On the second hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez is joined by Brooks Nuanez to preview the upcoming spring football game kicking off at 6 p.m., diving into key storylines to watch and how both sides of the ball are shaping up. The two focus heavily on the defensive side, breaking down the shift away from the 3-3-5 scheme that’s been a staple for nearly a decade and into a new four-man front, discussing what prompted the change, how it impacts personnel, and what it could mean for the overall identity of the defense moving forward. They also provide a quick update from the Montana State Spring Rodeo, highlighting early results and notable performances from the weekend before shifting into a deeper discussion on Montana State Bobcats football spring football, evaluating the talent the Bobcats need to replace from last year’s championship team despite returning the bulk of their roster with only eight seniors departing.
To wrap up the hour, Geoff Safford sits down with Alex Wider, a senior defenseman for Montana Grizzlies lacrosse, ahead of the team’s senior game and final home matchup of the season at Washington-Grizzly Stadium this weekend.
