Montana State survives Idaho State in triple overtime, Eli Gillman breaks Cooper Kupp’s Big Sky record, and Idaho hangs 62 on Eastern Washington.

Big Sky Now recaps every Week 10 game and previews Week 11, including Idaho State at Montana on ESPN2.

Hosted by Luke Schmit with Daily Inter Lake sports reporter Jon Allen, Mike Maynard of the Columbia Basin Herald, and Coeur d’Alene Press sports editor Mark Nelke. Fritz Neighbor is out this week caring for his cat, Beamer, but his picks are still in. 

Montana State survived Idaho State 28-26 in triple overtime, winning on a two-point conversion after the Bengals led 20-13 in the fourth quarter and outgained the Bobcats 410 to 332. 

Montana beat Portland State 57-24 as Eli Gillman broke Cooper Kupp’s Big Sky career scoring record and the Grizzlies’ school career rushing record.

Idaho hung 62 on Eastern Washington, its most points ever against the Eagles in 31 meetings and piled up 650 yards. 

Northern Arizona jumped to No. 6 in the rankings after rushing for 238 yards and five touchdowns at Cal Poly.

UC Davis edged Utah Tech 24-17, and Southern Utah beat Northern Colorado 31-24. 

Week 11 opens Friday with Southern Utah at Portland State. On Saturday night, Idaho State visits Montana on ESPN2: is it a must-win for the Grizzlies’ playoff hopes, and can the Bengals bounce back from their triple overtime heartbreak? Which team is under more pressure when Weber State visits Northern Arizona with the Red Rock rivalry trophy on the line? Would a close game or a comfortable win at Northern Colorado concern you more about Montana State? Can Eastern Washington finish with momentum at Utah Tech in the first meeting between the schools? And can Idaho finally snap a six-game losing streak to UC Davis in the Kibbie Dome? 

This is the closest the Pick ’Em race has been. Jon leads with 63 wins after a perfect week, Mark is one game back at 62, Mike sits at 60, and Fritz and Luke are tied at 59. Join the season-long Pick ’Em here: https://qr1.be/D321P8 - Someone needs to beat Jon.
