No thread? MSU @ Weber

[Twentysix]

24-20 at half Weber leads.

After crapping the bed against the other Montana I did not expect this.

[CorrosionDoc]

Three turnovers by McGhee (2 ints, 1 fumble) have kept Weber in scoring positions the entire first half and kept this game closer than it should be. MSU is up 27-24 early in the 3rd and they have the ball back again after the Bobcat D forced another 3 and out. Starting to look like the more dominant team, unless MSU coughs it up another 3x in the 2nd half.

30-24 now, start of the fourth quarter.

Weber has it at their own 22, 1st and 10.

[Squealofthepig]

Weber State "goes" for it on fourth and five, trailing 30-24, at the Bobcat 20 yardline. Bobcats don't bite on the hard counts, Weber takes a timeout and looks to be going for a field goal to cut the lead in half.

12 penalties total for 101 yards (about even on both sides).

[Squealofthepig]

Field goal BLOCKED; Bobcats take over in good position. 30-24 MSU, 10:09 to go.

[Squealofthepig]

Montana State's defense steps up and their offense stops coughing up the ball every two minutes (literally - McGhee's first two passes were intercepted). Bobcats get a nice scoring drive after the blocked field goal and resume control, scoring on a nice pass play on third-and-1.

37-24 MSU with 6:25 to go.

[CorrosionDoc]

A tale of 2 halves: MSU scores 17 so far while Weber puts up a goose egg...

Bobcats recover a fumble with 5:30 left.

[Squealofthepig]

MSU seems dialed-in now, on both sides of the ball. Clock down under four minutes with the Bobcats still driving, near the end-zone.

[Squealofthepig]

And a dumb penalty on Weber gives the Bobcats a first down at the six with 3:04 to go.

TD Bobcats
44 - 24

[Squealofthepig]

Kirk with another impressive touchdown run. 44-24 MSU over Weber now with two minutes left.

[CopperCat]

Four turnovers by McGhee alone in this game, and MSU is up by 20. I don't know of too many teams that have done that in recent memory.
