More than four decades has passed since Montana State University won an FCS football national championship. That was a 19-6 win over Louisiana Tech in 1984, for those whose memory might have fogged a bit over the years.
It's been a minute since the Bobcats finished the season on top, most recently falling in the 2021 title game to North Dakota State, 38-10. While that Bobcat team felt like an upstart roster on the rise, this year's version heads to Frisco, Texas for a rematch with the Bison with the swagger of a juggernaut that has demolished the competition along the way.
"I think this team is different," MSU head coach Brent Vigen said last week when reflecting on his team’s meteoric trajectory. "This team is better equipped for this time of year.”
