BOZEMAN — Behind a career day from Tommy Mellott, unbeaten Montana State rolled past Tennessee-Martin 49-17 in a second-round FCS playoff game at Bobcat Stadium Saturday.
On an unseasonably warm afternoon, Mellott showed why he is the Big Sky Conference offensive player of the year, passing for a career-high 300 yards while matching his career best with four touchdown passes.
The senior from Butte tossed a pair of scoring passes in the opening quarter, first to a wide open Hunter Provience from 24 yards out. Provience saw extra action due to an injury in MSU’s previous game to tight end Rohan Jones.
