Whew officiating gave them 7, we gave them 7, and Montana didn't know how to score on their own in the second half. GREAT win! Go Cats!

Sacks: we allowed 0. We had 2 i think? oline has been unreal on pass block in 2010

That stat line is amazing- total domination (even beat them with more penalty yards :lol:

Will this team now win out and make it to the playoffs? I think so. The last two weeks, they have got it together. I think they win out and make it to the playoffs for the third straight year.

A couple of tough tests ahead of them. Both games are VERY winnable, but I think at this point of the season I would still be VERY proud of this team for going 6-5. As much as I want to go to the playoffs, winning two on the road is going to be difficult. I give them a 50% chance of making the playoffs. Winning at MSU will bump that up to 80%.

If Arizona keeps playing like they just did we can not lose in Flaggstaf so it comes down to our game at Montana State.

Next weeks game is HUGE!! I really think that Weber can beat the Bobcats. Their D has been inconsistent all season. However, the biggest if is the Bobcat QB. Weber has to limit him...No matter, if it comes down to a shootout, I think Weber wins.

AS CATCAT always says, whoever wins the TO battle will win the game. Gotta hold onto the ball.
