Hopefully some of the other Montana posters will post in this thread. No trolls from either side.
Game was pretty close to how I expected it to be. I predicted 41-13 in a couple of threads and it was close. In general, I thought our defense looked great against the run, but the secondary simply could not matchup against the Vols receivers, but we knew that going in. Classy comments from Dooley in regard to how Montana played the game, and how our Seniors stepped up on the defensive side.
On the offensive side, I believe that we found our quarterback in Jordan Johnson. I was very impressed how he handled himself tonight against a SEC opponent and he should have a long successful FCS career. I was surprised out TE's were not utilized more, but have no insight as to why that was, my internet signal kept dropping so I missed half the game. IMO, we should use Jordan Canada as our primary tailback.
I've not looked at the stats yet, but I think overall yardage & first down wise we did fairly well, perhaps better than I thought. I actually thought our defense would put us in better spots to score, and didnt expect the sustained drives.
Our special teams for returns and coverage sucked, just like last year. Nguyen fumbled 4 punt returns last year so I was surprised he was back there tonight, and sure enough he bobbled that first one after the 3 and out.
Congrats to Vol fans, you have a great fanbase - and I really hope you win 9+ games this year. Bray is going to be fantastic. Although you may be disappointed in how the game played out, please realize that we are not UT-Martin, and play in 1 of the 2 toughest FCS conferences in the country (earlier Big Sky foes Sac St beat Oregon State, and Eastern Washington had a chance at Washington).
I hope we both have long successful seasons. Good luck to all, and I'm remaining. Good chance I may move back to Knoxville area by end of year so you cant get rid of me that easily, if the trolls who want me gone...lol.
Thanks for the game from this Griz fan.
