The Montana football team is gearing up for a game against Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California this Saturday. Despite Cal Poly’s recent struggles, the Grizzlies are not underestimating their opponents, as they have tough matchups against UC Davis and Montana State coming up in November. Cal Poly, with just two wins this season, has played top teams closely, including a close loss to Idaho. The Grizzlies, who have not played at Cal Poly in six years, will look to take advantage of their air attack against Cal Poly’s weaker pass defense.
In other Big Sky Conference games, Montana State will face Eastern Washington, the only other unbeaten team in the top 25 of FCS rankings besides Dartmouth. Montana State boasts strong scoring offense and defense, but injuries on defense might be a concern. UC Davis, with its league-leading pass attack, is expected to dominate Northern Colorado. Northern Arizona is favored against Weber State, and Sacramento State is predicted to win against Portland State in a shootout.
The Grizzlies’ game against Cal Poly will be broadcast on Scripps Sports and ESPN+ at 3 p.m. with predictions favoring Montana for the win. Overall, the Big Sky Conference is gearing up for a weekend of exciting matchups with high stakes for the teams involved.
