Interesting “discussion” going on on the Bobcat nation board. There is a pretty heated discussion on who should start at QB for them now that Mellot is cleared. I the the saner heads are saying leave Chambers in but many are saying that Mellot should start (apparently the touchdown Tommy bunch still thinking about last year and the fact the Mellot is a local boy from Butte. From my observations Chambers is a far better passer and equal or better runner. He is also bigger so takes hits better. Mellot had the Luxury of having McCutheon grabbing floated 50/50 balls. Will be interesting to follow the “controversy”. IMO crazy to demote Chambers after what he has done the past 3 games.

Our game is at 4pm. Those published times must be EST.

yes, as I noted EDT. I think we go standard time in a couple weeks.

Mellot starting for MSU. What kind of a message does that send to Sean Chambers? Yah, you do ok but not good enough?

It sends the message that a player doesn’t lose a job due to injury. Hard to maintain that in real life, but I recall the Oakland Raiders had that philosophy at one time.

yah, I’ve heard that but disheartening for the guy who plays better. Ultimately it’s performance on the field.

30-7 Idaho State over Poly with 13:00 to go in 2nd period. Poly defense a sieve against rushing offense.

Idaho 22 Montana 13 1:54 to go 3rd quarter. Great game to watch.

37-31, Poly rallying. 5 minutes left.

SLO got a big 4th down stop, then their QB throws a pick. About 2 minutes left, no TOs.

Cal loses ugly to Colorado, FYI.

Make that previously winless Colorado. 20-13 in OT. Buff fans stormed the field. Cal receivers dropped two catchable balls in the end zone in the OT.

South Dakota State beat North Dakota State, 23-21, in Fargo.

great come from behind win for the bunnies.

Idaho over Montana in Missoula. Idaho is real deal and Montana somewhat overrated as usual. Montana QB threw 2 picks in fourth quarter.

Not to get ahead of ourselves but now our final 2 games against Idaho and Sac are looking awfully tough....

MSU 37-14 NColorado

Yep… but if there is any chance of playoffs they have to win out and beating good teams help. Tall order though.

I still don't think CU's WR caught it in bounds but then again Cal had a lot of chances to win but failed so they deserved the L unfortunately.

Idaho is looking really good. I'm happy for them since they have had several down years but I'm hoping I see a win in person next month.

Sac is smoking Eastern...in Cheney.
Weber smacks the Vikings in Portland.

Sac is going to paste Montana next week. I predict they win by at least 14 - likely more. Montana only had 220 yards total offense against Idaho.

Article in the Bee this week about Sac. They have not trailed in a game this season. Tonight was no exception.

Final scores:

Idaho 30 Montana 23
Montana State 37 Northern Colorado 14
Weber State 42 Portland State 7
Idaho State 40 Cal Poly 31
Sac State 52 Eastern Washington 28
Aggies 56 Northern Arizona 27

Hopefully the team can keep it going for the next three games but the season is going to end like it began, with very tough games.

:up: Edited

Not Big Sky, but a big game...

Idaho 1.2 yards per rush Montana 1.9 yards per rush.
Montana Presser. Bobbie Hauck at his usual amicable self. Man, how would you like being a reporter asking him a question after a loss?
