Montana-Idaho State Ending Proves Crazy Finishes Happening in FCS, Too

The slew of absurd finishes in college football this season has not been limited to the FBS. At least it wasn’t this Saturday. Enter Montana-Idaho State.

An anonymous FCS matchup that otherwise would’ve gotten lost in the fray did not, thanks to the fashion in which Montana won. Idaho State lined up for a game-winning 34-yard field goal attempt with the score knotted at 27 in overtime, but the snap sailed over the holder’s head. Idaho State’s holder and kicker each looked like they had a chance to fall on the ball, but Montana’s JR Nelson swooped in and flipped the ball up to teammate Eric Johnson, who took it back 40 yards for the game-winning score.
