[JALMOND]

UM---Moore 1 yd TD run 2 pt conversion good

1:37 left 3rd

PSU 24
UM 24

[EWURanger]

Wow, Montana has all the momentum right now.

[JALMOND]

End 3rd

Portland State 24
Montana 24

[SeattleGriz]

Wow, Montana has all the momentum right now.

...and 3 unoriginal play calls.

[EWURanger]

Mcaffrey out of the game. Hope he's ok.

[SeattleGriz]

These refs suck. Montana has had to point out numerous false starts on PSU, and now the PSU defender gets totally screwed on a pass interference play.

[JALMOND]

PSU saying McCaffrey was clipped badly on the INT and is out of the game. UM was flagged for block in the back but UM TV will not show it.

[JALMOND]

UM---McKnight 28 yd FG good

UM 27
PSU 24

10 mins left 4th

There's a reason for that. Same reason they didn't show the 2nd and goal and 3rd and goal plays during the EWU game where the runner was clearly in the end zone.

No confirmation on what exactly happened so I won't speculate.

PSU---Brown 53 yd FG no good

4:14 left 4th

UM 27
PSU 24

[EWURanger]

Come on PSU D.

[EWURanger]

If PSU can hold Montana to a FG here they could have enough time to have a shot.

[JALMOND]

That kid Canada is going to be a great runner for the Griz. Really hard runner.

[JALMOND]

UM---McKnight 42 yd FG good

1:49 left 4th

UM 30
PSU 24

[EWURanger]

Montana FG good now 30-24 1:49 left in the game.....PSU possession upcoming.

Block in the back negates a good PSU return.

[EWURanger]

So this game ends exactly like the EWU-Montana game.....UM picks it off to end the game.

[JALMOND]

Kavanaugh picked off on UM 44. UM ball

38 secs left

UM 30
PSU 24

[JALMOND]

Final

Montana 30
Portland State 24

[JALMOND]

Overall, I'd say a great game played. Exciting game. Burton doesn't believe in moral victories but if we are this close to Montana and Montana State, I'd say we are getting back on track to playing tough Viking football and are close to being relevant in the conference again.

[JALMOND]

Update on McCaffrey: They are calling it a lower leg sprain. He will return to Portland with the team and will be reevaluated once they are back here. We play DIII Willamette next week so chances are good that he will miss that game but the reports that he is gone for the year are a bit premature.

[mlbowl]

I picked PSU as well.

How'd that work out for ya?

[AZGrizFan]

Update on Montana: We played 2 more quarters of good football today. That makes FIVE total.

Well, the second half was good and I think you guys found a runner in that Canada guy. Any report on Sambrano yet?

[weberwildcat]

psu went to sleep in the 2nd half. i was surprised after the first half. i hope your running back will be ok. that was a shame when he went down.
