10/27/2019 3:41:00 PM | Football
MSU has allowed exactly 16 points in two of its last 10 losses
A quick look back at Montana State's 16-12 loss at North Dakota on Saturday...
POST-GAME NEWS & NOTES
Injury Report: Doubtful/Out – WR Willie Patterson, CB Ty Okada, TE Jacob Hadley, LB Michael Jobman
• In its last 10 losses MSU has allowed exactly 16 points twice (16-12 at North Dakota yesterday, 16-14 to Kennesaw State in 2017), two of the four losses during Jeff Choate's tenure in which the team has held an opponent to fewer than 20 points. The Cats are 6-4 in such games under Choate.
• Freshman running back DeMareus Hosey's 49-yard first quarter run at North Dakota eclipsed the 40 yards he'd gained on 14 carries in his first three games as a Bobcat, and he finished with 76 yards.
• Montana State has rushed for 1,339 yards in the last five games, with only 79 yards from starting running back Isaiah Ifanse.
• Troy Andersen's touchdown run was his 31st as a Bobcat, the second-most in school history (behind Cody Kirk's school record of 47).
• Montana State has forced at least one turnover in 19 consecutive games, and Saturday's came when Josh Hill recovered a fumbled forced by Jahque Alleyne.
• Callahan O'Reilly's 11 tackles at UND gives him 38 in the last three games, with at least 11 in all three.
• Troy Andersen's 12 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and 2.5 tackles-for-loss were all career highs on Saturday.
• The Bobcats have lost just 11 fumbles in the last 32 games.
• Montana State has run 113 plays in the fourth quarter against FCS opponents this season, with 87 of them running plays.
• Bryce Sterk is 5th in the FCS in sacks (1.19), and 10th in tackles for loss (1.7) per game
• Montana State was flagged for just four penalties at North Dakota, and its 42 penalties on the season is the fewest in the Big Sky.
• In spite of allowing three sacks at North Dakota and seven in the last two games, the Bobcats remain 13th in the FCS with only 1.13 allowed per game.
• Montana State has allowed 48 fourth-quarter points this season (21 of them at Cal Poly).
• Montana State has out-scored its opponents 136-71 after halftime.
