2025 NCAA Division I FCS Playoffs

Craziest damm game I ever watched. Sometimes it better to be lucky than good. Hats off to ISU they kicked our ass in the second half, but the Cats found a way to win it. Don't think my heart could take another game like that.

Big congrats, CC!

Who's the best DB for Montana St I hope they put him on Sobkowicz.

Johnny Nobody

Johnny Nobody and his friends shut Sobkowicz down last night but Dylan Lord showed up as a future star in this game 161 yds!!! And he could have had more !!!! Wished that he was bigger than 5-9 180

ISU need to start looking for a NFL SIZED QB yes Rittenhouse played well in the loss he had 311 yds 4 TDs ZERO PICKS BUT ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF OVERTIME SCORE.

[dal4018]

Bobcats score in 3 plays.

21-7 MSU, :18 2Q

Too much team speed for the cats.

Timely blitzes killed ISU Montana St had a guy named TAYLOR who was acting like he was LAWRENCE TAYLOR MIXED WITH DICK BUTKUS.

The Illinois State coaching staff shut Sobkowicz down on that last drive when they were setting up for the field goal, they should’ve used their talent and gone to him. In the second half, saw a lot of flags flown when they were going to number two. And they didn’t waste time going to him when they were down by 14 points on that touchdown pass.

But I agree with you, Montana State played him pretty well

But the Redbirds coaches got in their own way… when you have a talent like, that you go to him

Lord played a great game for sure

I can't wait to see what they do when they start recruiting they need to get a NFL SIZED QB Rittenhouse overthrew Lord 2x on potential TDs he should have had some touch on his deep balls.Yes I was shocked that they froze Sobkowicz last night this was a chance for him to show NFL SCOUTS he was WR MATERIAL.

You remember about a month ago when I told you he pushed off on that long touchdown pass

Last night he got caught, but it was kind of tiki tacky

That was Tiki Tacky last night I wonder how many scouts was at that game last night to take notes on Sobkowicz!!!!!

Were my eyes playing tricks on me, or did the ISU holder bobble both snaps on the kicks that got blocked?

Snaps were off

Messed everything up

I blame the coaches for having them on the field

[BDKJMU]

Insanity.


This was the most exciting FCS postseason in quite some time.

Agree. And the talent level is steadily improving.

It’s going to get poached by FBS.

[BDKJMU]

Congrats to MSU. But how in the hell do you have 9? false starts. I’ve been in the FargoDome and Autzen, 2 of the loudest in all of college football (granted probably neither at their loudest) and it wasn’t that many false starts for the opposing team (JMU). It couldn’t have been THAT loud.

That atmosphere seemed way better than Frisco. Having it in a real football stadium in Nashville so much better than a soccer stadium in Frisco. 35k good size stadium provided Montanas, Dakotas schools make it. ISU too as they looked like they had a real good showing.

Yep. Same thing that happens to the G5. And then new talent will sign, get quickly developed and receive exposure and be poached again. Rinse and repeat.

Unfortunately 2 years ago (Cignetti to IU) and this week I have become well aware.

Zero million can’t compete with 1-2 million which can’t compete with 20-40 million.

No shit. MSU comes to Missoula every two years, so they get the whole loud treatment as well. The game attendance was 24K, so I highly doubt they were louder than Missoula because that isn't factoring in how many ISU fans were in the crowd.

Saw the Cincinnati QB who transferred to Texas Tech could command up to 5 million.

As an aside, I heard (which accounts for jackshit) that UM running back is getting 100K. Once again, forum board, so no clue if true.

MSU has already lost two starting corners, part time starter at corner and starting tackle off the O-Line. Supposedly the other tackle, Zimmer has been getting calls almost weekly since the Oregon game, so we'll see what happens there. I saw a quote somewhere from Matt Miller the new OC at Washington State stating that if the high schooler is not developed they are not even looking at them any more. They don't have the time to develop players any more. Win now or you're gone!

[canyoncat]

Too much team speed for the cats.

Timely blitzes killed ISU Montana St had a guy named TAYLOR who was acting like he was LAWRENCE TAYLOR MIXED WITH DICK BUTKUS.

Dal, you and I had a conversation regarding Taylor a couple of years ago. You stated that he needs to be our next QB (played QB at CM Russell in Great Falls, MT) and LB in high school due to his athleticism and size. I said he was being groomed to be a LB at MSU and you thought that was a mistake or not a good idea. Funny how these kids develop and grow. Kid turned out to be a pretty good LB and has a bright future.

I saw someone break thru the line and blocked that FG ATTEMPT

I saw a guy Casey Bauman was 6-6 230 and yes he was a Washington State native and I thought guys were making a HUGE MISTAKE.I was shocked that Washington St didn't get their hands on this guy he could have been the next DREW BLEDSOE.

Sorry, I thought it was Taylor we were talking about not Bauman. It would have been interesting to see with a couple of years of development what Vigen could have done with Bauman. The issue with Bauman from what I remember was he was not very accurate.

That got me as well in 9 FALSE STARTS and they still won

Who was the QB coach at the time they should have worked on his problems.
