No. 12 Montana beat No. 21 Idaho State 38-30, strengthening its FCS playoff hopes and keeping alive its chance to share the Big Sky title. The Grizzlies scored in all three phases: Monte Gillman returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, and Devin Dunn returned a late first-half interception 94 yards for another. Keali’i Ah Yat threw three touchdown passes, including two to Eli Gillman, who extended his Big Sky career touchdown record to 80. Landon Ransom-Goelz had nine catches for 159 yards and a score. Montana next faces rival Montana State in its regular-season finale.
