West Coast FCS Teams in Semis Since 2010 & Def Line Recruiting

[sammamisheag]

2010 EWU
2011 Montana
2012 EWU
2013 EWU
2016 EWU

Interesting that Montana is the only non-EWU team to make the semis.

BTW, 10 of the top 58 high school def tackles and def ends in 2017 class are in the West. Validates the claim of others that level of DT talent in West isn't as strong as other areas. Per Scout.com

And I'm guessing all 10 of them will be going to P5 schools. This is just a tough position to recruit for anyone outside the P5 conferences and the real gap between the them and us.

I think Montana had to forfeit their 2011 playoff wins so technically no other BSC has made the semis this decade. I don't even think anyone outside of EWU has made the quarters for that matter.

Did they really have to surrender those wins? I wasn't aware of that. I thought that it was a reduction in scholarships and a year or two ban from the playoffs.

Yes, they had to surrender that entire season. Although, from my perspective, they still made the semi's that season.

Maybe the Dline types are playing soccer! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Rontheoldwiseeagle]

Maybe Coffman can fined us some down under talent off the Rugbe teams? It's working for the BB team!

Quarterfinals Since 2010

2010 EWU
2011 Montana and Montana State
2012 EWU and Montana State
2013 EWU
2014 EWU
2015 No Big Sky Teams in Quarters
2016 EWU

Interesting Montana State has been to the quarters twice since 2010 and Montana only once. Wow. Griz made semis in 2000, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2009. Six times in 2000s. None this decade. No wonder Griz fans are livid these days. Dang!

Montana is still reeling from all of the scandal and NCAA sanctions. I think it will take a while for them to fully recover from that mess.

i expect they'll be back sooner than later. And I welcome that.
