BOZEMAN — It's a game the FCS world has been waiting all offseason for as No. 3 Montana State hosts No. 2 South Dakota State in Bobcat Stadium on Saturday night.
These teams have met five times since 2017, the most recent being a close 20-16 loss for the Bobcats in Brookings, S.D., in 2023. Despite the frequency these two teams have seen each another, there are going to be a lot of new faces in new roles for the teams this time around.
"Informing yourself of the past, which I’ve done a good job of, seeing how the other games turned out, talking to guys about it and also just going out there and executing our game plan and not trying to make too much out of it, I think that’s the biggest thing," said Montana State quarterback Justin Lamson, who transferred in from Stanford this offseason.
