Montana State, ranked third nationally, is set for a critical Big Sky Conference road game against No. 22 Idaho State at the ICCU Dome.

This game marks the first of two consecutive road contests for Montana State. Coach Brent Vigen is on the verge of setting a program record for wins, needing just one more victory to tie Rob Ash. Idaho State, under coach Cody Hawkins, has had an up-and-down season but remains a formidable opponent, despite losing running back Dason Brooks to a season-ending injury.
