The Vikings held the Coyotes to 231 yards of offense and forced four turnovers. It was the most points scored by the Vikings in 32 games, the fewest points allowed in 19 games, and fewest yards allowed in 32 games.

LITTLE MAN, BIG FOOT: FR K Cody Williams made a 52-yard field goal with four seconds remaining at Montana (10/6) to give the Vikings a 22-20 victory. It was his third successful kick of the game and the longest FG of Williams career - high school or college. He was named Big Sky Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance.

STOP, IN THE NAME OF DEFENSE: Portland State’s defense had perhaps its best game in three seasons in a 22-20 upset of 14th-ranked Montana. The Vikings allowed only 289 yards and 20 points. They recovered four fumbles leading to 19 PSU points. Montana punted seven times and fumbled twice in nine first-half possessions against the Vikings and did not have positive offensive yardage in the first quarter. In all, PSU’s defense had six three-and-outs. The win over Montana was the first by the Vikings in Missoula in Big Sky Conference play (previously 0-9).

ANOTHER STAND BY THE DEFENSE: Portland State continued to rely heavily on its defense in a win over Northern Colorado. The Vikings made three interceptions, had three three-and-outs, 11 tackles for loss and six sacks in a 35-14 Homecoming win over the Bears. FR S Anthony Adams and JR CB Montre Brown made interceptions during UNC’s first two drives. The Vikings offense turned both takeaways into touchdowns on drives of 99 and 17 yards and cruised to victory from there. It marked PSU’s first back-to-back wins since the 2015 season.

ALL-AROUND EFFORT STINGS HORNETS: Portland State had quality play on offense, defense and special teams in a wire-to-wire 41-14 victory at Sacramento State. The Vikings had 546 yards of total offense and 41 points - both being their most in a Big Sky game this season. The defense forced three turnovers and six three-and-outs against the Hornets. On special teams, the Vikings blocked a punt and added two more field goals. SO QB Jalani Eason (7 rushes, 165 yards, 2 TDs), FR WR Mataio Talalemotu (three receptions, 143 yards, 1 TD) and JR ROV Romeo Gunt (8 tackles, INT, FR) all had big games for PSU.

A LOSS, BUT WHAT A SHOW: Portland State lost 48-45 to Idaho State, but put on its best offensive performance of the season against a Division I team. PSU totaled 597 yards of offense, getting 316 on the ground and 281 through the air. SO QB Davis Alexander was responsible for five touchdowns, passing for 273 yards and two scores and rushing for 64 yards and three TDs. JR RB Carlos Martin rushed for a career-high 105 yards.
