BOBCATS BY THE NUMBERS: 98 Days Until the Gold Rush Game
5/30/2020 3:00:00 PM | Football
Beau Clark was a tough defensive tackle who picked a great day to play his greatest game
May 30: Bobcats by the Numbers takes a look at current and past Bobcats whose jersey numbers correspond to the number of days remaining before Montana State opens the 2020 football season against Long Island in Bobcat Stadium's annual Gold Rush game.
#98
Ethan Bullock, TE: Big Timber's Ethan Bullock redshirted as a rangy, athletic tight end in 2019. He earned all-state honors twice in football, and and helped lead the Herders to leagues titles in basketball as a junior and football as a senior.
Ben Seymour, DL: A transfer from the College of the Canyons this summer, Ben Seymour brings impressive credentials. He recorded 19.5 tackles-for-loss in 12 games as a freshman last season, and as a lean, explosive pass rusher could impact the Bobcats as a sophomore this season.
Bobcat Spotlight: #98 – Beau Clark, a local product from Belgrade who came to MSU as an under-the-radar prospect, but who wore his love of the Bobcats on his sleeve. He was a favorite here at BBTN even before becoming the rodeo coach at the University of Wyoming, largely because he was a tough, quiet guy who worked hard to find a niche and then became a productive defensive lineman. Arguably Clark's greatest moment in the Blue and Gold came in Montana State's first home win against the Grizzlies since 1985, a memorable 2003 afternoon when Clark recorded nine tackles, three for a loss, with two sacks.
Chronology: Bart McCool (1980-83), Kip Halvorson (1984-86), Monty Peretto (1988-92), Jamie Roark (1993-94), Alex Silicz (1995-99), Beau Clark (2000-04), Matt Peebles (2005-06), Casey Dennehy (2007), Christian Keli'i (2008-11), Kris Cooper (2012), Luke Halliburton (2012-13), Riley Griffiths (2015), Austin Barrette (2016), Elu Leota (2017), Ethan Bullock (2019-), Ben Seymour (2020-).
