NAU @ Montana State Game Thread

Two teams fighting for national respect.

This should be a good game. But I'm giving MSU the leg up since they are at home. But in recent years, they have been a big let down coming off big wins.

True, but remember those were Kramer teams, this team seems to have a whole different attitude, either way it is going to be a good game.

The second quality QB the Cats will face. It will be interesting to see if their D can step up again.

[SUUTbird]

If Montana State D steps up like they did last week MSU will take this one. This will be a hard thing to do however considering that the Jacks have a great offense (personally i think better then Webers in alot of ways, for example less mistakes ) The factor of the game is going to come down to the teams defenses and wether or not they can stop the O. Looking forward to a great game in Bozeman

Definitely a must-win for NAU at this point.

GAME DAY!! Go Jacks!!

[DukeJack]

Almost time for kickoff....here's hoping this one goes better

[DukeJack]

Cats hold the Jacks on their first possession, take over on their own 26

[DukeJack]

Cats fumble, the Jacks take it to the MSU 40, complete to Fitzpatrick down to the 20

[DukeJack]

4th and goal and the Bobcats stop NAU, they will takeover on their 4

[DukeJack]

MSU hits a 20 yard field goal to go up 3-0 with 4 seconds left in the first quarter

[DukeJack]

With 5:14 left in the half, MSU fumbles at the NAU 9 and the Jacks recover

Very close game so far, teams pretty evenly matched

[DukeJack]

6 yd TD pass to Fitzpatrick

NAU takes the lead 7-3, with 27 sec left in the half

End of the half, Jacks lead

[dbackjon]

How is the weather?

[DukeJack]

It was 20 degrees at kickoff, and currently I don't know. I'm just watching on BigSkyTV

[DukeJack]

MSU punts, the ball hits the NAU receiver, and the Bobcats take over at the 2

Touchdown Cats, 10-7 with 2:47 left in the third

[SUUTbird]

NAU drives, 3 stuffed runs inside the 1 yard line 4th and goal for NAU to start the 4th quarter

[DukeJack]

FG good, Jacks tie it at 10 all

[DukeJack]

Montana State holds NAU to 4th and goal, again, NAU makes the 19 yd FG to retake the lead 13-10

This Cat goalline defense is one the best I've ever seen, these guys are ridiculous

EDIT: 8:55 to go in the game

[DukeJack]

Wow, NAU punts, hits the Bobcat receiver, and the Jacks recover!

TD Berry for 14 yards!

[DukeJack]

[DukeJack]

First play from scrimmage, Isaac Bonn knocks down and intercepts the ball

Jacks take over on the MSU 31

[DukeJack]

FG Jacks, 23-10 with 2:05 to go

[DukeJack]

Jacks intercept with 1:57 to go, this should do it

FINAL, 23-10 NAU
