Montana State vs Sac State Preview
The Hornets are coming off a 21-13 win over Northern Colorado last weekend. Sac State quarterback Kaiden Bennett went 25-31 for 183 yards and three touchdowns in the win.
Bennett has 1,350 yards, 10 TDs and three interceptions this season. He’s also the team’s leading rusher with 339 yards and four scores on the ground.
So far this season, Sac State has played balanced ball. The Hornets are netting just over 30 points a game on offense. Defensively, Sac State is surrendering 22.0 points per contest.
“They’re continuing to do the things that they’ve done so well the past couple of years, really been solid to spectacular in all three phases, finding ways to win games,” Bobcats head coach Brent Vigen said about Sac State. “And part of their calling card the last couple of years, (winning) those tight games. We’re going to certainly have our hands full come Saturday.”
On the other side, Montana State is coming off a dominant 59-19 win over Cal Poly last week. The Bobcats’ dual-threat quarterback Sean Chambers finished with 151 passing yards, 91 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Montana State’s ground game was firing on all cylinders, netting 335 yards.
In addition to Chambers, expect MSU to also use QB Tommy Mellott, who has completed 21 of his 29 passes for three touchdowns.
The game was indicative of what we’ve seen from Montana State so far this season. The Bobcats are averaging 45.5 points a game on offense. Defensively, they’re allowing 16.8 points per contest.
When these two teams met last season, Sac State beat Montana State, 31-24 in overtime. Expect another barn burner this year. We’ll see if the end result is the same.
Montana State vs Sac State: What They’re Saying
“Their overall depth throughout the roster is really impressive. Offense, defense, special teams, they really excel and do a good job in all three. That makes them a really tough team,” Sac State head coach Andy Thompson said about the Bobcats, adding:
“A lot of teams, one side of the ball is really good, and the other one maybe struggles. I just don’t see that with this team. They do a really good job on both sides. To be averaging 45 points a game and only giving up 16 a game, and then having the special teams where they scored a touchdown last week and then they blocked the punt, just shows that they have really good depth throughout their roster.”
MSU is 8-2 against Sac Sate in its last 10 games. Montana State is the favorite, but the Hornets should challenge them.
