But it was a fake, and SDSU kicker Chase Vinatieri’s 31-yard scoring dash put the game out of reach, 31-21. Still Murray wasn’t done. Again he found Herbert for a touchdown, this one for 26 yards that closed out the scoring. Herbert caught nine balls for 111 yards. His two scoring grabs gave him 17 for his career, fourth best on the Bobcats all-time list. The ensuing onside kick with just under 2 minutes to play was unsuccessful, and following a last-second SDSU punt, the Bobcats were unable to score in the waning moments. Mac Bignell was a constant headache for SDSU. MSU’s senior linebacker was in on nine tackles, two behind the line of scrimmage.

The fi rst came on its opening drive, but MSU offensive linemen Mitch Brott and Dylan Mahoney each got hands on a fi eld goal attempt to stymie the UND scoring opportunity. “One of the biggest plays in the game was us blocking that fi eld goal,” Choate said. After that, the Cats scored on three straight drives. Logan Jones leaped into the end zone from 11 yards out, Andersen bulled his way in from two, and Wilson Brott made his fi rst career reception memorable by turning it into a 12-yard touchdown. “He was wide open,” Murray said. Mitch Brott, the younger of the two brothers from Billings West, reveled in his brother’s score. “That was cool to see,” he said. North Dakota got on the board with a Jake Disterhaupt 37-yard intercep- tion return for a touchdown, and eventually – late in the third quarter – pulled to within 14. Brady Oliveira’s 34-yard run with 3:22 remaining in that period made the score 35-21. But the Cats quelled the uprising. Andersen provided the dagger, a 27-yard run early in the fourth quarter, then Murray snuck in for the icing. Montana State’s win was its fi rst of the season, but coupled with last year’s season fi nale marked the team’s second straight league road win.

MSU marched 71 yards with the opening kickoff, and narrowly missed a Temperature: 65 F • Wind: NW 13-18 • Weather: overcast, mild, rain REPLAY: Official-Bruce Palmer, Communicator-Randy Wilke touchdown when Cardon Malan made an open-fi eld tackle as Murray was headed OFFICIAL SCORER: JP Pomnichowski toward the end zone. That drive ended in a 24-yard Gabe Peppenger fi eld goal. MSU’s second drive stalled at the WSU 16, and ended in a missed fi eld goal. Weber State tied the score early in the second quarter on a 28-yard Trey Tuttle fi eld goal, then took the lead when Tuttle connected on a 21-yarder mid- way through that period. Tuttle put Weber up 9-3 with 37 seconds remaining in the fi rst half, but as rain began to fall MSU found lightning in a bottle. Narrowly missing on a long pass attempt to Jabarri Johnson with under 20 seconds to play, the Bobcats caught Weber napping. MSU hurried to the line of scrimmage before WSU’s defense was aligned, and Murray found Lance McCutcheon wide open for a 64-yard touchdown. The Bobcats had chances after Weber’s third quarter keepaway act. After Murray extended an early fourth-quarter drive with a 11-yard run on third-and-10, Murray threw a lateral to Kevin Kassis, who tossed the ball back to Murray for a 25-yard touchdown pass. A Tuttle fi eld goal punched Weber State’s lead out to 25-17, and MSU failed to pass midfi eld on its fi nal drive. The Bobcats came through their brutal season-opening gauntlet of four con- secutive nationally-ranked opponents with a 1-3 record, and stand 1-1 in Big Sky play. Weber State is 4-1 overall, 2-0 in the league.
