Eastern's elite offense versus Montana's elite defense. Should be a very interesting game.

We don't get a crack at the Griz this season, so I'm obviously interested to see how EB3 plays against Montana at home.

What a massive matchup.

It would be great if Aggie Athletics would produce a game preview video like this one before each game:

UND 7 NDSU 6 at half. Game in Grand Forks.

Idaho State 7 NAU 3 at the end of the 1st quarter
James Madison 17 New Hampshire 7 at the half
San Diego 7 St Thomas MN 7 at 12:59 Q2

Montana state 27 N. Colorado 7, 3rd quarter.

NDSU 9 North Dakota 7 with 5:48 to go
New Hampshire 21 James Madison 17 end of Q3
NAU 27 Idaho State 7 at the half
St Thomas MN 23 San Diego 14 at 9:12 Q3
Montana State 40 Northern Colorado 7 at 13:02 Q4

NDSU doesn't quite look like the NDSU of old right now.

edit: NDSU up 16-10 now with seconds left.

#1 Sam Houston losing 10-0 early in the second quarter.

Sam Houston without Schmidt their starting QB.

NDSU-UND was a slobber knocker. Not pretty to watch but NDSU defense made the plays when needed. UND qb made massive mistake when he threw a pass up for grabs at about the NDSU 20 in 3rd quarter. Both teams had only 1 TD.

NDSU 16 North Dakota 10 Final
James Madison 23 New Hampshire 21 Final
NAU 38 Idaho State 10 end of Q3
Montana State 40 Northern Colorado 7 Final

I checked for tickets now per ESPN and prices for that EWU-UM game have dropped quite a bit from two days ago when I checked and the cheapest tickets were in the $80 range. Tickets now about $44 which is still high, but not bad for a top rated FCS rivalry game. Had I known sooner I would have gone. Oh well, I can watch/listen to the Ags game instead. With the way Cal is playing against fellow Palouse team WSU, the Ags game with Idaho cannot start soon enough.

That NAU score is a bit stunning. I thought ISU looked solid last spring. Looks like USD kind of lucked out vs the transitioning St Thomas. Scored on a fumble recovery to tie after being behind 24-17.

NAU 48 Idaho State 17 Final
San Diego 27 St Thomas MN 24 Final
Dixie State 0 South Dakota State 0 end of Q1

Not FCS but Oregon losing to Stanford in OT is probably the surprise of the afternoon.

Stanford 31 #3 Oregon 24 Final in OT

South Dakota State 28 Dixie State 0 at 3:02 Q2
Sam Houston State 21 Stephen F Austin 20 Final
Northern Iowa 34 Youngstown State 7 Final

When going to a break, the Cal Poly announcers, unaware they were on the air, said “another blowout” after Cal Polys first series subsequent to an opening scoring drive by Weber. At least they are honest.

Wow, I hope they don't get fired. They are probably saying what others are thinking.

Another "not Big Sky or other FCS," but Cal took another step towards taking a look at alum Troy Taylor. They lost to Washington State 21-6 in a game that was not that close. Happy Homecoming.

Yes, in all the Cal chats I read/follow everyone is bringing his name up. Might be nice to put Sac State in a coaching scramble and keep them down.

Troy Taylor would be a great hire for Cal plus he is a legend in Berkeley.

It looks like a lot of the higher ranked teams barely won this week.

For instance, using the STATS poll:

#7 Southern Illinois 31-30 OT
#5 North Dakota State 16-10
#3 James Madison 23-20
#1 Sam Houston 21-20

I was going to respond that North Dakota, as of now, is a top 10 team but then I remembered that the NDST of old used to hammer everyone.

That’s a long way of saying I agree with you.

EWU scores on first drive and holds Montana on their first drive. The good thing about this game is that one of the coaches will be on the losing side.

Which team do you think the Ags would want to win, considering they do not play the Grizz?

The team they play so they can beat them

7-7 in Cheney, they just started the 2nd qtr.

Montana Driving....10:42 left in 2nd qtr.

add: Montana's in, 14-7, middle of the 2nd qtr.

The audio in the background is making it hard to hear the interview with Bob.

Looks like they fixed the audio mostly.
