Idaho State at Montana State
Posted

BOZEMAN — Montana State's past and present will collide Saturday night when the Bobcats travel to Mackay Stadium in Reno to face FBS Nevada, coached by Jeff Choate.

Choate is now in his third season leading the Wolf Pack. He was head coach at Montana State from 2016 to 2020 and built the Cats into a national contender with a trip to the FCS semifinals in 2019.

On this week's edition of the Bobcat Insider show, hosts Toni Wetmore of MTN Sports and play-by-play voice Keaton Gillogly are joined by current MSU coach Brent Vigen and offensive lineman Burke Mastel to preview the matchup with Choate and Nevada, and to talk about the Wolf Pack's defense, which Mastel said is MSU's "best test so far."
