Kickoff scheduled for 1 pm PDT from Portland's Jeld-Wen Field for a battle for the top spot in the Big Sky conference. The Bobcats have beaten Eastern Washington on the road and followed that with a home win over Sacramento State. The Vikings bested Northern Arizona at home and won last week at Idaho State. Quarterbacks scheduled to start are Denarius McGhee for the Bobcats and Connor Kavanaugh for the Vikings. The Bobcats won last year in Bozeman, 44-31. Weather should be partly cloudy with a chance of rain late, temps in the mid to high 60's.

Rooting for PSU, expecting MSU in a close one.

This, except for the close part.

Portland State with their 2nd blocked punt. MSU looked like crap on the last drive.

Griz didn't get to soften up PSU last week and it shows.

Right now, or so far anyway...PSU is just flat out out physicaling MSU and they are looking real fired up. Great D so far by PSU.

Go Vikings!

Even my jock is on the floor after the MSU fake for a TD.

Yep, completely faked em out on that one.

Wow, great running by PSU.

The corner play by PSU has been absolutely terrible.

Just saw a sideline shot of Elvis Akpla for the Bobcats with his helmet off...

#1 has a very cool lookin' haircut! Got the MSU Bobcat shaved on both sides of his head, and I think it looks pretty sweet!

Nice job, Elvis!

Is it just me or does the PSU QB have a really strange throwing style?

Another PF on MSU.

I think both QB's have different releases

Going to be a record day for penalties

I take it 38-36 is a blowout in SE's book.

I think the refs just threw another flag...cats did everything they could to give it away. Great game by DM, 3 td passes and one rushing TD.

4 passing TD's and one rushing

A bit off topic here, but I don't give a shit!

If the Bengals give up 7 TO's to the Bobcats, I'm thinkin' MSU will hang at least 75 points on 'em!

From what I've seen so far, I think Ash & company are that good!

Agree.

Heartwrenching loss for the Vikings to come that close, but a great performance overall by both teams. The officiating was questionable towards both teams but that did not diminish the performance both teams showed. PSU showed they can run the ball against a very fine run defense and McGhee showed that he is a damn fine quarterback. Hopefully we showed that we will never give up, something you need to win in the conference. Good win, Bobcats, but I think we showed we are not as far back as I thought we were.

you evidently didn't see our special teams today.

Props to PSU, they played their hearts out and if they keep playing like that they might end up in the post season GG both teams.

I thought that after I posted. PSU is a very good team. I will take this win and move on. The refs were horid on both sides of the ball. That 50 yard TD by PSU was out of bounds after 5 yards. MSU also got allot of calls . I don't think anyone will go undefeted in the sky this year.

I'll eat my crow. I didn't think this one would be close. Now I'm worried about looking past PSU right before our bye and a chance to get healthy(er).
