11-9 Ags in the 5th set. Two straight service errors hurt us but we still have the lead.

Carrade is really good also. He was one of the team leaders on the DL last season. Are they ever in the game together?

You can watch it on YouTube.

#11 SMU took the first 2 sets and the Ags came back to take sets 3 & 4. It's currently tied at 4-4 in the 5th set.

I don't think you can tell from that angle, PA. The crumb rubber from this angle appears to be outside the white sideline but it could also just be that the crumb rubber is actually kicked up in the air and is inbounds but simply appears out of bounds from this angle.

We had several key players out for the game:

S - Rex Connors
TE - Winston Williams
DB - Kam Totton
DL - Trent Carrade
RB - Chauncey "Boogie" Sylvester

I hope we are at full strength by the time that the Griz roll into town.

Post-game comments from Plough:

“I told our guys at halftime that I don’t have a 21-point play on the chart, so let’s just go out and try to make a play and then try to get a score and do it one step at a time,” said third-year Aggie head coach Tim Plough.

“This is the magic of Aggie Pride. We kept our composure and came back against a very good Portland State team. I always say you have to win all your home games and then try to steal a weird one on the road.”

Regarding the safety:

“I don’t know if that gave us a spark, but it did give us two points, so our mentality was let’s go get seven more points.”

About Treynor Cleeland:

“We’ve always known he was special, even if he still has a lot to learn, but he showed great poise in the second half.”

“It was a great lesson for him and will give him something to build on.”

Montana State 54 Utah Tech 0 - Record 15th straight win for the Bobcats.

We certainly won't have a "deer in the headlights" look once the MWC play begins!

Montana State is torching Utah Tech 54-0 with 11:50 to go in the 4th.

Idaho State 38 VMI 10 - Final

Montana escapes 28-21.

Special teams are killing SU in this game...

Montana scores on a long pass and are up 28-21.

...yeah...SU should actually be up by at least 10 but they keep shooting themselves in the foot...

Really don't understand why SU decided to go for a long pass that failed and then a flea flicker that failed when Montana has not been able to stop their running game? Made no sense...

They always seem to play us tough too.

Montana State 26 Utah Tech 0 at the half.

SU scores on a 58 yard pass but misses the PAT. The game is tied at 21.

SU has missed 2 PAT and missed a 2 point attempt and have had a FG blocked. That's 7 potential points they've left on the field. Special teams can be a nightmare for many teams!

SU scores as the 3rd Q ends to make it a one score game. 21-15 Griz early in the 4th.

The Ags pick up their first win of the season over Northern Colorado in 4 sets (20-25, 25-20, 25-15, 25-18). Next up is powerful #11 Southern Methodist tomorrow.
