Montana is in it to win. I do think the crowd was affecting EW. And it looked like Barriere had some banged up ribs. He was very reluctant to run the ball. He is so impressive. I thought the MT D played him really well, but 600 yards later….

For those who care about such things, the Sac line got bet down to SDSt -6 so lot of people betting on Sac.

Incarnate Word just took the lead over Sam Houston in the 4th quarter

They came a foot short of having a chance to tie (or win with a 2 point conversion) with less than 10 seconds left.

Eastern Washington @ Montana - Round 2

With only SDSU at Sac left to play the home team has won every second round game.

I don’t see tonight’s winner loosing to Villanueva

Me either alum. I wonder if we'll see a shootout in Sacramento. Also, so far the playoff selection committee is 7/7 in terms of seeded teams making it to the final 8. Looks like they chose wisely.

So big to get a higher seed.

A Week off and a home game.

Yeah but the difference with SDSU is they were about 2 plays off from being 11-1 with a solid schedule.
While the late money looks to be going on J street, i just son’t see the Jacks loosing to them.

I was thinking it might be rare for that to happen but in 2018 the 8 seeded teams all won their first game. 7 of 8 won their first game in 2014.

Caught part of the J street radio pregame. The announcers were pleading for people to come out to the game. Stands must be sparse.

That first drive seemed pretty easy for SDSt. I didn't watch last week but I imagine that's what almost all their drives against us looked like.

They really didn't pass against us. They just ran the ball at will.

10-0 Jacks, 4 left in first. They are the real deal.

Punishing line and RBs. We would have needed time consuming plays, one TO tops, and some takeaways to prevail.

J street defending the run well up to this point.

Hauck always plays dirty. Kind of a jerk like his dad. EWU lost this game primarily on horrible special teams play (an issue with them all year). The INTs were in part due to desperation mode having arrived at that point due to poor special teams.

Sac is reminding me of a couple of years ago. League champs and rolling, then getting rolled in first playoff game. The game is far from over but SDSU must think California FCS football is sub-par. Not hard to see why MVFC believes they are superior to Big Sky.

The margin of victory is definitely surprising but Sac was the underdog today. A couple years ago was actually an upset.

I was sitting with a football coach at the basketball game today and asked about Montana’s dirty play. He agreed that was their style - cowboy mentality to intimidate you. Also, little Hauck is the worst. Referees let it happen

Little Hauck...like father, like son....

Hard to argue they’re wrong.

It's not badminton.

Sac still hanging around. Only down 14 and getting the ball.

Though having a punt downed at the 2 doesn't help them much.

Anyone a little nervous about the 4th?

FG for SDSU, but it looked a lot worse with them in the red zone. I'm listening to the SDSU broadcast and all of the ads are for farming and agriculture. It almost makes us look like city cowboys by comparision.

it’s not badminton? It’s not football, either. Twisting a mobile QB’s ankle is horseshit. Hit hard, hit within the whistle, but get rid of the crap that gets people hurt.

Only my SDSt -6 wager. Heck of a second half effort from Sac though. It looked like this was well on the way to being a 30 point blowout and yet they've still got an outside shot midway through the 4th.

Go Rabbits!
