Montana State vs SMU Prediction Thread

Post by SMU21TCU10 »

This may not be the official one, so sorry to whoever usually starts those.

They are #2 FCS, will want this game way more than we do. We saw how good the number 1 FCS team is, and even what some of the average teams can do to AAC teams. We still go 5-7 by my guess, but I think we start off 0-4. Either way I love watching SMU play and won't be one of the douchbags screaming anti JJ stuff/ Cursing our players from the stands during the game if it is close or we are getting beat

I don't predict Division 1AA games so I'll pass-but I did notice Montana St. gives up a lot of points to teams that nobody ever heard of. Gave up 24 this week to the Monmouth Trio (that's a little fraternity joke if you don't get it)

I think the team speed of MSU and the savvy play of DeNarius McGhee will be too much for SMU to handle. If y'all pass first, that plays into our hands as our d line is set up for pass rush and our secondary is much improved. Our run d is a little suspect this year, but that's expected a little with the injuries and graduation since last season. So if Jones runs the ball off tackle, we'll struggle, if not, MSU wins going away. I've never seen Jones try and establish the run so I'll say....

As much as I would like to win this game, I am not confident that we will. Montana State will embarass at home in some way and kill the rest of our season.

the good thing about FCS opponents (from SMU's standpoint) is that our guys will actually be bigger, stronger and at most positions faster. It will be a HUGE disappointment to lose this game

I did notice they had a semi close game to what I assumed was a division 3 team, but they also were probably looking ahead to their Super Bowl with us

Just wondering. What is y'all's average attendance? Are y'all usually better than Montana?

If we have a good game and they have a good game; it should be a good game!

After a sloppy win, there will be more band talk to divert people's attention away from JJ criticism.

We had 21k at this last game. Last year we avg. 18k. UM had 26k and avg about 25k. The last 3 seasons MSU has won more games than any other team in the Big Sky and has won a share of the conference championship in each of those seasons which include two road wins and one home loss to UM.

Go home bobcat, you're drunk.
