So, yeah, the elevations a factor.

Re: Montana @ NAU Game Thread
I think people make a bigger deal out of elevation than it actually is. If you're in decent shape, which I assume as an FCS football player, you were, it shouldn't be a huge deal.BlackFalkin wrote:some are pressurized, but who cares. I didnt notice ANY breathing difficulties @ NAU or Bozeman

Re: Montana @ NAU Game Thread
yes they can, if weber can beat um in football that means its possible for just about anyone to beat them - if you know anything about wsu football history well, it was 40 yrs since our last conf title.dbackjon wrote:Can NAU break 11 game losing streak to Montana?
the real question is WILL NAU beat UM?
I would say maybe, but not likely due to history and the way UM has been improving play lately. I think NAU's d would have to step it up big and force some TOs.

I saw some Texas Longhorns sucking wind two weeks ago in Laramie because of the elevation.
