No. 3-seeded Montana didn’t let No. 11 South Dakota blink before imposing its will Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, and the Griz went on to a 52-22 romp in the quarterfinal round of the FCS playoffs.

The victory sets up what we knew was possible — an unprecedented semifinal showdown between the Griz and archrival Montana State, which will be contested next week at Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman for a berth in the national championship game. No. 2 MSU beat No. 7 seed Stephen F. Austin 44-28 in the quarterfinals on Friday.

ESPN reported during Saturday's broadcast that the semifinal will kick off at 2 p.m. next Saturday.
