September is a uniquely fun times for college football fans. The new season is widely kicking off around the country and there are several matchups fans don’t get to see every day. Such will be the case in Missoula, Montana on September 16 when the Montana Grizzlies, members of the Big Sky Conference, will play host to Division II’s Ferris State Bulldogs. Now, it is not atypical for FCS programs to host non-DI opponents. In fact, it’s happening 57 times this year. What is atypical is the caliber of opponent UM will see.
Nine times out of ten, when an FCS school welcomes in a program from a lower level, the expected result happens.
