THE STORYLINE
Montana State’s first conference test of the season may be its most difficult, as the ‘Cats travel to Holt Arena to face an Idaho State team that has dominated this series lately. ISU has won two straight against the Bobcats, and four of the last five. The Bengals sport an impressive array of offensive weapons, starting with quarterback Mark Hetherington. He averages over 300 yards a game passing, and throws to an outstanding group of receivers looking to take advantage of a depleted Bobcat secondary. MSU could be without its top three corners for Saturday’s game.

NOTING THE ‘CATS
What to Watch
F Line Play... Montana State’s offensive line has protected quarterback Travis Lulay well through three games, allowing just five sacks. Two of those sacks came against Colorado State, but one came after MSU had pulled its starters.
F Big Play Bobcats... Last season, the Bobcat offense sprung 37 plays of 20 yards or more, 19 of them running plays, and a team goal this season was to increase that number. MSU registered three long plays in the opener against Adams State, one against Cal Poly, and three against Colorado State. Three of those seven plays are catches by receiver Chaz Guinn. The Bobcats got their only two 20+ runs of the season last time out against Colorado State.
F House of Horrors... Idaho State’s Holt Arena has not been a pleasant place for the Bobcats in recent years. Montana State won four straight games in Pocatello from 1991-97, but beginning with Cliff Hysell’s last road game in 1999 the Bengals won the annual cat fight in their building three times in four years due to a Big Sky Conference scheduling quirk. The Bobcats are two losses from their longest-ever Holt Arena futile streak.
Pinning ‘Em
After becoming Montana State’s punter last season, Travis Lulay used a rugby-like roll punt to average 36.2 yards a punt, and pinned the opponent inside the 20 nine times. Lulay has pinned the opponent inside the 20 only once this year on a dozen kicks, but has averaged 42.6 yards a punt, has drilled three line drives of 60 yards or more, eight of 40 or more. Included in that total is an 81-yarder against Adams State, the second-longest punt in Montana State history.
1-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89
3 6 3 2 2 0 1
Finishing Strong
Mike Kramer’s teams have shown the ability to finish strong. Between 1990 and ‘99, the Bobcats were 6-20 in the month of November without a single winning month. Mike Kramer’s ‘Cats are 7-9 in November, including a 6-4 mark in the last two Novembers that have culminated in Big Sky Championships.
Third’s a Charm
MSU surrendered only 24 third-quarter points last year, and only seven in the first three third quarters of the 2004 campaign.
Whitewashin’
Montana State has shut out an opponent in each of the past two seasons. The Bobcats blanked Saint Mary’s last October, and shut out Adams State in the season opener this year. The St. Mary’s shutout was the team’s first since blanking Sacramento State in 2001. Mike Kramer’s Bobcats have three shutouts in the past four seasons, the same number of goose eggs the ‘Cats tossed in the 15 years before Kramer arrived.
Half is Good
The Bobcat defense has held opposing quarterbacks to below 50% passing in six of the last 10 games.
Stingy
Only three of Montana State’s last 20 opponents have managed 400 yards against the Bobcats. Two of last season’s opponents -- Northern Arizona and Northern Iowa -- creased 400 total yards against MSU’s Big Sky-leading defense, while only Colorado State has amassed that many yards this year.
Youngsters
Montana State entered this season with only one senior offensive starter, and with only three upperclassmen on defense. That youth is tempered by experience, as the Bobcats also entered the year with a player with at least one career start at 16 of the 22 positions.
Turning it Over
Montana State was +6 in turnovers in the first seven games last season, with a 3-4 record in that span, but were -2 in turnovers in the last six games of the season, going 4-2. MSU was even with Adams State, but lost the Cal Poly game, in which MSU was +1 in turnover margin. MSU is +1 in turnover margin this year.

Dominant Defense, Part II
Montana State’s defense played at a historically-significant pace last year. Here is how the Bobcats stacked up against the Big Sky’s best defenses since 1981, when new pass-blocking rules changed the way football is played (including only regular-season statistics, which is how final statistics were figured before 2002)...

5. 182.1 Montana, 1988
Playing Quarters
The Bobcats held the opponent scoreless in 26 of the team’s 52 quarters last year, and in seven of the 12 quarters this year. The Bobcats have held their opponents scoreless in 37 of the last 72 quarters the team has played.
Third’s a Charm
Since the beginning of the 2003 season, MSU has surrendered only 31 third-quarter points. Of those, 14 came in the playoff loss at Northern Iowa.
Anti-Air
MSU held opposing quarterbacks to 46% passing in the last eight regular-sason games last year, and to 46% in the first two games this season.
History Repeating?
The only time before this year that Montana State played Adams State in football, the Bobcats beat the Division II Grizzlies then proceeded to lose their next three games. This year, MSU beat ASC 19-0 in the opener before losing to Cal Poly at home and at Colorado State. MSU tries to break that trend this weekend at Idaho State.
Better Handles
Montana State fumbled four times in the opener against Adams State, losing one of them. The ‘Cats responded in the next two games by fumbling only once against Colorado State, which MSU recovered. Ironically, the winning team has fumbled nine times in the first three Bobcat games of the season, losing three, while the losing team has fumbled only once, which it didn’t lose.
KRAMER’S QUOTES
On the Bobcats: “The number one positive for us from the CSU game is that our offense’s ability to move the ball in a variety of ways continues to evolve. Our wide receivers caught the ball better and ran with the ball after the catch. Chaz Guinn continues to improve, and Brandon Roosevelt got on a roll last weekend. Rick Gatewood’s return this weekend will add a vertical dynamic to our offense. I was interested to watch Blake Wolf make catches in traffic and run with the ball until he was felled by injury against CSU. He was headed for a big day. We are showing tremendous adaptability on defense, in that we’re not so bull-headed that we’re trying to be the same defensive team as when we had Kane Ioane and Joey Thomas. Our defense is changing and evolving and adapting, but it continues to play with the elan that we’re accustomed to, particularly our rush defense. I thought the front seven played particularly well against Colorado State’s running game. On several plays I saw some new individuals arousing on the defense, and Daryl Rogers is a prime example of that. He played very well at times.”
On the injuries: “Ryan Force had a marvelous game. To step into the cornerback role showed athleticism and courage. We may have (cornerback) Kory Austin back this weekend, but we’ll be without (cornerback) Eddie Smith for the rest of the season. Andre Fuller continues to grow within our system.”
On Idaho State: “Idaho State is an explosive team offensively, and they are very confident in Mark Hetherington’s ability to find receivers on the vertical plane. They are very good on the outside, with Sale Key and Akilah Lacey and Shedrack Okoebor. They are tall and lanky and they really go get the ball and snatch it. They are athletic on defense, led by an outstanding defensive back in Ernie James.”
