BOZEMAN — Shorthanded last week, No. 1 Montana State had enough to get past ranked Northern Arizona 28-14 on Saturday to remain unbeaten and extend its school-record winning streak to 19 games.
The Bobcats, who were without quarterback Justin Lamson, receiver/returner Taco Dowler, safety Caden Dowler and running back Adam Jones, could be injury depleted again this week when they travel to play Big Sky Conference rival Idaho for a rare Friday night game that will be nationally televised.
On this week's edition of the Bobcat Insider show, hosts Toni Wetmore of MTN Sports and MSU play-by-play broadcaster Keaton Gillogly are joined by coach Brent Vigen and safety Taki Uluilakepa.
