Bozeman hadn’t seen anything like it since the mid 1980s. As the clock wound down to triple zeros the 20,000 plus in attendance at Bobcat Stadium on Saturday stormed the field. Quarterback Tommy Mellott cried as his teammates congragulated him on the bench. The Bobcats had punched their ticket to Frisco, TX and earned the right to take on North Dakota State for the FCS championship next month.
It’s easy to look at this year’s MSU squad and say they stuck to the tried and true blueprint of tough defense and a bruising run game to get this far and let’s not it get it wrong, the Bobcats do boast both of those things.
