FCS Champion Montana State Wins 17th Straight Game, Knocking Off Nevada 20-7
Montana State enters as a 3.5-point favorite and seeks its 17th straight win after topping 300 passing yards in back-to-back games.
Top-Ranked Montana State defeated Nevada 20-7 on Saturday, extending the Bobcats' program-record winning streak to 17 games in Reno.
Nevada head football coach Jeff Choate, who led Montana State from 2016-2020, faced his former program as the Bobcats sought their first win in Reno since 1979.
Bobcats head coach Brent Vigen noted the team rallied following the injury to All-American safety Caden Dowler, while wide receiver Taco Dowler called his brother a "team-first player" for his blocking effort.
Nevada's offense struggled to generate momentum as quarterback Luke Duncan threw interceptions that stalled two first-half drives, with the Wolf Pack finishing 1-1 after the loss.
With the victory, Montana State advances to 3-0 and returns home to Bozeman to host Central Connecticut on Saturday, maintaining momentum in the FCS showcase.
