Winning and the Losing


As the football season nears the halfway point, the Montana State Bobcats are sitting at 3-2 on the season. 3 wins at home and 2 loses on the road. The first loss of the season came to a very talented Eastern Washington team in Cheney, Washington. The first road game of the season and the Cats came away with a 50-55 loss. The following week, a very convincing win over Cal Poly made the season look like it would be a good one. That is until we traveled to Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. Another offensive shootout ended in a 41-49 loss of the Cats and took their season to a 2-2 mark. home field advantage so far this season has seemed to be a helping factor as we have seen 2 wins at home and 2 losses on the road. 

This trend continued after yesterday's win against conference foe, Sacramento State. Another home win for the Bobcats and with the Bobcat's schedule alternating home and away each week of the season, continuing this winning/losing trend will not be enough for the team to make the playoffs. Another test will come this weekend as we travel to Portland to take on the 4-1 Portland State Vikings. We are entering must-win territory and any more losses for the Cats can truly hurt their playoff chances.
