Bobcat Assistant Coach Fondly Remembers MSU's Last Win Against the Bison
BOZEMAN, Montana – Bobby Daly knows all about Montana State's 2010 playoff loss to North Dakota State in the last meeting between these teams in Bobcat Stadium, but he smiles when asked a simple question.
What about that 2005 game?
"Yeah," Daly says, "let's talk more about that one." That's because the Bobcats won that afternoon against a newly-minted Division I North Dakota State squad with a glorious history of Division II success and an FCS dynasty in the future. On that day, though, Daly intercepted a pass and Nick Marudas recorded 11 tackles. Travis Lulay was marvelous at quarterback in the 20-17 Bobcat victory.

Montana State experienced some shuffling in the offensive line this week. Guard Rush Reimer's injury at Montana two weeks ago slides Omar Aigbedion from right guard to left, Marcus Wehr from right tackle to right guard, and Jacob Kettels into the lineup at right tackle.
Safety Dru Polidore is also injured. Blake Stillwell starts at free safety.
* * * * *
North Dakota State has ended three of MSU's most recent four seasons. South Dakota State knocked the Bobcats from the FCS Playoffs in the semifinal round a year ago.
