Bobcats pile up 66 points on Wildcats

BOZEMAN — Justin Lamson threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more scores, Julius Davis added 114 yards on just 10 carries with two touchdowns and Montana State beat Weber State 66-14 on Saturday.

Montana State (8-2, 6-0 Big Sky) extended its winning streak to eight straight games with its 21st consecutive home victory.

After punting on their first possession, the Bobcats scored the next nine times they had the ball. Eight of those were touchdowns, and the field goal came after a Caden Dowler interception in the closing seconds of the first half. 

Dowler also forced a fumble, two of four Bobcats takeaways. 

Davis’ 52-yard touchdown run made it 14-0 and was the longest of his career.

“Every week is a new opportunity to take advantage of and try to learn and perfect our craft,” Davis said. “So we’re just taking it day by day, and the results show we’ve been working at it.”

After Dowler knocked the ball losed from Weber State running back Colter May, the Bobcats had a 10-play, 67-yard drive that took over five minutes for a 21-0 lead on Adam Jones’ 2-yard run.

Lamson had a 4-yard touchdown pass to Rocky Lencioni with 6:31 left before halftime and Myles Sansted kicked a 48-yard field goal with four seconds remaining for a 31-7 lead.

Montana State scored 28 straight points in the second half to make it 59-7 with 14:30 left in the fourth.

Lamson was 12 of 16 for 117 yards. Patrick Duchien, Chance Wilson and Jordan Reed also threw a pass. Eleven different players caught a pass for Montana State — none with more than two.

Dijon Jennings had a touchdown pass and an interception for Weber State (3-7, 1-5). Spencer Ferguson rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown.

Davis had his sixth 100-yard rushing game as a Bobcat.
