No joke . best game on is montana - montana st . its LEGIT good . 27-23 now . its tense as hell there #FCSPlayoffs
Montana’s offense is on a heater, battling back from a 20-3 deficit to now take the lead. You can see the confidence in its play-calling and execution, along with improved pass pro. The Griz are in a groove. Big opportunity for its defense here/key drive for MSU's offense. #FCSPlayoffs
