MSU heads to Ogden after bye week
After a week of physical recovery, Montana State returns to action after its bye week with a road trip to Weber State. By kickoff the Bobcats will have played just one home game since five weeks, but that home game was a 36-7 win over #15 Northern Arizona. Montana State's week off gave the team time to recover, with the possibility of starting defensive end Preston Gale returning by Saturday's contest. The Wildcats put MSU on notice by whipping Stephen F. Austin 50-40 in the season opener, while the Lumberjacks topped MSU 52-38 in week four.
