Junior Hunter Parsons gets his first start...
BOZEMAN, Montana – The Bobcats will play without one of its stars today when Brody Grebe misses the Sacramento State game with an injury. Hunter Parsons, a junior from Sparks, Nevada, gets the nod. Parsons has played in all nine games with 13 tackles, three for a loss, and one sack. He has a pair of hurries and one pass breakup.
Redshirt freshman Dominic Solano slots into the rotation at defensive end.

For today's Military Appreciation Day, the Bobcat football program partners with Big Sky Bravery, an organization that offers proactive support for active duty special operations forces. Special Operations Forces comprises around three percent of U.S. Armed Forces, but suffers around half of all combat casualties in recent years. Big Sky Bravery offers all-expenses-paid excursions into Montana's natural beauty for decompression and restoration.
* * * * *
FLAG HANDOFF: The flag handoff today is from former Bobcat walk-on defensive lineman Matt Brownlow to fullback Max Murphy. A Missoula Sentinel product, Brownlow joined the Bobcats after an open tryout in the fall of 2013 and eventually worked his way into the depth chart. His career peaked at exactly the right moment, when he was part of a goal-line stand in the 2016 Cat-Griz game that helped seal that win.

A pair of Bobcat ball carriers continue to pile up numbers and milestones. Senior quarterback Tommy Mellott's 3,019 career rushing yards is fourth in Bobcat history. Next up on the list is Cody Kirk at 3,442 yards.
Sophomore running back Scottre Humphrey notched the school's 25th 1,000-yard rushing season last week. His 1,503 career yards is 25th in school history, five from catching former teammate Sean Chambers (1,508).
* * * * *
The Cats own a 92 record in Bobcat Stadium against Sacramento State, and the .818 winning percentage is fourth-best against current Big Sky schools. MSU is 7-1 at home against Northern Colorado, 12-2 against Portland State, and 20-4 against Idaho State.
* * * * *
Four Big Sky running backs average over 100 rushing yards a game, and two of them get together in Bobcat Stadium this afternoon. Sacramento State's Elijah Tau-Tolliver is fourth in the Big Sky with 103.3 yards a game, while MSU's Scottre Humphrey paces the loop at 118.0. Tau-Tolliver averages 5.9 yards a carry, while Humphrey gains 7.3 yards a rush.
