. If MSU plays a solid game they should be able to win at home. Seven turnovers like they had last week makes it hard to read how the team is really playing. Change those seven turnovers to two and it should be a good game between the cats and bunnies.

The Griz should win by 17.

I have a feeling the Griz are up by 17 within a quarter. San Diego is the worst team in the playoffs this year. They'd struggle to beat Big Sky bottom feeders; I'd put them on par with Northern Colorado or UC Davis.

And it totally agree, I thought South Dakota State was very average last year. Their superstar running back was just a regular Joe who handles the ball a lot more than anyone else.

Pretty balanced O this season: 288 pass; 177 rush 26th overall. Don't know who they pass it to this season, last season it was the TE, RB's, FB and 1 WR. More of the same this year I suspect.

They have a RS Freshman kid named Weineke at WR who has caught 66 balls for 1300 yards. Also keep in mind that Sumner (QB) was out for a few games and is now back.

Was that the QB they had last year when we played them? It seemed like they wanted to get the running game going with their great back but when that failed their passing game seemed non existent.

Without going back and looking at stats I think they passed the ball quite well against us.

Sumner was 26/40 for 315 yards. Their problem was that they only rushed for 87 yards. Adams only threw for 217 yards, but had 5 passing TDs. We had 287 yards on the ground.

So their problem wasn't their passing game. It was turnovers and a lack of running game.
