Better or different?

Posted on November 8, 2006 by Colin

On tap this week is Northern Colorado, and the only thing that makes them slightly similar to UM is their name. The Griz are a Big Sky power with a history of dominance in the conference and the Bears are stumbling through their first season in I-AA. UNC really couldn't be any different -- or any worse.

This Great Falls Tribune article points to the many "contrasts" between the Griz and Bears:

  • The Grizzlies are 8-1 overall; the Bears are 1-8.
  • Montana is 6-0 in Big Sky play; UNC is 0-6.
  • UM leads the league in turnover margin (+9); UNC is second to last (-7).
  • Montana is second in scoring offense (27.9) and is tops in scoring defense (18.8).
  • Northern Colorado is last in scoring (11.7) and next-to-last in defensive yield (29.6).
"Our team doesn't even take a practice off," Hauck said Tuesday. "I can't imagine them ever taking a Saturday off."

Even so, it has to be impossible not to look past this game. I know I am.
