Montana State finally found a way to answer when it mattered most for the program’s first national championship since 1984.
Montana State started this season losing its first two — at Oregon and in double overtime at home versus South Dakota State.
So, when Myles Sansted’s extra point went through the uprights in overtime for a 35-34 victory over Illinois State on Monday night in the Football Championship Subdivision title game, the Bobcats chucked helmets in the air while sprinting around with a heavy contingent of Montana State fans celebrating with them.
