Montana State faces its most daunting task todate on Saturday, hosting a powerful Montana team rated the 10th-best Mid-Major squad in America on the strength of its 12-2 start. The Grizzlies own non-league wins over Stanford, Santa Clara and Drake, and won home decisions over Weber and Idaho State last weekend to open league play. The Bobcats have rallied from a sluggish 2-6 start to win seven of eight, powered by an offense that has scored at least 75 points in nine of the last 10 games.
