Montana State (that we played), vs. Illinois State I believe. Hopefully someone else has the start time and station info handy.

Montana State is a very undisciplined team. I think they have five false starts, a few personal fouls and pass interference/defensive holding penalties. It would not surprise me to see them blow this lead and lose the game in the 4th quarter.

This game is crazy!!!

Hooo man, I hope people didn't miss this. What a game. We beat the FCS National Champion to start the year. Not bad.

Two teams playing hot potato with the win. Reminded me of the last drive of the Pop Tarts Bowl. Nine false starts by MSU is horrible. Almost as bad as ISU’s kicking game.

MSU wins 35-34 in overtime.

Had a 28-21 lead late, and control of the game.

Allowed Illinois State to score late fourth quarter to tie it, 28-28.

MSU..more penalties...had to give up possession with a punt. Illinois State marched down the field, but a late FG attempt was blocked by MSU.

Game goes to overtime, Illinois State scores in two plays for the lead. BUT, MSU blocks the extra point, score 28-34.

Then, Montana State gets a TD on fourth and ten in OT to tie it, and then wins with the extra point kick.

I forgot about the game which I intended to watch, but remembered in time to see most of a wild fourth quarter.

As Pants said, it was hot potato in the fourth with neither team taking control when they could have.

If you look up the box score, you'll see Illinois State dominated statistically....possession, yards, plays, first downs, third downs, penalties, etc. But, MSU got the scoreboard.

Montana State ends the season 14-2. Lost the weekend after the Oregon game, then never lost again.

As a former MSU student this is amazing feeling to put a Nationally Championship trophy in the case for the first time since I was 4!

Need the Ducks to double it up for me because the Raiders sure going to.

The state of Montana is the 41st state. Montana State just won their first championship in 41 years.

Wow. MSU blocks a late field goal to force OT then blocks an extra point in OT to set up the win. That's impressive at any level.

Montana State 35 - Illinois State 34

OBD defeated the FCS champ. Next, win two and be the FBS champ?

After MSU blocked the first FG they recovered and an the ball down to their own 45 yard line. they then got a nine yard pass to get them withing FG position to win it. However, a bad sack, another false start and a bad snap later it was 4th and 28 and they had to punt. It was a pretty ridiculous ending.

Also, If MSU goes to a silent count they probably don't have the problems they had with false starts. We all know they had that capability seeing as how their first game was in Autzen. Although, they only had to use it for a quarter or so.

I recall that their star receiver, Taco Dowler, had a good game against Oregon. He caught the game tying TD in the OT that set up MSU's win. The kid is a shifty route runner who finds ways to get open.
