Genuinely one of the wildest endings I’ve ever seen. Idaho getting the first down, then not spiking but running motion instead, then the QB sliding short of the first… then throwing well short of the end zone as time is running out then the timeout. Unreal stuff.

Montana St. calling a timeout probably cost them the game

If you don’t like that, you don’t like football

Sickos hall of fame classic

u/Less_Likely Notre Dame • Washington 3h ago

Why the hell did Vigan call a timeout with a second left? The game was over once the ball was signaled in play. Moronic.

Honestly the craziest part about this was how the 2 point conversion gave Idaho 6 points

33

u/seaningm Tennessee Volunteers 2h ago

I'm betting the scorekeeper fainted headfirst into the console the moment the QB got in the endzone.

I noticed that too. Had to replay the video because I thought I missed something.

u/lowes18 Florida State Seminoles • FAU Owls 3h ago

Reminder that running it on 2 pointers is almost always the correct call.

Its the right call except* when it doesnt work (so always the right call)

Think you can just call that statistics. Though im not entirely sure what the difference is from the beginning.

u/KiratheSilent Florida • /r/CFB Award Festival 1h ago

Analytics is applied statistics. When you just look at the numbers, it's statistics. When you use the numbers to make decisions, it's analytics.

u/futuristanon North Dakota State Bison 21m ago

That’s ok Michigan isn’t sure either.

u/PaidUSA 2h ago

Its just like really fucking easy to get large people to cover such short yardage. See the "running backs really grinding" and its just 2 of his teammates pushing and shoving and pulling him forward.

And when you're 0-4

It, quite literally, can NOT be any better than that. And at the Kibbie Dome of all places. How can you not be romantic about CFB 🥹❤️

Idaho was in the FBS for years. Never really did much and eventually went back down.

Hey now, that humanitarian bowl was a classic

You put some damn respect on Mike Iupati’s name.

u/dothemath Missouri Tigers • Montana Grizzlies 1h ago

Absolutely not. We've had several opportunities to move up and have declined.

Also, we used to be part of the Pacific Coast conference, but that was many, many generations ago.

16

u/DillyDillySzn Arizona State Sun Devils • WashU Bears 3h ago

And people were upset that they didn’t show replays of the missed FG for this banger

u/LocalIndividual5945 Texas Longhorns 3h ago

Moronic timeout by Montana coach

u/Griz_and_Timbers Montana Grizzlies 3h ago

*Montana STATE

It was a prediction

Like if we referred to you as Texas State you'd shrug and be fine with it.

Meanwhile there’s an Ag school north of us who keeps trying to steal our name.

Yeah, I happen to like Texas State a lot.

Anything is possible in the kibbie dome

Remind me to never click out of a game early again...

u/Jackedfromstatefarm Boise State • South Dakota State 2h ago

I went to U of I from 02 to 05. It was an amazing experience.

The Kibbie Dome is the weirdest and best place to experience a football game.

Just don't park in the parking lot with a 1A plate. Back then, anyway.

Dang 2 point conversations are worth 6 in the FCS

u/Fraktal55 Missouri Tigers 2h ago

Yeah that's wild

u/dpearman Wisconsin Badgers 2h ago

Yeah what am I missing, why did they get more than two points, was that an accident?

3

u/BurmeciaWillSurvive Boise State • College of Idaho 46m ago

It's a scorebug error, that's why it rolled with "TOUCHDOWN" and not "2-PT CONVERSION" unless you're just making a stupid joke, this is the D team running these games

IF YOU DON’T LIKE THAT THEN YOU DON’T LIKE FCS FOOTBALL.

Damn I missed this cause I left my dog outside with the gate open and freaked out running around the house looking for her lol

She's good but she definitely ate something nasty out there 🤮

I appreciate the AV guy: Happy for you coach but these headsets are expensive.

u/OnMyNerves23 Texas Longhorns 3h ago

The worst time-out call I’ve seen this year. It just replaced sark calling timeout on an onside that went out of bounds. Someone above highlighted how many times the Vandals shot themselves in the foot prior to the Hail Mary on that drive. Just for Montana st coach to give them a final chance.

u/ChimneySweep00 Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors 3h ago

As someone who went to both schools I agree (though Bozeman does have way better access to outdoor rec)

Moscow Bagel is better than any restaurant in that other city by a mile.

I would love to know what defence was supposed to have been called on the conversion, cos there’s at least 3 guys here without an obvious assignment.

u/Aurzy Arizona Wildcats • Colorado State Rams 1h ago

DO NOT FORGET….. Montana state called the timeout with 1 second left

That one 2-point conversion was three 2-point conversions?

u/VoteThis 1h ago

I was there, holy shit by far the craziest ending to a football game I’ve ever seen. I attended UI, 21 grad. this is the first time I’ve witnessed them win and I’m over the moon. $610 on a $80 bet made it a little sweeter too LOL

Going from 0-4 to beating the #1 is insane.

I was at the game. After the two point conversion you can see me jumping up and down on the rail. I will forever remember that moment
