The Bobcats (10-2, 8-0), ranked third in the FCS coaches poll, ran the clock out after Eli Gillman scored on a 52-yard run to pull the second-ranked Grizzlies (11-1, 7-1) within three with 6:59 to play. That included a fourth-and-1 conversion at midfield and Lamson running for 5 yards on a third-and-4 from the Montana 40.

On the next possession the Grizzlies had touchdowns nullified by penalties on back-to-back plays. Eventually Zac Crews blocked a 44-yard field-goal attempt. Lamson capped the ensuing drive w ith a 23-yard touchdown run for what proved to be the decisive points. Lamson, a transfer from Stanford, was 18-of-20 passing for 175 yards and ran for 80 on 15 keepers. Julius Davis had 106 yards on 15 carries. Ah Yat was 26 of 32 for 186 yards, Gillman ran for 132 yards on 15 carries and Davis Brooks had 10 catches for 113 and a score. Piling up 72 yards on the final possession, the Bobcats finished with 416 yards to 364 for Montana. - AP College Football
