Montana State’s defensive formula is to try to stop the run and force opponents to throw the ball. Ramon Jefferson has rushed for 1,138 yards and 13 touchdowns. Three Bearkats have more than 500 receiving yards - Cody Chrest (640 on 46 receptions), Ife Adeyi (558, 45) and Jequez Ezzard (538, 36) with five, eight and six touchdowns respectively. He’s a very athletic guy who can run the football as well.” He has not thrown an interception in any of his past three games. In the 10 games Schmid has played, the Kats are averaging 45.2 points and scored no fewer than 35. Austin victory because of concussion protocol, is on the field. But the numbers improve when Schmid, who missed the Stephen F. Sam Houston is third in FCS at 43 points per game and fourth in yardage (496.1). The numbers would be even more impressive if he was finishing games in blowout wins.
With an ability to extend plays, Schmid has thrown for 2,464 yards and 27 touchdowns and is Sam Houston’s third-leading rusher (338). “This kid’s an outstanding athlete who adds a different dimension to how they play.” “They changed quarterbacks, which is a gutsy move this late in the season, and there’s a reason they did,” Keeler said. “We made a change we thought was better for our team,” Vigen said.ĭays before its playoff opener, and shortly after Mellott was named to start against UT Martin, then-starting quarterback Matthew McKay entered the transfer portal. Mellott is an electric runner and is developing as a passer.

His 1,434 rushing yards in 2021 are third-best in FCS. In six career playoff games, Ifanse has three 100-yard efforts, including a 196-yard rushing game. Workhorse Isaiah Ifanse gained 176 yards on 28 carries. This should be the game’s best matchup, Sam Houston’s run defense against run-heavy Montana State, which last week rushed for a school postseason-record 387 yards in its 26-7 win over Tennessee-Martin, running the ball on 60 of its 80 offensive plays. “It’s an awesome opportunity for us to take on the top dog in the tournament,” Vigen said. Should Montana State win, there’s still a chance it could host in the semifinals. Sam Houston is guaranteed another home game next week if it gets by Montana State, one of five Big Sky teams selected for postseason.
