TEAM NOTES
• Montana State’s loss to Chadron State was the program’s third to a Division II opponent in Mike Kramer’s seven seasons, and was MSU's 13th since joining Division I-AA in 1979
• Danny Woodhead’s 215-yard rushing day was the highest total by a Bobcat opponent since Ryan Mole of Sacramento State’s 245-yard day in Hornet Stadium two seasons ago, and was the highest total in Bobcat Stadium since Ryan Johnson’s 216 yards against Saint Mary’s in the 2003 season opener
• Josh Lewis’ 80-yard touchdown catch from Cory Carpenter was Montana State’s longest play from scrimmage since early in the 1999 season, when Craig Galle caught an 88-yard touchdown in the season opener against Chadron State and Arie Grey scampered 83 yards in game two against Western New Mexico
• After finishing +1 in turnovers against Colorado, the Bobcats turned the ball over five times against Chadron State, while taking the ball away only once
• With a loss on Saturday, Montana State’s string of 2-1 starts would extend to four consecutive seasons
• The crowd of 13,827 Saturday was Montana State’s best opening-day crowd ever, and gives MSU six sellouts in the last seven games
INDIVIDUAL NOTES/PLAYER OF THE WEEK NOMINEES
OFFENSE: none
OTHER NOTES: MSU managed to muster a ground attack Saturday even without its starting tailback and starting tight end, with Isaiah Taito gaining 64 yards on 12 carries and true freshman Aaron Mason getting 23 yards in his collegiate debut… Josh Lewis’ 151-yard receiving day was the first over 100 yards by a Bobcat since Rick Gatewood’s 100-yard day against NAU in game eight last year.
DEFENSE: none
OTHER NOTES: FS Marcosus LeBlanc had his best statistical day as a Bobcat, registering 11 tackles with an interception… LeBlanc’s interception was Montana State’s first of the season… FS Tyrone Henderson recorded three tackles, including one for a loss, forced a fumble, and registered a sack
SPECIAL TEAMS: none
OTHER NOTES: Jeff Hastings has hit all 15 of his field goal attempts inside 40 yards as a Bobcat… Hastings’ six career field goals of 40 yards or longer is tied for third in school history with Anders Larsson… Hastings hit two field goals over 40 yards vs. CU, the second time in school history for that feat, and his four FGs tied an MSU single-game record
